The NEW Central West and BBC Midlands thread

Did I see someone off Central on MT yesterday? Doing the election bit?

This person appears to be an idiot. Did Nick slap him when he reached the set?

I do hope he never ends up as a z list celeb on the titles Nick Meets

If only! I have to admit I haven't seen much of MT recently with the general erection... But "school of rock" Christ! that really is scraping the barrell. Surly they could have come out to use country folk and done a story on boring local MP's appear in Primark in some desperate bid to appear "In-touch" with the voters.

Coffee Beans, where the hell...

According to a trail I caught this morning, BBC WM now have some sort of complain facility in the Mailbox public space.

How long before there's a comment about Gaunty or Danny Kelly left on there, & will Herr Flick take any notice of it ?

Les Ross now has competition. Malcolm Boyden now has a show on Hereford & Worcester on Sundays between 9 & 12.

I shall have to have a look next week.

(I sent a text in to Les this morning.

B***er never read it out!

Anyone know what are the 'banned' subjects on BBC Local Radio?

Conturary to popular opinion, I don't text every day/week, but there always seems to be 'favourite' callers/texters on each show, like that bloke that lives by the railway line on the Stafford route, that Les speaks to every week, & a couple from Castle Bromwich & Solihull, yet others don't seem to get a look in!

I've tried on Franksy's show, but he don't read mine either. I even sign them too!

I'm not obsessive, like some people, just expressing an opinion.)

i hope we are all getting ready for the 5th of may. no not the election - it is a regional opt-out at 7.30 for people's war: wings and prayers.

patrick burns voiced the trail, so i wonder if pat will be presenting ... if so, and i guess we can expect to see him during the midlands opts within the election programme, then thursday could be a good old patrick-burns-fest.

altho theres always the chance they've got carl chin/john craven or someone else to present the war thing.

I am happy to say I will be back in the Midlands come Thursday for the Patrick Burns-o-rama.

I hope it's a fab Midlands Election special - I'd like Pat with some of Nick's Z-list celeb friends out in the public space at the Mailbox...AND Rustee Lee would definately make the night for me. Is that too much to ask?

i forgot to ask you westy - are you off to wm's mad about music today?

Probably people who they call when they're short of punters

forgot to post this. spotted that kay now has a weather cam in the morning. which she cuts to before the weather forecast. its very INNOVATIVE. wonder why its 14:9. i thought it was just the studio cam that they wheel onto the balcony, but pushed against the canalside window

As regards of someone calling me slow on this forum, just look a TVM's signature! That explains whos SLOW on this forum. Joker.

i love you too

It's not *that* innovative - Look North have done it for ages - back when it was from the self op broomcupboard at Woodhouse Lane and Peter Levy would cut up the camera himself.
