Why do they bother having debates on This Morning?

Holly and Phillip really are awful!!
They were having a debate about parenting and from the start they were siding with the woman debater?! What's the point? Obviously they're trying to pander to their supposed viewership but whatever happened to an impartial presenter?!

Quite agree - watched their first day back and switched it off and won't bother again Eamonn and Ruth made it a much better programme but the quality of guests over the summer was dreadful.
They could save it by replacing the main presenters and half of the regulars. It's become too much of a clique. The new theme tune is awful as well. Sounds like a child did it on their keyboard.
Think of the amount of publicity the show got (by proxy) when Katie Hopkins did her "children who are called Tyler are scumbags" routine. Even more so when Pip threw a list of ALLEGED!!!1 paedophile MP's at David Cameron.
If you took out the debates, it'd be two hours of competitions, cookery bits and soap gossip.
I'm not asking them to lose the debates. I'm saying Holly and Phil should take a leaf out of Ruth and Eamonn's book and be more impartial!
I'm surprised the show was kept going after this and Schofield kept his job. I can remember in the seventies when Bill Grundy goaded the Sex Pistols into swearing and he was suspended and then sacked by Thames.
Basically ITV between 6 and 1.30 is dreadful.
It just goes to show how powerful Philip is at ITV that he kept his job, it was disgraceful behaviour :rolleyes:
Oh I agree. I like debates which are handled properly by the presenters (I.e. not Holly and Phillip).
Yeah, Ruth and Eammon are far more polished. Schofield is seriously irritating.
I see Katie Hopkins has said on twitter that she is on TM again on Tuesday morning- I thought they said she was never allowed back ???
I just might watch to see the fiasco that will be Katie Hopkins shouting down whoever is there to put forward the argument that is opposite to her own :rolleyes:
Wow - can't wait for those. :eek::eek::eek:
Holly Willoughby also touted to be the saviour of Loose Women with a golden handcuff deal to ITV.
Thank goodness I will have something better to do in a warmer climate.
As for why Katie Hopkins appears on This Morning, Kevin O'Sullivan explains it rather well ...
Too right, it's the kind of show for women who can't be bothered to do something else and are quite happy to sit in front of this rubbish every day. It's the same with Lorraine, who refers to " us women", all the time as she prattles on about soaps, reality shows and zelebs.
A far better show is The Wright Stuff on Channel 5, which has far more interesting features and guests and isn't so " female". One feature they did have, which is far more relevant to women in real life than last night's Crap Factor, was the singer Lynsey de Paul discussing women's self defence and why women should learn martial arts. It's a shame This Morning doesn't have things like this.
Lucky you, unfortunately I've taken early retirement and so am stuck with it! :eek:
So did I and always watched in the days of Fern Britton but can't watch it any more.
We will be here for a few more weeks yet but will not be watching ITV morning dross.
I can't stand the debates though no matter who's presenting though. It always seems that one of the people they get on to take part in this debate is a massive d*******.
