Bring back Rob McElwee!

[Weather-history]

Whilst uploading old BBC forecasts, I came up to this little gem by Rob McElwee from 10th February 2002. The light goes out on him and Rob's touch of eccentricity comes to the surface.

Should never had let him go!

He was a top guy at forecasting and had a lot of charisma. Then again he couldn't be chained to a studio and I guess had to move on.

I believe he is still employed by the Met office but was taken off TV screens

Look at those February maxima.....they look so high given what we've seen recently!

The 90s and 2000s were dark days for coldies!

[Boro Snow]

the best forecaster they is and a coldie i really dont understand why they took him off tv and kept peter yawn gibbs on

[johnholmes]

As an ex forecaster I agree to a point and chiefly about Rob. He was a one off, a bit like Ian Mac was. As to Peter Gibbs, he is perhaps the best presenter to the public in my opinion but each to his own preference.

'Oh and then there's Monday still to come. ahaha' Absolute legend!

I've never been a big fan of his, but that video cracks me up big time!

i like this guy you have to admire someone who actually likes his job,maybe too many pretty faces these days who are there for their looks pushed him to one side

[Mesosphere]

Utter legend and a true cold lover. Don't get many coldies on the BBC now sadly miss his forecasts

I like Peter Gibbs

He has hardly changed in appearance! This was Peter back in November 1998!

Thats the BBC for you.

The best weather forecasters have gone as far as I`m concerned.

Autumn has broken through! Looking at Rob McElwee forecasts over the years, his eccentricity seems to have increased over the years.

I like to see Daniel Corbett to return doing forecast for the BBC. I remember hes quite a legend for saying: ''Thats the weather for now'' at the end of every forecasts. Hes quite a joker too.

He definitely has aged in the last 10 or so years, here he is back in December 1998

Maybe to you, I think he aged just a little bit since 1998. I can tell by looking at his face.

Maybe you just referred to his hairstyle. Hes got darker hair in 1998 and his hair gone bit greyer couple of years ago.

Oops....can anyone spot Rob McElwee's mistake?

[Weather-history]

He's mad I tell you!

"Time for weather, ain't that clever".

Rob labeled London as Enfield.

Rob labeled London as Enfield.

He wasn't wearing a watch...check out the end of his forecast

Must admit I liked his style..and that and then there's Monday made me lol a lot!
