Gertrude,
What really sticks in my mind about "the night of the storm" is the fact that Fishie went out of his way to categorically deny the possibility of the storm occuring and even to half jokingly mention the lady who telephoned to predict a "hurricane"!
Not mentioning it is one thing but to say that it will definitely not happen is a little different.
Don't get me wrong, we all make mistakes in our professional lives, MF was just unlucky that his was recorded for posterity and is replayed very frequently on "TV's greatest ballsups programmes".

PS
you didn't happen to be a beardy balding weather forecaster called Michael Fish in a previous life did you?
