The weather failed to play just before 0700 so a valiant effort from Shaun Peel to fill the gap because there was nothing else they could play.

Interestingly whilst I understand they might not have a fallback graphic available - especially depending on what the technical problem was - but I'm surprised there wasn't a short read through weather summary available to hand to read from a paper script.

If I recall correctly the bulletin around 9am is the 'old-style' with the weather graphic onscreen and read out by the presenter, rather than a separate piece from a remote presenter. Shaun handled the time gap as best as he could, and didn't sound flustered by the breakdown.

Incidentally, when the breakfast weather is presented by Kate Kinsella those updates still have a 'dodgy internet' quality, though have improved a bit since the HD upgrade. By comparison when it was presented by someone else last week the quality seemed better, possibly being recorded from a different location / weather studio.
