Points West

Sheep in the singular, not plural, I trust.

I'd hate for them to have had FOUR viewers tonight.

Don't you think it proves something, though, Nick when HTV have two mega cock ups two days running and nobody here apart from me spotted them. And I only spotted them because I had to watch!!

Yesterday lunchtime, live went down, programme was short, Peter says goodbye and ends up shuffling papers before saying 'I'm sorry, you've got more of me ...'

Today, package goes down, several fades to black and furious ad-libbing later they get themselves back going - and when I say they went to black, I mean they went to black. Totally off-air.

So, since we argued about it a while ago, I ask again - who the hell watches HTV?

Sounds like the answer is "Only those who are paid to".

It's just sad that those people are paid by the opposition!

The viewing figure gap at the end of last week would make that Gary chap, who was singing their praises, weep.

Yep, our Mr C's gone quiet recently. Only two posts in April and one, so far, in May.

By the way, news just in, although the female blue tit was still sitting on the eggs, she was looking the other way, so doesn't count. Just the two viewers tonight.

Nice to see the lovely Fanny Vowels back on Points West this week.

There was also a cheesy moment this evening when the presenters showed off their new BBC awards, but clip of the day had to be the rather merry Chris Vacher accepting an award from Michael Grade.

Any news on who is replacing the doily yet????

Much prefer the new look intro to the evening programme on Points West than what I've seen in the Midlands with them actually staying with George and Sophie and then opting out with panning wide shot and the presenters introduced via a voiceover. Whereas the Midlands opt out half way through George and Sophie's spiel, with the sound going all funny and them having crappy name astons too...

Classic PW this evening, Chris Vacher trying to talk to a baby via sign language. He did the sign for "hungry?", the baby look confused and then someone flashed up a caption saying "Who is that strange old man?"

Very funny!

Nobody noticed who has presented breakfast bulletins the past two days, then? Shame on you all.

Morning?

Pray, what exactly is this concept?

(Did you get your invite for the 27th?)

PM, Nick. PM. Tut tut. Don't want to feel left out now.
