I agree with most here that it surprises me that the BBC still win the daytime ratings battle.

What annoys me too about the BBC morning schedules is they constantly change the schedules - programmes can be at 9.15am one week, 11am the next - and seem to have various lengths too - airing in 30 minute, 45 min and 60 min slots.

The biggest problem though is all the programmes just seem the same.


I agree all the formats BBC1 show between 9am and 1pm all do seem the same, and half of them feature Lorne Spicer

And if you've seen those outtake shows, you know that Lorne Spicer hates her job and is a totally different person off camera

Also is Sir David going deaf? It appears he has trouble hearing the panel sometimes.

She is the worst of them but I can think of many others like her. South East Today's Caroline Feraday springs to mind here - she used to present on ITV Play's The Mint by the way.

Mind you, in general there are those who hate their job and those who are just total divas behind the scenes. Cilla Black is one.

She doesn't come across as a very nice person on those does she?

She's also pretty amateurish as a presenter if you ask me. I remember watching her co-presenting something with Anna Ryder-Richardson once in which every single time Anna came towards the end of her line, Lorne started mouthing Anna's words before jumping in with her line.

The only time I've ever seen someone do that before was in a school play.

I think they should get rid of the IMO dreadful City Hospital on BBC One. The last one I saw ( October last year ) Brian Blessed was in a heart ward ( Rolling Eyes ) and Nadia Sawahla was just asking the most banal questions.

I disagree with you on this one! I don't find Neighbours, Doctors, Diagnosis Murder, or the " detective " alternatives on ITV any better than the morning.

Only BBC Two offers some sort of alternative ( at times )
