New Meridian, BBC South & South East Thread

Could you imagine him being on the weather. "It's nice weather to SWING YOUR PANTS!"

Lol! It would be far more entertaining to watch though with THAT Simon doing the weather

Can't spell Gemma's surname right also....

How old is Parkin ?

I'm not sure how old he is, but according to this:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/somerset/local_radio/presenters_and_reporters/simon_parkin_feature.shtml
He lives in Somerset & has a show on BBC Radio Somerset on Saturday's! That a bit of a jaunt to Whiteley each day...

Late 30's I guess. He just irritates me... gone from the best to the worse IMO. Don't good looks mean anything anymore or is that not PC ?!

Well you found out yourself that Gemma's moved on, so it's the end of an era for her at Meridian I'm afraid.

Fred not to your taste then?

Yeah ha ha... just that the old 'team' really seemed like they were such good mates now it's all a bit staged, acted etc, anyway in a few years apparently all regional news will go for good

Now apparently there was a very small earth tremor in the East Kent region this afternoon.. it'll be interesting to see how or if that is covered on Meridian Tonight.

And for the record, I didn't feel a thing and it doesn't measure up to the April 2007 quake.

'We don't do duvets'!

I saw they reported it on the South (??) version on the late bulletin. 2.8 which is not a lot. Who was the presenter btw not seen her before...quickly grabbed the remote when swing your pants 'Hello there' came on

I think they put the wrong regions news on in each region on lasts nights bulletin... but showed the correct weather forecast...
