I think that desk on GMB could do with being a few meters longer. I like the desk Anne Diamond and Jeremy Vine use every morning over on the other channel. It’s quite long and very spectacular.
The GMB desk feels as though it’s been crunched up deliberately. Was the original desk longer?
Yes. The original desk was oversized, I think deliberately as part of the US TV influence.
Can't see much wrong with it myself, apart from Ben's cheesy line about setting the alarm. Seems pretty clear explaining the show and who's hosting it. But I'm a humble viewer and not a marketer.
I can't remember this happening before, but this morning Richard interviewed a guest in the Weather area of the studio. (For context, Richard and Kate interviewed two people with cystic fibrosis, and due to their condition, cannot be too close to each-other. Kate interviewed the second person from the screens the other end of the studio.)
