Auntie showing her age?

As an addendum to yesterday's post I have to say how disappointed I was with the BBC's coverage of the Royal Flotilla on Sunday.  If there's one word which you normally associate with the BBC when it comes to big events like this it is "professionalism", but the phrase which kept popping into my mind as I watched the three-hour or so programme was - how amateurish.  Whether there is any connection with cuts to funding, or decentralisation to Salford I don't know, but how I longed for someone like Richard Dimbleby or Raymond Baxter to bring some sense of order and decorum to the proceedings.
