I live in London, so I don't usually get to see South Today -- but I must say, tonight's 1830 bulletin was an excellent programme.

Well thought-out, with a nice, casual (and not-too-preachy) tone, some interesting features, and excellent use of a range of presentation elements (including some very old-school weather pres!) to highlight various aspects of carbon consumption and the impact of climate change. Using the production of the programme itself to raise awareness and improve understanding of an important topic was, I think, a splendid idea, very nicely executed.

In my opinion, a really lovely job by the South Today team.

From looking at the screenshots it looks similar to what Look East did a few years ago, ref www.bbc.co.uk .

These special programmes are good, though it could be argued that they are to an extent are greenwashing. For what it's worth there's an article on last night's episode at www.bbc.co.uk .
