What do you think? Have ITV made a mistake in replacing GMTV with Daybreak?

No... GMTV was dire....anything has got to be better than that!.....
You would think so, wouldn't you? It isn't though!
So, I think they have made a mistake.
GMTV was quite friendly but too low end, also too many pseudo competitions. But it could have been fixed and made into a fun 'n friendly breakfast show.
They give us a rubbish show, cut the budget for other stuff and pay for this instead!:(

Ooooh, that sounds impressive. Haven't really noticed it yet though, the screens are doing a great job of brightening things up during the early hours (although not particularly liking all the samey yellow flowers,).
Would you rather have the GMTV scenery (as opposed to scene) then?
I'd rather they axed this rubbish altogether
Probably about £100 a week
But there are times that backdrop looks like the Grand Canal in Venice. I love it. All they need to concentrate on is sharpening up the programme.
lol...i think if they got rid of the presenters and I include them all it would go a long way to making it watchable!
I don't know who but his miserable face and her accent(I can't understand a word) makes it impossible for me to try at that time in the morning.
I can't believe i'm saying this but BBC set is easier on the eye and the presenting is quieter and calmer in the morning Some would say boring i'm sure..my opinion of course.:)
2.Set local news times at 6.45 7.15 7.45 8.15
3.More news content.Typical half Hour 6.30 News 6.40 Sport 6.42 papers 6.45 local 6.50 News story 6.53 Business or Consumer feature 6.57 Weather
4.Get rid of Kate Garraway and Ross King
5.Bring back Claire Nasir when the ugly one’s Baby drops
6.No competitions
7.Limit entertainment stories (unless a major story limit to Fri, Sat, Sun shows)
8.Viewer interaction such as News poll or ticker where you can text a comment or message
9.No ads between 6.00 and 7.30. Load more between 7.30 and 9.25
10.Consider AC & CB doing a pre recorded 7pm show to go head to head with the Beeb This could be used to give extra content to the morning show and preview the next days show.
The thing with Adrian Chiles is that he is what he is. An example: they had this interview with Julia Roberts on yesterday in which she was going on about her love for her husband or partner, whatever he is, and after it Adrian made no secret of the fact he found it all a bit nauseating to much guffawing from the studio team.
I do think Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams are a hard pairing to beat though, they're a very natural, inoffensive couple that are always a delight to watch (although are a bit of a tv equivalent of musak now I think about it, hmmmm).
That pink shirt this morning was a big mistake though.
The interview with Julia Roberts on BBC was actually quite funny when she spoke about the yoga/trousers bit..you could almost see the red face..lol
It seemed more relaxed..which i like..:)
Agree about the shirt though..lol
Never forget the Heather Mills rubbish..
Agree with most except for AC/CB...they make me switch over i'm afraid!..lol
I still can't erase from my mind how the monumentally awful Fiona Phillips used to fawn over Blair & Brown, licking their
a*ses unashamedly, whilst I was trying to enjoy my coco pops in the morning. Gordon Brown's ego, enjoying the public licking so much, offered her a job in his failed GOAT idea (Government of all the talents) as chief brown noser (how apt)......she declined and is now flogging face cream on the telly box. Now, whatever did happen to dear old Mr Brown!!
Coco Pops!!:eek::D
It's like a Doctor Who regeneration.
It looks different on the outside but underneath it's the same old crap.
That fills me with such a warm feeling. To think that...thing...could've played a role in government which directly affected my life. Wow.
It would though! The One Show is a magazine-type programme (in other words it comprises of a varied range of items and features) and so is Daybreak!! What did you expect - Top of the Pops? :rolleyes:
Anyway, there's probably an American model of this somewhere that this has derived from. I was watching an old interview with the late actor Jon-Erik Hexum last night from 1983 or 1984 where he was on an American breakfast programme in an orange studio with bricks in the background remarkably similar to that used by TV-am (and how it would later look). We just soak up everything that starts in America first.
