Ben Shephard on an election team. Yet another reason why I won't be tuning into GMB next week.

It could, of course, have been journalistic colossus Aled Jones.

She's good at what she does, but Lorraine shouldn't be in an election promo either.

There's no clock and ticker again in some SD regions (Granada certainly), however HD is showing all graphics.

All back at TOTH. I noticed the backup feed briefly appeared at the end of the last story in the TOTH sequence.

ITV has just broadcast a GMB post election promo. Individual presenters as per previous page but on a white background, before revealling all in a row.

Edit: 6-9:30 not 6-9:25


Aired again after tonights News At Ten. I wasn't able to catch it in HD but you can still watch it below:

There's something very creepy about that advert!



The end composition doesn't work because of inconsistencies in the way the component parts were shot. It's not so disconcerting that they're lit differently but if you don't get the perspective right it freaks out the human brain. For example, compare the size of Ben's head with Tom's despite the fact they're placed level in the line up, similarly Lorraine is placed behind Tom, yet her head appears much bigger than his.

Or maybe it's just Sue's red jacket that's creeping you out!

Are we sure that isn't a spoof? It's horrific on so many levels...

That's pretty bad. The main thing that strikes me about it is the focus on presenters, and not on the results service which is surely the main reason why you would choose one channel over another.

Bank holiday Monday and the program starts at 7am with Ben, Kate and Ranvir

Kate and Ranvir always end up doing Bank Holidays and holidays (summer/Christmas). Susanna seems to basically work Monday-Thursday on school weeks (a la Lorraine). Cushy.

all new Phil
Yeah cushy. And what time do you have to be up for work, may I ask?
DW
DavidWhitfield
A slightly unnecessarily rudely worded question, 'all new Phil', but one I'm more than happy to answer. Generally, around 6:00am. A good three hours later than Susanna as I begin my working day around three hours later than her. I don't think what time she wakes up is relevant to this thread, though, (and what time I wake up is even less so), as I commented on the number of days she works, not the hours she does on the days she does work.
