Unanswerable Questions (No 2)

Why do the 'reporters' on BBC Reporting Scotland insist on waving their hands about when making their reports? It is not difficult to correct - simply tie their hands behind their backs. Or, at least, give them some training. Or, if the worst comes to the worst, focus the camera on the head and shoulders.

The poor young woman who has spent the last three weeks reporting on the Sheridan case has an obvious problem, in that she apparently cannot talk without violent gesticulation. Perhaps she has been over-excited by her subject matter, but that is no excuse.
