Yeah, it's best when she does the regional forecasts, 'Hello there, GOOD MOOORNINGGG'


Best??? I know what you mean though - talk about "up herself"!


For 'best' read 'funniest'!

Carol Kirkwood (she of the duffle-coats and the sparkly scarf) can be just a wee bit too chirpy very early in the morning.

In my extremely humble opinion.

Kirkwood = Chirpy but personable and credible

Good = Luvvie with zero credibility, and very annoying

No no, Carol Kirkwood is so annoying. She's far to bright in the morning and her accent is like fingernails down a blackboard.

"Gggggyyud myyyornnninggggg!"

Arggggh!

Got to agree with you there. I much prefer Helen Willetts on Breakfast's weather. She manages to be bright and friendly without being too freakishly smiley and shreiky.

Having said that, when Carol's presenting in the studio on other shifts, she seems much more calm and bearable.

Does Matrix actually post in here any more? All I've seen from him is SERIOUSLY unfunny joke sub-lines on the main forum page.

Why yes he does. In fact he's posting this. Now, why's my name being raised, huh?

Jamie, I'm touched, really this is no joke.

The BBC weather graphics appear have gone through some sort of upgrade (well on the n24 1030 forcast anyway) the animation on the fly-by is now incredibly smooth, no gittery movements with the place names almost becoming unreadable as before.

Personally, the only thing I find annoying about Carol is her 'gyyood moryying' (good morning) and even then not very much. I find her weather presenting to be very informative, yet not too detailed, which I think is what makes a good weather presenter.

EDIT: Though having said that, I like the geezer (can't remember his name) on SKY (fomerly of ITV) who just says 'oh, bit o' rain over there' while vaugely flicking his hand towards some place on the map.

Francis Wilson, yes.

The Weather, in association with Qatar Airways, your five-star airline.

"Well hi, there." 10 minutes go by.

"The uh, errm... the northern side..... of the country....... is a bit..... cloudy.... through the rest of the day."

Qatar Airways, your five-star airline.

That combined with their weather package being the most hideous copycat I've ever seen.
