Not really relevant to a British audience. Adele is and I do think given some of the **** news in recent times actually shaking up the running order and starting with something trivial from time to time isn't the worst thing.

Viewing figures for individual news regions are higher than GMB. Time to axe it?

Have an Itv News branded bulletin at 6-7 - then daytime repeats and start Lorraine at 8 - Kyle at 9 - This Morning from 10

I don't like Breakfast nor Sunrise. Considering how obsessed I am about the news, an hour-long bulletin from the studios of ITN wouldn't cut it for me, considering that I often have BBC News Channel, Sky News, BBC Radio 5 Live or News Radio UK on in the background.


I'll give credit to GMB for having more actual content than Sunrise currently. Sunrise has become a loop of news and inane newspaper reviews with the same pool of reviewers. Without Eamonn Holmes to anchor it, it's shown how low budget Sky's breakfast show is.

Breakfast on the other hand manages to target the newsy and GMB's target audience well, despite Piers giving GMB a reason to tune in, there will be those who can't stand him and would rather watch the solid team over on the Beeb.

How about more than 100,000 Californians evacuated as dam threatens to fail?


Personally I'd have led with the Baftas however if it's a choice between Adele and the evacuations in America, I'd rather Adele. As serious a story as it may be in the States it isn't relevant enough for a UK audience for it to be a lead story, in my eyes.

A rating of 642k (18.5%) for yesterdays programme. Pretty good rating and share for half term!

Although, it's not half term everywhere, many areas are next week

Adele is overrated and could be good for entertainment news only. The Dam in America is a serious issue. Imagine if the poor people weren't evacuated in time it would be a number one world wide top story.

GMB is excellent with Piers and Susannah. Good with Ben and Kate and this week Charlotte with Kate has shown professionalism.

I too would like to see Mark Austin on the programme. There are still two more weeks of half term so you never know.

I don't think we need to change GMB too much other because when something serious happens they give that story the full attention.

Personal taste is irrelevant - she's one of the biggest stars in the world.

They were, therefore it wasn't.

I think the whole team work well, nice to see the pairings this week of Kate & Charlotte and now our Ranvir as well.

I for one have stuck with it and now find it has the right mix of newsey and fluff that, let's face it some days it needs to send you on way with a bit of smile on your face for work

You are spot on and this was proven by the tragedy in Berlin when they ended with Bradley Walsh showing something light hearted; after such a tragic news story.
