In today's forecast a person came on screen infront of Becky Mantin, it was a grey blurr and it looked like it was a cleaner, because it or the person went from left to right on the screen so must have been cleaning the floor.

No I am not joking.

Is this still from Grays Inn?

Honestly, they may as well scrap the weather on ITV if it's becoming such an effort to do. Just have Mark or the newsreader do a weather update after the Markets or something.

Well then they'd lose the sponsorship opportunity.

It does, and will continue to after the SPC moves to Chiswick I'm told. In fact it's being refurbished currently.

Not really, Channel 4 gets the newsreader to do the forecast, but its still sponsored.

I don't see why the weather presenter can't be in the main studio and presenting the weather live. GMTV do it and its the one the thing GMTV can actually do better than most channels. Its not as though the main ITV News studio is lacking for a CSO screen Laughing
