BBC South has had two nights of special reports following a group from Oxford taking aid to and supporting people in the migrant camp ('Jungle') at Calais. There is a well-trodden narrative to all these 'reports' and woe-betide anyone who deviates from it. This, with bells on. |

I always describe Bushell as rather 'juvenile'which could lead to a promising career
in the BBC programme CBeebies. More likely the newsroom,its getting that poor now.CBeebies is far more interesting . |

Mike Bushell getting absolutely dwarfed by a jockey right now.

Bushell following in the equally tiny footsteps of another plank of the highest order, Chris Hollins.

I learned today that a small soft toy has gone missing after being sent up attached to a balloon.
I'm a sucker for punishment. |

 You prompted me to look up some of his jokes. |

What really has started to annoy me are the incessant use of visual metaphor within reports.
Sport is perhaps the worst for it but it occurs in everything now like it's seen as something prophetic. Golfer is leading but starts to fall off the lead.....report says he started to 'plunge' (just as golf ball plops into water) Golfer's chance of lead 'veers off course' (just a put is missed) Today they were talking about second homes in st.Ives reporter says 'that bird has flown' (just as bird takes off)  |

Dusty don't get me started down that cul-de-sac.
The meaningless visuals in any news programme defy belief. Robert Peston is trying to communicate in that spazz-automaton way he has, something about the lack of credit headroom in the British economy - and some junior producer that hasn't quite got the bad acid he consumed at Glastonbury, out of his system, sees fit to illustrate this with an overhead drone shot of a Ferris Wheel or some paintbrushes. |

yeah I've noticed this.
Recently they had an item about something or other where the metaphor was 'standing at the crossroads.' Possibly the EU and which direction the country could take. They duly sent out the reporter to a remote area with a crossroads where he stood and delivered his piece. |

Put on an episode of 'Brasseye' and I defy anyone to tell the difference

Credit where it's due; Nugent on good form so far this morning. Nice bit of ad-libbing banter reviewing the papers with Stait.
If she's been reading this thread and trying to wangle herself into my boudoir she's on the right track.  |

Constant dumbing down as suggested by the crossroads comment,puerile and juvenile production to make comment more interesting ??

Classic this morning with that pillock Bushell saying he hoped we all listened to the Liverpool game on the radio and then the other daft sports presenter bird saying that she'd gone to bed then started getting texts saying you've got to switch on the radio and listen to the football. Clearly if you work for the beeb you aren't allowed to own or watch a tv although if you're relying on them for live sport you are essentially stuffed
