Good Morning Britain

At the risk of turning into Sybil Fawlty:

The new credenza isn’t a credenza.

From what I’ve seen over on TV Live, I like this refreshed look. Kudos to ITV for making a decent effort to bring the studio fixtures up to a safe standard for the permanent haul ahead.

Of course, it won’t be to everyone’s taste, but that’s fine. No revamp or refresh will ever suit everyone.

In classic TVF style, some members who complained about the vastness of the new desk (when previewed) are also the same members who (many pages back) complained about the artificial blended image making Piers and Susanna appear to sit very close to each other!

There’s just no pleasing some folk.

I say, well done ITV.

In edit: agree 100% with Mark’s post immediately above. 👍

POST. OF. THE. CENTURY.

No. That was a different Dick.

Revivals

First Sex and the City. Now Frasier. I was never much a fan of the latter, but did enjoy the former.

As we possibly learned from Will & Grace, revivals don’t always work perfectly well and are sometimes best left in the past.

I also hear some mutterings of a Rab C. Nesbitt revival. Although, given the recent developments on the writer front, not sure how that would work. Plus Tony Roper is nudging 80.

BOAF has possibly seen its last days, in view of very recent disclosures.

The question: can you name any revived show that was as big a hit or a bigger hit than it’s original outing?

I can only think of AbFab being even more popular in later life after being rested for years. And possibly Still Game.

BBC ‘Newsreader’ Sacked On-Air

Yes, please. Does it pay well?

The Sky News Thread

I’d imagine Sunrise (or whatever the show is called by then). IIRC, Sky News “refreshes” were always rolled out with the first programme of the day.

In actual fact, it could well be The Early Rundown if it’s still around.

CNN International & Domestic

The aircraft would lurch violently to one side, alerting the pilots of a missing engine (until recently, the physical detachment of an engine was not alerted by any alarm in the cockpit. The aerodynamic behaviour of the aircraft would be the pilots’ first indication of a problem).

They would control the aircraft using the flight control surfaces with heavier rudder inputs to compensate for the single remaining engine on one side, which would - logically - attempt to make the aircraft turn in the air. Hard rudder in the opposite direction will bring the aircraft back on course.

Well, you did ask.............

This thread: peak TVF. It’s like an episode of Two Doors Down. Award winning. The speculation, drama and scope of story/thread-creep is bordering on pure comedy, despite the rather serious thread topic.

From the sublime to the ridiculous. We should all win a BAFTA for this coverage. In fact, this is the only place currently covering the DoE story! It has slipped out of view on all other news websites.

I hope I’m not tempting fate......

The Sky News Thread

And - again - that is precisely why Kay isn’t on-air these days. She’s given the Ministers a bullseye target for such deflection.

The Sky News Thread

Precisely proving the point that the position of some inquisitors would be untenable under the current circumstances. Giving Hancock and Co an easy exit each and every time.

CNN International & Domestic

Rather incredible footage. And, for once, totally acceptable to have a round of applause upon landing.
