Last ever traditional weather report by the BBC

As anyone who watches the BBC will know, a few years ago, they changed to a stupid new system for the weather report that said goodbye to the original symbols. This was one of the last ever weather reports using the old system, recorded at 4:30 in the morning on Monday the 16th of May, 2005...

Well you can see in more detail what weather is over you.

Other TV services still have the icons....

I miss this weather map so much the new one is disappointing I think it could have been better in my opinion

Interesting that we see a lot less of the weather for northern France and the Netherlands than we did before!

Probably going to get lots of dislikes, but i like the new weather graphics; simpler to understand though i agree it could have been better

How is it stupid??? Its far more accurate and to be honest anyone who complains that the map isnt green or that sheffiels isnt shown on the map needs to get a life.

OMG. I'm Polish and my English teacher told me to listen to some BBC weather reports to learn something. Even if i'm quite good at english, I can't understand much. She talks too fast O_o

Before the blue/green screen they had a real map drawn on rice paper and hung on the wall, and with internationaly recognised meteorogically symbols understood only by experts and teens who had paid attention in school

I remember when this was launched. My nan claimed that the new weather reporting made her feel seasick!
