TV Weather Forecaster retires
BRITAIN'S longest-serving TV weatherman Michael Fish retires today after 30 years.
Michael Fish's broadcasting career began in 1971 when he started forecasting for BBC Radio and in January 1974 he became part of BBC Television's weather team.
I think Mr Fish is a star!.. all through my childhood he read the forecast and up to recently when I can really appreciate his skills as perhaps one of the best TV weather persons out there.
The moustachioed presenter is best known for his notorious gaffe ahead of the Great Storm of 1987 – the worst in 300 years.
In the infamous broadcast the weatherman told viewers: "Earlier on today apparently a lady rang the BBC and said she heard that there was a hurricane on the way. Well, don’t worry if you’re watching, there isn’t."
