This Morning, Ruth & Eamon

Moody Blue · 29/08/13 - 15:53

Really going to miss these two. They make me giggle and I really think they should present the show full time.

I'm not looking forward to Phil & Holly's return at all

Anyone else agree?

Pamthehound · 29/08/13 - 15:54

Agree , but love Holly, hate that smug little arsehole Schofield

Sandgrownun · 29/08/13 - 15:58

I agree. I used to like Phillip Schofield when he presented with Fern, but since she left he's become very smug and annoying. Holly's okay, but it's much better with Ruth and Eamonn.

You're certainly not alone OP. There's been 2 or 3 threads basically saying the same thing. Ruth is head and shoulders above any of the others for her professionalism and the banter between her and Eamonn is natural and unforced. Pip needs to be put out to pasture permanently and Holly is only average at best. I can't see her staying on TM for much longer whatever happens.

JamieHT · 29/08/13 - 16:11

I've really enjoyed this Summer. Will stop watching when the other two are back.

Eamon was a bit of a cutie when he started his TV career at Ulster Television 34 years ago (and in the days before newscasters relied fully on autocue):

This is him aged 20/ 21 presenting the main tea-time news bulletin:

UTV News a bit short on visuals in those days

Two threads currently running on same topic. Please merge mods.

Moody Blue · 30/08/13 - 18:28

Did anyone else get the impression that Eamonn and Ruth would love the job full time? It certainly looked like it to me when they ended today's program

turquoiseblue · 30/08/13 - 18:32

Sorry, but I just can't watch this show these days. I used to watch at one time but it's just not my cup of tea anymore. It just seems so patronising, full of C list "celebs" and brimming with non-stories.

hilduffluva · 30/08/13 - 18:33

I know this is a bit OT but did anyone catch Rochelle & Marvin hosting the other week! I really enjoyed it! :P

But yeah i am going to miss them

catkins198 · 30/08/13 - 19:32

Normally I don't watch it but I caught a bit of it a couple of weeks ago with Ruth and Eamon and have watched it almost every day since.

I think they are great. I love the banter between them and they have made me laugh quite a lot.

I think they should present all the time and if they did I would watch it a lot more. I don't like Holly at all so won't watch while she presents

Couldn't agree more!

No doubt on Monday it'll be like the return of the heroes (:rolleyes:) but give me Ruth and Eamonn any day. They're much better presenters all round.

[Deleted User] · 30/08/13 - 21:06

I love Ruth & Eamonn! They are brilliant together & it's great to see. I used to love phil & holly but now I just like them. Mainly due to to the change in Phil, he loves the sound of his own voice and I can't help but notice this 'I am the show' attitude, especially when he talks out loud to producers saying he's doing something different than planned or he arranges guests coming on! No doubt on Monday it'll be 'we're back!!!!' Which I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the 'I no uve had to put up with them for 7 weeks, but worry no more' tone. I still find them funny sometimes to my annoyance, but I think a good balance would be for the 4 of them to share the presenting duties, maybe 3 days one week and 2 another?

Ruth is much more professional, knows her facts & can steer an interview really well. Eamonn occasionally annoys me talking over ruth but other than that I think he is brilliantly funny and thankfully his down to earth-ness matches his success!

pothuthic · 30/08/13 - 21:12

Same, Ruth and Eamonn give it a homely feel and make the show much better

Itv seem to think the casual viewer prefers Holly and Phillip

China Girl · 30/08/13 - 21:17

Ruth and Eamonn are the best, I liked when Eamonn once said that he enjoys a crisp sandwich, so do I.

timebug · 30/08/13 - 23:15

Ruth is very professional;why she married Mr Blobby is anyones guess.If he is not talking about football and especially his beloved Man Utd he seems permanently bored.

I have really warmed to these two but agree with the BIB and feel that sometimes he says some really hurtful things to Ruth. She is very professional and looks as if she is not too bothered, yet her eyes look sad :mad:

AoibheannRose · 31/08/13 - 00:28

Ah he's only teasing her, and Ruth clearly takes it all in good humour and often gives as good as she gets. I really enjoy watch them on screen together, they seem to have a very affectionate and loving relationship and do a great job of presenting the show too. They really made me laugh with the cooking competition between them on Wednesday. Give me them over the other two any day!

Agree with you, they seem to have a fantastic relationship and Wednesday really made me laugh too

[Deleted User] · 04/09/13 - 00:37

I agree with the above 2 comments, she really does love his humour & finds him funny even when he's insulting her. Such a lovely relationship to watch!

footygirl · 04/09/13 - 00:52

But Ruth and Eamonn are very good journalists as well - maybe that is the difference

I wonder when ITV will get the hint and give Mon-Thu to Eamonn and Ruth and Fri to the other two waste-of-spacers :mad:
Schofe will still get his earnings from Mr & Mrs and The Cube. Willoughby doesn't need the work...;)

Your guess is as good as mine

Moody Blue · 04/09/13 - 14:42

I'm really not enjoying the show this week. Holly's voice has gone hoarse (again) and she's already making mistakes. Maybe they are rusty after their break, or maybe I'm now looking for things.

Or maybe I have got used to professionalism over the last few weeks :cool:

I tuned in Monday morning , there was holly in a short flowery dress and mahogany legs , the tone was serious, informing us they were interviewing Lee Rigbys parents later - but the visual was all wrong , watched TM Monday but not since

Hey there!
