She's on South Today???

 

What happened to Georgie Palmer?

 

Georgie Palmer is on maternity leave :(. Is Laura Trant related to one of our illustrious ex-directors?

 

We are not blessed with any quality on South Today with the exception of Georgie 'Pantene' Palmer. The 3 weather ladies all seem a bit frumpy and the blonde one is frankly a bit weird. Then we have Sally 'wheres the volume control' Taylor, Bungay (don't mean Stuart Norvell), Caroline (see a dentist and possibly a bath) Richardson, Laura 'a bit uptight' Trant and Dani Sindhar who has possibilities but still can't work out what exactly is wrong with the face.

 

Dani is the only one who concentrates on the news instead of the jokey and somewhat embarrassing banter (especially Norvell) enter into with the weather presenters and his imaginary friends in London. Does he know Bill and Sian aren't listening or even know who he is? Was half watching a old rerun of Love Actually with my wife the other week and Norvell reminds me of Hugh Grant's book shop asistant and I can imagine him furtively flitting through the corridors of BBC south in pretty much the same fashion.

 

All the blokes who present on South Today lack any sort of gravitas with the possible exception of Richard Johnson who continues to surprise by popping up on the BBC news channel and the odd spot of MOTD commentary but I can't stand how they all pamber to Taylor who really needs to go the more creased she looks. Perhaps it's time for Johnson to be given the role full time of South Today Anchor and leave Taylor to her - SATURDAY SHOW ON RADIO SOLENT - DOES ANYONE LISTEN TO HER ON THAT SHOW!?

I've come to know you as the forum's deep thinking philosopher, but blimey is there no topic that you don't intellectually critique?

 

Amazing. I enjoyed reading it even though I don't know the characters (must catch an episode on i Player, I guess).

 

I am a Points West viewer down here in sunny Somerset, and yes, the cat is still stuck in the tree!

Blimey, you want to see some of the other regional BBC programmes, you might change your mind about the 'talent' BBC South has. It beats BBC West and BBC Yorks and Lincs, the two I have the dubious pleasure of watching, hands down. I personally Sally Taylor, after her enforced break due to cancer, is particularly good in the anchor role. BTW it's Roger Johnson, not Richard.

Let me tell you about TV news in Los Angeles!!

 

Everyone is so far up there own backside it drives me nuts - still after 10 years.

 

They all spend so much money on fake tan and teeth whitener its a joke.

 

The weather presenters are treated as major 'stars' and when there is a sligght chance of rain it makes the top story. From Jan to March in LA we are constantly told the TV stations are on 'Storm Watch" or 'Storm Track' and there are interviews with so called reporters out in the rain with their yellow fishermen's outfits. Then they will interview some members of the public who are asked what they think of the rain and they respond by (normally in Latino accent) saying "oh.. it's really kinda scary" FFS!!!

 

Then there are the 'Sports' reporters who are so revved up I swear they have had 2 lines of charlie.

 

So my friends, BBC South, ITV, etc, is still a shed load better than a lot of TV elsewhere in the world.

 

Try a sample!!

What's really irritating is rain is expected today and over the weekend - looks like I will not watch much news!

 

Rant Over.

Funny rant - and yep, I can relate to that ('cept the 70° part of the video).

 

I'd have thought LA would be a bit different from good ol' Midwest Indiana but apparently not. Here we don't have weather forecasters - we have STORM TEAM 10. Man - do they love it when there is bad weather due. The thing that does my head in most is that when it's way below freezing they will inform us that if we go outside we will need a coat. No f**** sh****. There's polar bears on the corner huddled together to try and keep warm and they tell me that I'll need a coat....

 

Plus it's always 'here's YOUR temperatures' and 'you'll need THE coat' (instead of the other way round). They ain't my f**** temps - they are just THE temps. No need to talk to me like I'm a cu***!!!!

 

This is the video of our local one:

http://www.wthitv.com/dpp/weather/forecast/Forecast

 

Depending on when you watch it you'll either get the old drunk guy, the younger really intense patronizing guy, the fit bird with a stutter or another fit bird who looks a bit like bugs bunny.

 

Even though I may appear to be slagging it off I still watch it most nights. It is funny (as is the local news as a whole).....

We suffer together!!!!

 

My favourite has to be Jackie Johnson! I always watch her forecasts!

The bird who presents Meridian news in the morning makes my milk turn sour

 

Caroline Richardson would probably make it go brown as well. Still for all the faults of BBC regional news it is 1000% better than trash GMTV. How anybody can watch that s h i t e is beyond me with every 10 mins some desperate 'celebrity' trying to encourage you waste a few quid on phone call to win some 'cash'.

 

Turn over Bert ffs.

The Asian bird on South today is the bestest, something Khan??? wears whore clothes with ripped tights, Roger wants to f*ck her silly.

 

Reham?

 

Stunning..

 

If you check out Twitpic - go on SolentSport - there's a pic of all three weathergirls with Jimmy..the geezer who does the non-league show.

 

He looks like Ron Weasley...

She always seems frumpy on the t.v, but not so much in this fhm pic from the early 2000's. Time is not her friend it would seem!

Crikey. She might wanna take that shirt back to the megastore for a refund. Shocking quality merchandise...

Nice one NC.Probably the first time I agree with every word you say.I have to watch them because it's 'car crash tv' and I seem to get a perverse pleasure in being annoyed by it. Norvell is the worst IMO and I cring waiting for his 'humerous' link with the Breakfast programme.I am almost pleased when they hand over following a tragic event and he can't indulge himself.

I must get out more!

Brilliant comment. A true tea spitting out over the keyboard moment.

 

I think you mean Notting Hill rather than Love Actually ... but it is easy to confuse them
