Kaplinsky is ok - she does a good job really. (Eating my words of 2+ years ago in my first post here at TVF)

Hi folks
New to this site but for what it's worth here are my comments on Breakfast:
Bill and Sian -- just perfect (easily best team on BBC National.
Nick and Suzanne Midlands Today come second.
The team at Border are also fun as are UTV (veteran presenter Pamela Ballantyne looks great 25 years on...)
Susanna Reid - lovely - stylish, composed, fun.... perfect!
Dermot - like him as well - but a bit too formal. Bill was a slow starter but now has dropped some of his earlier pomposity and got it down to a fine art and doesn't take himself too seriously, with his talk about bees and dancing and he obviously has a rapport with Sian.
Kate - excellent as well. She demolishes some of them in her interviews.
Declan - no nonsense but excellent. Carol on the weather - perfectissimo. What a lovely Scottish lassie!

Shame I didn't see that, at the time I was stuck in a barber's shop where the only thing on the television was GMTV, who spent those last thirty odd minutes running pointless text votes and competitions, with constant reminders of what's on Coronation Street and Emmerdale bleeding Farm tonight.

So good to see Breakfast taking advantage of the good weather. Broadcasting from the garden at 9am. Super stuff

That's GMTV for you. When they do competitions, rather than putting "Calls cost £1.30", they put "Calls cost 60p per minute. Calls usually last around 130 seconds." This is obviously for their less intelligent viewers who aren't that good at maths.

Breakfast excelled themselves this morning, claiming "breaking news in the last few moments" at 7am for "reports that Prince William and Kate Middleton have split up". I guess nobody in the newsroom picked up their copy of The Sun until 6.58 then.
Anybody have any thoughts on the scheduling of StoryFix, presented by Louise Minchin in Breakfast, presented by the same? The juxtaposition of the serious vs satirical seemed a little uneasy for me.

I think this was a bit wrong of the BBC not only did they call it breaking news it was their lead story all morning but another story was of a suicide car bomb attack. surely that should have been the lead.
