yeah I agree - not sure about the new addition to the political team though ! ( See above picture ) Anyone know if its permenent or just like John Prescott - just for the conference.


From http://bit.ly/b15BsP DS

"Adam Rickitt has signed up as Daybreak's political reporter for the Conservative Party Conference."
I think it sounds short term, but if they think he is good and Adam hasn't got anything else, I reckon longer.

Actually that list is slightly longer than that, Corrie, then Music, then Politics, then off NZ for Shortland Street (Those episodes now on Living TV) and now back to the UK to go back to Politics, distracted by Daybreak.

That's what I was hoping wouldn't happen!

Think there've gone for a bit a "somebody" although he really is a nobody!

Has the curse of ITV struck again?

Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley are the latest stars whose ratings flop after switching from the BBC

In most circumstances, any broadcaster would be happy to be added to a list that includes some of the medium's biggest names: Morecambe & Wise, Michael Parkinson, Esther Rantzen, The Goodies and Desmond Lynam. For Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley, however, it's a roll call to avoid, consisting as it does of BBC stars who have failed to repeat the same success when moving to commercial television. The former co-hosts of the licence fee-funded The One Show qualify through the poor reviews and ratings for their advertising-supported breakfast show Daybreak.

from and more….

You missed the bit where he's launching his single, which largely includes him playing in gay clubs (including the Tory's "Pride" Conference - shurely shome mishtake?) wearing nothing above his underwear looking particularly gristly.

The curse can work the other way though, and lumping ITV and C4 together:-

Roland Rat
Johnny Vaughan
Dom Jolly

This morning we have had a debate between guests in the studio about the Channel 4 programme about Prince Harry's kidnap, and just now we have had Dan's Dares. Now where have I heard these ideas before?
