I doubt the Met Office will have a change of heart in all honesty, this will happen and i am assuming it will happen this month sometime, it will be a sad lost too see these forecasters being off our screens but we have too move on sadly.

I doubt it too, hence "hopefully."

Could you not send your email to the met, after all it's them that are taking them away?

I sent an e-mail to the Met Office as well. I got a copy and paste jobby back.

Nobody is listening on this one I'm afraid. If the BBC and the Met Office wish to shoot themselves in the feet then I suppose we better let them get on with it. Shame for Rob though who will be greatly missed.

I would like to express my dismay that the BBC are thinking of axing Rob McElwee. He is in my opinion one of the best weather presenters on the BBC. His forcasts are very clear and has a very friendly and warm style of presentation. He particulary brings a human touch to the forcast whether its a witty comment or just good sensible advice.....

He makes watching a weather forcast more interesting and i would urge the BBC to reconsider there decision. Without Rob's forcasts the weather will not be the same!!

Rob has always tried to be slightly unconventional in his forecasting style, avoiding the temptation to dumb down and thereby acknowledging that at least some viewers understand a bit about the science. I don't know the reason for his demise but he will be missed. If the excellent Tomas Schafernaker and Phil Avery are also on the hit list then I'm afraid it really is the beginning of the end for BBC forecasts. We will be probably left with Dan Corbett who can't seem to manage the word temperature!

Rob you will be missed!

I'll ask again as I failed to get an answer in the other thread, is there any link to prove that Rob is finished after tonight? Google provides nothing.

Thanks, just had a look. A very sad day indeed for BBC Weather forecasts.
