TV Jack dies
Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), Nov 14, 2008
A COUNTY Durham-born weather forecaster has died from cancer at the age of 85.
Jack Scott, who was born in Ferryhill, was described as a 'pioneer' by the BBC, introducing the famous magnetic symbols to viewers in 1975, which could sometimes slip or fall off during broadcasts.
He also helped lay the foundations of the computerised system of forecasting used nowadays, the BBC said.
Mr Scott died on Tuesday, Armistice Day.
His family said he was helped a great deal by MacMillan Cancer Support.
