I think I read somewhere you were a prat.

My favourite weather presenters are Alex Deakin (without glasses) and John Hammond because they are cute. There is a real ugly bugger on Look north mind, Paul somethingorother.


I've never seen Alex Deakin with glasses - you don't mean Darren Bett do you? Paul Hudson is the other bloke, although I've never seen him


No he did have glasses once when on N24 a while back!

My favourite presenters are Rob mcElwee, Micheal Fish, Alex and Helen Young. Of course we cant fail to mention Peter Gibbs':

HELLO AGAIN!

My favourite 3 are Carol Kirkwood - Always a good laugh. Helen Willets - Always a good laugh when she is on Breakfast and Dianne Oxberry - A good laugh with Gordon.

Well, ITV wise, I like Chrissie Reidy, very underated and Anglia's Sara Thornton, who AFAIK is a qualified forecaster unlike most of the ITV regional presenters.

Who else is a qualified weather forecaster on the regions?


I like Chrissie Reidy too, I do like Jo Blythe too, my favourite out of the GMG North team.

I have a funny feeling that Jon Mitchell is a qualified meterologist, I know Martyn Davies from the National Weather is.

Jo Blythe, oh yes, she is doing a great job on Derelict Discoveries on Granada.

I think my favourite BBC forecasters are Everton Fox, Susan Powell, Tori Good and the greatest ever forecaster, Dan Corbett!! What a shame that he left BBC World again a few months back. He made the weather interesting! There was also an Irish forecaster called Brian Cummins IIRC, who was on BBC World weather about 2 years ago; he was alright too.

Chrissie <expletive deleted> Reidy can be incredibly <expletive deleted> funny when rehearsing.

However, you DO need to be in the right <expletive deleted> place in order to watch that.

I think even SHE would admit that when things go <expletive deleted> wrong, she's got a <expletive deleted> foul mouth.

I am SO glad someone finally mentioned the one and only Daniel Corbett. There is no weather forecaster who even vaguely compares with his brilliance - he loves the weather, and conveys that love brilliantly to the viewer. I hope he returns to the UK again.

Close behind Dan is Rob McElwee with his unique, dry wit. Also good are Helen Willetts, Alex Deakin, John Hammond and Isobel Lang.

Carol Kirkwood's always good for a laugh in the morning as well - she's incredibly enthusiastic. She was especially funny stuck out in the snow this morning!

The banter between Bill and Sian with Carol Kirkwood in the morning is very funny!!!
