I do like Charlie Stayt. He's not as pompous as the other three and seems more human and down to Earth. He, along with Carol, are the two remaining greats from a period when Breakfast was far more watchable with Bill, Sian, Susanna, even Dermot as main presenters, with Declan on business, Chris Hollins on sport and Moira at the news desk. Those were the days...
I’m not sure you can include Chris Hollins in that list, he used to build his part
Yes, Chris Hollins was rather smug and if I'm not mistaken, was the first of the sports presenters to start the annoying 'cosy chats' with the main presenters that persist to the present day. Before Chris, I seem to recall sport mostly being presented by Rob Bonnet and he was far more serious/reserved. I'd rather that than the way they now try to spin it out with banal chatter. At least the chatter on Good Morning Britain is natural, entertaining and sometimes controversial. On Breakfast it is 'safe' and evidently contrived most of the time. The only natural one who can do the chats any justice is Mike Bushell. He comes across as genuine - but then again, he's old school now so is what you'd expect.

Maybe because Dan wasn’t in today, he’s likely to get excited about the new look and go on about it all morning. Charlie however would likely raise an eyebrow and mention it quickly in a dead pan manner before moving on to the next item
