BBC News Special: The Big Freeze
Snow moves South, so BBC has an idea…a BBC News Special!
No matter how affected you have been by the snow, I am sure you have been tuning into the radio or the television. Maybe it was to find out if the school was closed, whether the roads were iced up or just out of general curiosity. We all do it. Then in the evening we see the 6 O’clock news for a bit more, then again at 10 O’clock.
If you are that interested you can get a constant loop of news on BBC News or Sky. If you are obsessed there is always the internet with such things as Twitter and Facebook.
Whichever way you choose, you know about every flake of snow. So who made the decision to run a BBC News Special: The Big Freeze on BBC 1 at 8pm? If a nuclear bomb had gone off or the moon had disappeared I could understand it. But Snow?? Snow that we are fully aware off. I have watched the news so much I know every snow laden roundabout in Basingstoke! Hang on , Breaking news, frozen points on the railway lines in Scotland.
Is this what they call Public Service Broadcasting? I call it a cock up of the evening schedule and a complete waste of time, oh, and my money!
The only conciliation is that it is presented by Sophie Raworth. Lovely girl but a bit like a sugar cube trying to mask the taste of the polio vaccine.
How stupid! The North and Scotland has been under snow for the last 3 weeks!
The only Big Freeze the BBC needs to focus on is in respect to executive pay and expenses.
P.S. If you missed the programme, don’t worry it will be available on BBC iplayer for the next seven days.
