Summary

The Great British Weather BBC1, 7.25pm THE British are obsessed with the weather. When Henry Morton Stanley met David Livingstone on the shores of Lake Tanganyika on October 27, 1871, he didn't, as legend holds, greet him with the words "Dr. Livingstone, I presume". Rather he pointed to the clouds above and said: "It just doesn't know what it's doing today, does it?".

Clearly short of ideas how to fill the summer schedules, the BBC has come up with The Great British Weather in which resident presenters Alexander Armstrong, Carol Kirkwood and Chris Hollins 'unpeel the mysterious world of British weather' with help from 'weather legend' Bill Giles.
