I don't know what everybody else thinks, but I would personally like the lunchtime showing to be extended to 30 mins again. The current show seems rushed, very little content and only lasting 10 minutes.

Five have reduced their news output too much... I also see very little need that there are two main bulletins at 5pm and 7pm. I remember when five had bulletins at 6am (1 hour) 12 noon (half hour) and 6pm (half hour) thats 120 minutes a day of news coverage and back then they also had updates on the hour. Now theres only 75 minutes a day of bulletins and a couple of updates if we are lucky in the evening.

Five should change their bulletins times in the evening... maybe 7pm and 11pm would make more sense and extend its lunchtime bulletin.

Holly Willoughby was the star guest on tonights show for a girly chat.

Talking about her frocks on Dancing on Ice, and a campaign to save water by showering for less time.

Deary me.

IIRC John Suchet returned for a limited while to cover for whats-her-face who presents Desert Island Disks.
