Has GMTV Made ANY Mention...

Of the fact they're finishing this morning, at least the main programme? I've been watching it for an hour or so and I don't think there's been a single mention!

Won't miss it, can't wait for it to disappear.

yeah its a bit odd....more of a whimper. thought we might get some old clips etc...

they did just mention to clair nazir that she had 5o minutes to go..but thats it

4444 · 03/09/10 - 08:44

McFly have just said something. You can always count on them.

Kayok · 03/09/10 - 08:48

I am surprised how boring it is today. I thought it would have a real sentimental, party atmosphere, but dull, dull, dull.
Packed with guests just plugging their stuff as usual.
What a total letdown. It should be wall to wall clips of old guests, laughs, c*ck-ups, and sadness.
What are the producers thinking, it will go out with a Thank God That's Over, Anything Will Be Better..

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 08:48

No mention, but the way Nigel Planer just ambled off to make way for McFly suggests everyone else has gone. Just the sofa, the two presenters, a static camera and the guests left now. The lights will go out one by one soon, as the caretaker locks up.

Yep, surely Emma Crosby could've worn something a little more revealing on her last day:(

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:05

Ah, they seem to be allowed to talk about it now ...

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:19

Less than 10 minutes to go now. Although they are talking about it, it's all so muted. I'm really quite surprised they haven't had a full-on 'memories' show.

D.M.N. · 03/09/10 - 09:20

OK, they're giving it some mention, but to be honest - not a lot. And no past nostalgic clips either or anything.

tvqueen1905 · 03/09/10 - 09:22

that was sad

Jason100 · 03/09/10 - 09:23

Was that a re-recording of the original music?

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:24

People like Andrew Castle and Richard Arnold looked genuinely upset, but errr, that was it.

Then Chiles in his pants on the ad for Daybreak. :eek:

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:25

Very disapointing ending, nothing like when TV-AM closed for the final time.

ITV have screwed this up big time.

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:25

well thats it for me...i think GMTV had the balance and gave viewers what they wanted in an early morning...very light hearted but keeping with current affairs...

I shall not even give Daybreak a chance as i'm not a fan of the presenters...off to skynews in a morning for me...:)

Nah, that was probably one of the variations used.
They probably had one with a sax lead, and another
with electric guitar lead.

Talk about obsessed...

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:27

well thats if for me...i loved the format of GMTV and the presenters...thoguht they really had the balance of light entertainment in a morning whilst keeping up with current affairs...I shall not be giving Daybreak a chance as not a fan of the presenters....so off to Skynews in a morning i go...:)

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:27

I can't believe they had to go like that - hardly any mention. No highlights package - only 3 minutes at the end!

Love the fact that they ended with the original theme tune, cutting to the remaining team hugging etc...as the camera panned away and the lights went out

Andrew was very dignified, and I actually felt quite sad

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:36

never been a big fan of GMTV, but i think it's demise has been handled awful. when the end caption appeared showing the logo and (c) date the music hadn't properly finished before the advert for Daybreak had started. where were the faces?, john stapleton, lorraine kelly, kirsty lang and past names as in ben shepherd, carla romano and penny smith, it wasn't GMTV's fault they weren't required for it's replacement. not even past faces like fiona phillips and eamonn 'does my bum look big in everything' holmes bothererd to show. guess you know who your pals are.
shame.'

Remember that GMTV is now owned by ITV so I'm guessing they probably didn't want a big farewell.

If the last show had been all nostalgic then people might say "hey that was a really good programme" which is the last thing ITV want when they're launching their new show in a few days.

[Deleted User] · 03/09/10 - 09:40

Lorraine barely showed up for GMTV, she has a cushy new job on Daybreak, so she was never going to show up for this. Stapleton has a part time Daybreak job too, plus he doesn't live in London

Penny was sacked, so I don't blame her for not coming in for what would have been a 2 minute appearance

Clearly GMTV was going to go quietly, otherwise I think a lot of the faces would have come back - look at the posse who turned out for Penny's last show

Andrew mentioned in a magazine that there's a leaving do at the weekend, so i'm guessing everyone will be there then

Out of interest, if you dislike it so much, why were you watching it? Just to see if they made any mention of the fact it was finishing? What were you hoping to witness?

I agree, as a viewer since day 1 I feel cheated.

They have done nothing to try and convert any viewer to watch Daybreak on Monday.

I would have had many old GMTV faces on the show all week and had Adrian and his Bitch promoting the new show on the GMTV sofa today.

Dare I say it, ITV should of done something similar to Heart this week saying that Daybreak is coming when going to the ad's.

ITV have lost the plot.

I've got this weird thing about breakfast television. Have to watch all the openings and closings.

I'm the same.

At the end of the day TV history happened 25 minutes ago and I wanted to see it.
