    I believe our very own Mr Paul Sherman & Co may be involved in parts of this?

    I've no idea which one its on, if they in fact show it-just a clip of my weather station and how it links into the pc, along with a short comment about the 'micro climate' as they want to call it for this area.

    30-40secs I think I timed it at-probably end up 10 secs!

    Nice!!! I guess you'll be part of the much praised, reduced annual expenditure on stars salaries then John? :rolleyes:

    He was out with a couple of the other guys filming with Chris Hollins during the Spanish Plume Thunderstorm a couple of weeks ago!

    I hope to god they dont use the footage we shot with Chris as it was Bustola Crapola on what was termed by the models to be the event of the last 5 years :lol: :fool:

    Spent the day with them but have not signed any release forms which usually means they wont use anything they shot with us or they are breaking Tv Filming rules I think ??

    Tomasz has been tweeting about the show for the last month - travelling round the UK filming. Promises to be very interesting, and pleasant to watch too.

    Just watching it now...a slightly embarrassing opening...I don't know why they needed to dumb down the warm and cold fronts and jet streams to angry rugby players... it seems a little bit condescending!

    Anyhow, I will keep watching and hopefully it will improve!

    You should know it would be a bit cringeworthy when we have Chris and Carol aka the 2 lovebirds together! But because its(mostly) about the weather, I shall be watching!

    Glad it's not just me! I gave it five minutes too and then turned over, just seen that they are talking to Michael Fish......

    Such a shame they'e gone for dumbing down when it could have been so good.

    I'm also p!$$ed that it's all being dumbed down. It's as if we're all eight or nine years old. It'd be better suited to CBBC.

    I think it's about time pressure charts were brought back in on national forecasts.
