Surely it wouldn't have been too hard to film a few bits especially for the titles with Eamonn and Ruth as well as maybe some of the other show regulars such as Rylan, Alyson etc, they wouldn't have to be as flashy as the scenes with Holly and Phil, but some shots of the various people arriving at the studios, in make up, dress rehearsals, item set ups (cooking, fashion etc) rather than random non-descript shots of revolving doors, studio lights etc
I agree with Tomo that it would have been nice to have Eamonn and Ruth feature backstage preparing. The name addition on today's programme tidies the opening graphic up nicely, just a shame that it's taken them 2 years.
I quite like the ending shot being of the outside of the studio. There's something about it that reminds me of the Big Breakfast titles. Maybe that's what's missing, clips of people in the morning before a zoom towards the studio... OR a fly in with 3D version of programme related items flying past as the camera zooms in.

I think these titles look rubbish and are damaging to the brand. That is all.
Titles and stings now read as of today 'This Morning with Eamonn and Ruth'.
Looks a bit messy tweaking during the week. It gives the impression that somebody came up with the idea over the weekend and mashed some shots of back stage together and put what they had ready on air before it was finished.
