Weatherman Goes Viral After Enthusiastically Drumming Along To The BBC News Theme

Weatherman Goes Viral After Enthusiastically Drumming Along To The BBC News Theme

A weatherman has recorded himself playing along to the BBC News theme music on drums moments after he broadcast a weather report from home.


BBC North West's Owain Wyn Evans shared footage of himself dashing to his drum kit after finishing his segment so he could play along to the closing music.

He tweeted:

"When they said try working from home I didn't realize they'd expect me to do the music too."

In the video, he tells viewers: 

"That's the forecast, stay safe and I'll see you soon."

In the next shot he is then playing vigorously along to the famous theme while wearing his usual dapper three-piece suit.

After the video was widely shared, Wyn Evans said: 

"We are all trying to find ways of keeping our spirits up during this difficult time of lockdown, and it is great that this has proved such a hit."
"It started out as a fun idea and has really caught on."
"The tune itself is obviously a bit of a banger anyway, and I knew it would sound brilliant on the drums."

Wyn Evans started learning the instrument when he was eight and was a semi-professional drummer before he decided to go into weather presenting.

Wyn Evans' drumming was met with amusement and praise by viewers and fellow presenters.

Channel 4 weather host Liam Dutton responded: 

"This is ace!"

And one social media user commented: 

"They need to replace the usual music with your performance permanently."
"That was fantastic!"

The internet was smitten.



Maybe we'll be seeing more of Wyn Evans' drumming skills if BBC North West has their way.

The clip has already been viewed nearly 3 million times on Twitter.

The weatherman had previously attracted attention on social media when in 2017 to mark International Drag Day he created a RuPaul's Drag Race-themed weather forecast.

All we can say is, YAS KWEEN!

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
