Points West Friday

You'll DEFINITELY need to record from 18:30 through to 19:30, Jeepy.

Our local Radio Times shows Points West from 18:30 to 19:00 and a SEPARATE programme "Concorde Special" from 19:00 to 19:30.

However, Points West have been plugging it as one continuous programme for the whole hour. Haven't a clue what they'll do about the headline reprise and national weather at 18:55. Any idea, Chris?

I therefore agree that a manual record would be best for safety.

As I understand it when other English regions have opted out until 1930 they have ignored the national headline update and weather forecast. (Though they could record and turn round the network weather if they were feeling worthy and play it in at 1926ish?)

What are ITV in the west doing to mark the event?

Waiting for the Evening Post to report it, then mentioning it briefly?

"They said it could never happen ....."

As things stand, there is NO headline reprise in the running order at 7pm .... Although there is an anno at 7pm into the 30 minute documentary ...

So have ITV not even mentioned it. That's a bit poor surely given that it was built in Filton which must be in their area or is that ITV Westcountry

Oh no, Telly, Filton's in Bristol, in the area traditionally known as HTV West all right. Westcountry's the Plymouth lot.

In order to find out accurately whether HTV West have mentioned it or not, you'll need to ask their viewer. It's just a matter of finding him, or her.

Well, I watched ... and they didn't even do a live from Filton. Tsk.

I notice that the Points West weather forcast is a national one too with Tom Schaf.... on the steps of the Aircraft in the Hangar

Am I right in thinking that BBC West played in the audio on the end of the national news themselves, George just saying goodbye rather than we're back just before 7 now here's the news teams across the UK?
