For those that like a 'fix' of CF, it is back on BBC1 after the
Olympics, and at 1130 BUT note that according to the 'Radio Times', it
is an *hour* in length - so the weather may well come nearer 1220-ish.

They bang the drum for global warmers something rotten on that prohgram
but spent precious little time with real country files/issues such as
the tragic weather we are having at the moment.

It's not that bad, we'll still get our very modest acreage in, besides,
would farmers pay back aid given now when times are good? I doubt it - a
lot! What's more CF was set up to replace a farming prog....

What gets me is the weekly hide and seek the BBC play with the farming
forecast. Why? Does someone in the scheduling dept get some kind of
gratification from doing it :O

What is more puzzling is that a week ahead forecast is what people actually
want. It should be on as a separate 5 minute program on Sunday night at 7 pm
on beeb 1.

Who would not like to know what the weather has in store for the week
ahead - its not just farmers surely?

The "scheduling department" have nothing to do with it. It's up to the
Countryfile production team who supply two parts of a programme to
transmission who insert the weather forecast live in between the parts
supplied.

Its not, there are some pretty good weather progs on, WeatherView if
you can find it...

Trouble is with a week ahead the great unwashed wouldn't understand
that any forecast more than 3 or 4 days into the future is not much
more than a "best guess". And they certianly wouldn't find much if any
of the "techincal" stuff interesting, all they want to know is will it
rain in town on the coming saturday afternoon (6 days hence).

So who is responsible for the bolloxed-up weatherview schedule or total
complete and utter lack thereof?

Some pansy with a waxy skin and a big showfur drivvel car.

(I hate the buggers there too! Have you seen what they will do with your
material if you post any of it on their site? Totally unethical.)
