central news' was a sick joke tonight. magic tricks and a family in the studio saying how much they love their dog - sounds like they're scraping the same barrel as look north hull!!

there were a few vt glitches on central - a paused frame of the "dog" interview revealed to us all that the interview was a pre-record.

lets hope midlands today have more problems later - apart from yesterday's *debacle*, things have been going far too smoothly!

I think Central News was absolutely brilliant tonight actually, the best show for a while. Some people actually enjoy a bit of "light hearted" stuff for a Friday. I think you are sick joke mate, especially watching a programme that you take the pi** off all the time, now thats what I dont understand. You will keep slagging it off, but you will keep watching it. Go back and what your Midlands Today you sad person....

But all you do is keep slagging it off. If you dont like it leave it alone. You used to like Central, until ITV took over it, but it is still a good programme. If Magic Tricks was featured on BBC Midlands Today, then I would sure it would be "that was superb" and not a bad comment about it.

You've been here 10 minutes and think you know everything.

If magic tricks were featured on Midlands Today, it would be fab because the banter involved would have a much better quality than that of Central News. Nuff said.

Now please stop making such idiotic comments.

Who asked you to but in mate, and I have been here well longer than 10 minutes mate belive you me, I dont know why considering its full of people like you. Its all the same. Theres more banter on Midlands Today because the presenters are so unprofessional and stupid they cant think of anything else to do. At least Central gives a degree of profesionalism. You all say that new the Midlands Today set is the best of BBC News, but excuse me, it looks like they got the walls from a scrap yard, and its so poorley designed that all they can think is a shot of 3 or more computers sitting doing nothing and a bunch of plasmas desplaying a still image behind them, which have probalbly cost thousands of our money, doing sod all. At least Centrals studio is to some meaning, a proper view of birmingham, and its LIVE. For god sake, I think you need to wake up matey.

Its like because we pay the BBC we have to obide by it. A corporation ripping us off for over 100 quid a year. They would never go subscription because they now they wouldnt get any subscriptions. Oh yeah sorry, except you here on TV Forum.

Jordo, I thought you had enough of this place, that you were going to leave us forever, oh and yes, that we were "enough to depress you with some of these people...". Christ, can't anybody follow through on a promise these days? Yeesh!
