I interviewed Bill Giles, the (now retired) head weather forecaster at the BBC for an article in T3 magazineAfter the official business was done, I asked on the sly about Michael Fish's infamous blue-screen gaffe when the weather map behind him filled up with a sequence of randomly sized and oriented arrows, live on air.
"Oh, that" said Giles with disgust. 'He was a stupid cunt, didn't program the display properly".
When I picked my jaw up from the floor, I promised that was an 'off the record' quote which I would not repeat in the article.
