Daniel Corbett
He's not that famous and I don't hate him really, but anyway.

Some of you may recognise him from the weather bulletins on the BBC news. I've only seen him on the 6 o'clock ones but I'm sure he's on others. The reason for my dislike? He's terrifying. He looks like he's plotting to eat the news readers flesh. And that grin...if it got any wider it'd cause his head to hinge in a very alarming fashion.

I'm half convinced that one day, when I'm watching the weather, he'll break off and talk directly to me via the camera. "In the south-west, there will be mild precipitation and I'm watching you James. I can see you. I'm coming to get you. But with a dry night, overall."



That's him. I'm sure he's a nice chap, really. But he scares me.

I think it must be BBC weathermen in general;

He's also a shameless habitual liar
just like all weather forecasters.

Tinkerbell weather
Did you ever see the clip from Armando Ianucci's Time Trumpet called "Daniel Corbett's Tinkerbell Weather"? Here's a link - start at 5 mins 10 seconds.

Oh Shit.
I have gazed upon his visage and now he knows who I am and where I live. He'll be coming for my soul anytime soon.


Seriously, nobody who looks that much like a nunstabbing loon should be on my tellybox.

oh my...
its evil puppet man. i didnt know he had a proper name.

He's either got a fucking enormous head,
or a tiny weedy body.
His hand gestures are freaky too.

Now I know I'm not alone
I've also wondered about Mr. Corbett. Slightly camp delivery, but not quite gay? Strange physical proportions? Weird body language?

Yup, he's one of David Icke's lizard people!

Brilliant
One of my favourites so far. Quirky, not vitriolic, although you lose points for there being at least some rational behind it. And absolutely no need to resort to meaningless cursing. Have a click sir.
