Rendering from the feature showing how Birmingham City's planned 62,000-capacity stadium 'will look'. An ex-rocket scientist in a stadium, clothes torn and covered in ash (1979) - some aliens are just messy eaters.

It is raining.
A 1975 BBC weather graphic for rain. Rain was different then.

[The Wildwood in the fog.]
A photograph. Nothing can be seen. It is probably a wild, wet, wood full of crows.

[It is raining]
A printed BBC Weather symbol (1975) showing a jolly cloud disgorging great gouts of rain. It is titled 'Rain' and exudes all the heartening certainty of a dismal British winter.

[Windy]
A printed BBC TV Weather symbol (1975) showing a hurtling black circle marked '30' in white attached to a broad arrow, together closely resembling fiendish explosive artillery devices and engines of the 17th century as used at sea. It is titled 'Wind speed in mph and direction'.

Rain symbol (BBC TV 1975): a three-lobed blob of cloud rows o'er the sky with oars of rain.

Hm.
An authentic scene of frontier life in the only authentic cowboy western ever made, the entirely accurate and deeply researched Blazing Saddles (1974). Men in big hats and chaps eat their beans around a campfire.

[Those 'over paid' drivers...]
BBC News live report: The driver "managed to contact the control centre at Network Rail and get the train diverted onto the slow line", Calder says. "That was absolutely crucial because this train was scheduled to be travelling through Huntingdon station on the tracks with no platform at 125mph. It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere, which would have been very difficult." Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest possible way" thanks to the "incredible professionalism from the driver and the police". Train drivers are trained on how to take appropriate action, he adds.

It is raining.
A friendly rain cloud: BBC TV Weather graphic from 1975, in best post-Yellow Submarine bulbous-whimsy style, a stylised cloud loosing two Fat-Man bomb-shaped raindrops unmenacingly. Labelled 'Rain'.

It is a bit windy.
Either a drawing of a cannonball topped by a broad arrow, which has rolled over, or a BBC TV Weather symbol from 1975 lettered 'Wind speed in mph and direction (30)'.
