I have started a petition to bring back Rob McElwee, the BBC weatherman. His forecasts were a joy, full of idiosyncratic phrases and anthropomorphic weather systems. He was cut by the BBC earlier this year, much to many people’s dismay. I know I’m not alone in this – there’s even an appreciation page on Facebook, as well as a page calling for his reinstatement.
If you are a fan of intelligent TV, please sign my petition. When I have enough signatures I’ll be contacting the BBC directly.

The survey garnered a grand total of 30 signatures. A bit of a pathetic number to bother the BBC with, so I’m afraid this campaign has gone the way of Rob’s television career.
