BBC Weather presenters

Personally I'm a fan of Isobel Lang - but where has she gone?? she is still on the BBC weather site, but we haven't seen her for ages.

She was on BBC4 weather last night.

The last I heard is that she was pregnant, or was that Sophie Raworth. I think it was. When is she to return?

It was quite strange because a few days ago I asked the exact same question - where were Sarah Wilmshurst, Isobel Lang and Helen Young ?, and suddenly their all back. They must all have been on maternity leave at the same time.

I like Helen Young, but the others are good too. I actually like all of the BBC weather presenters, they don't have any ' cheesy ' ones.

I was wondering who did the weather on todays one o clock news, because I saw John Hammond on News 24 at just before three O Clock and then at 25 past three Sarah Wilmshurst. Then on the six o clock news John was back, i was wondering if Sarah had to go home sick or something because usually the person who takes over from the morning/early afternoon person usually does the six and ten weather.

And on an unrelated note, did anybody see the trailers on MTV a few weeks ago with a mock weather forecast presented none other than John Kettley (I think thats how you spell it), I wonder why the BBC got rid of him/or he left because he was a good forecaster, up there in the realms of Michael Fish, Carol Kirkwood, and Rob McElwee

There is Dan Corbett of course who is a legend, but also some of the more 'unsung' presnters are quite good too, like Nina Ridge and Jay Wynee(s.p?)

Oh and have you come across a Everton Fox?
Thats such a class name!

It was Sarah.

The best presenters in my opinion, the two Helens, Alex Deakin and of course, Dan Corbett.

I rather like Nina Ridge, but Jay "erm" Wynne is, erm, terrible!

Corbett is, as you say, clearly a legend, with McElwee and Hammond following close behind.

And on the point of this thread, it's quite a shock to see that Isobel Lang is back on the telly again - I assumed she'd done a Suzanne Charlton and mysteriously disappeared after having her baby. It must surely be the longest maternity leave ever though!

*SPLUTTERS IN DISBELIEF*

Corbett, better than McElwee? Not possible; Rob is in a league of his own nationwide-wise.......

Oh dear, I think I might have upset her...

Rob is indeed extremely good and until our favourite Anglo-American friend came along with talk of hammocks, brollies, bendy weather fronts and tropical troublemakers there was no competition.

I suppose it's all a matter of opinion really.

And anyway Katherine, on a sub-nationwide level... (go on, I know you want to say it!)

I don't think I'll bother - I'll leave it up to others to use their imaginations on this one.....
