Am I the only person who thinks that the weather is a ridiculous programme? Isn't it essentially just people guessing what might happen, and then presenting it as if it's proven fact despite being proven wrong on countless occasions? I'm sure that news programmes could make a half decent attempt at putting together a programme that predicted tomorrow's news. It would be a more serious attempt at the Hollyoaks E4+1 concept for people that just can't wait to know what happens to the McQueen girls / Gordon Brown. So why don't they? I'll tell you why, because it would be ridiculous. Yet somehow, hearing about what may or may not happen with the weather in advance seems totally rational, but a programme where we debated and commented on what it had done today would seem more mundane and irrelevant than Kerry Katona's Whole Again (see below). At the moment, some crazy guy comes in to the middle of the screen, and talks as if he's been forward in time! 'I've seen the future! There's rain, some sleet, and then more rain!' If you've been forward in time, why didn't you fucking find useful things people needed to know? What happened with global warming? Is there going to be a recession? You've just got pages and pages of weather predictions! It's a complete nonsense. You were given the chance to play God, and you blew it Michael Fish! You pissed it all away! In Hyde Park these people get heckled daily, but under the BBC/ITV umbrella, they somehow get respect that clearly they don't deserve.
