The BBC seem to have totally lost the plot. The coverage of the Thames boat parade was dismal. In stead of the usual excellent BBC coveraqe with learned commentary we were subjected to a cacophany of third rate celebrities who had obvously done no homework, waffling on about nothing in particular. The production side made sure we saw little of the boats as they preferred to show other rubbish instead. And to top it all the "wonderful quality digital TV" just could not handle it, with constant drop out of sound and vision. The BBC had over 500 technicians covering this Jubilee and they cound't manage to keep a microphone working the the broadcast.
