Daybreak - the launch onwards

I Must admit the rare time's I have watched E24, I Did not take much notice of who was presenting it. So the only knowledge I have of Tasmin's presenting skills is on Daybreak and I think she's done very well for the first few shows she was bit jumpy and stumbled on some word's but now she handles the news with Ease and she's just as good at reading the news than any of the reporting team and she has got Experience even though it's different to other newscasters. She also is experienced in entertainment which would be a great asset if she was to present the main show and I think she would be great fronting the main show , I think she's come in for a lot of harsh criticism which is not fair.

Considering that she was employed to read words from an autocue - you would've expected her to master the skill before the first programme, not after the first few weeks.

She wasn't employed for her journalistic skills, was she, or did the recruitment process break down completely?

Gino, why are you still scratching around in the dirt coming up with excuses for the programme, when this weekend the main presenters admitted that it is a disaster?

I've only ever watched Daybreak around 8am. Does Tasmin ever do anything else in the show other than read the headlines?

On the 8am headlines she is competent enough, but nothing more IMO. And theres not much of a handover or chemistry with the main presenters (could always be the producers decision of course). So from what I've seen of her I would be a bit cautious about her being a relief main presenter

Not entirely accurate, they said after the first show they thought they did a good job but then the next day it turned out that they thought it was a disaster or words to that effect.

I think you'll find most peoples' initial perception is always that they've managed to do a good job in any given task: unless they're particularly inept or insecure.

However, the article stated that Chiles & Bleakley readily accepted the 'disastrous' review after reading the following morning's newspapers.

You're running a fine timeline about how long they actually believed their original thoughts about the programme's success and acceptance that it was the 'worst programme' available.

Okay first of all lets clear it up Gino's the name of my dog, my name is Daniel. Tasmin stumbling could have been down to a mass of things . It could have been Nerves or being conscious that shes making mistakes she could have been worrying so much about making more she did. I think she's a lot more professional than Penny Smith (I like Penny but at times she was not serious enough) and Just as good as Cordelia. and In regards to your point about what she was being employed for Yes it may have been or most likley to do with Looks but I think has got credabilty as a good Journalist.

I'm not coming up with excuses for the programme yes it's suffered in the ratings but the show is barley 3 months in and people are saying it's failing it was never going to be a runaway success if someone watches a programme like BBC Breakfast for number of years It fits all of their requirements (ie.News, Local news and weather in 30mins with regular inserts of BBC Sport and weather) Then there not going to switch because over on another channel people are doing something different . The show's first day was good and I think in october it was a rough path but now the show is miles ahead of GMTV in my oppinion and the ratings are starting to come back up . What people don't seem to realize when GMTV launched there was not 900 odd channels avalible to watch , there was not as advanced content on the internet and people also listen to radio. There are alsoo times such as the half term when people get up latter . I think the show is good and it's a lot better than GMTV and now with the changes they've made it has something for everyone.

At 8.30am on 6 September, when the first edition came off air, both presenters thought it had gone pretty well. "We got through it anyway, put it that way," Bleakley says. "And I was so nervous about it, I was just glad there were no blazing errors. We thought it was OK."

"And then," says Chiles, "we woke up in the morning and found out that, far from being OK, it was actually one of the biggest crocks of **** anyone had seen in years."

Lester you have completely misunderstood what Adrian had said, which has already been pointed out to you, Adrian meant he discovered this after reading the reviews of the show the morning after the first show had aired. He and Christine thought it had gone well. You don't work for The Sun, Mirror or Mail do you? Because they have misinterpreted (purposely) what Adrian said as well. Read the full interview in the Guardian and you may understand what has been said and the context it's been said in.

There is closing music? I've had two zips of daybreak music and neither have closing music in them :S

It was uploaded when that person came and uploaded all the beds and stuff.

How patronising are you?? If you read the thread i was trying to confirm that very point that they have never said they thought the show 'is a disaster'.

Maybe I wasn't being clear. Sorry.

So far this morning, I like what I see. Definitely improved somewhat over the first week. I'm just tired of seeing Adrian's crotch...
