I never thought they used the Lorraine out to break sting, they always played the in from break sting before and since Lorraine came back, I've only heard her use the GMTV Out to break sting. Confused

I don't normally watch Lorraine's show but I caught the beginning this morning just so that I could see what her titles were now like. During the "Coming Up" at the beginning of the programme, between the pictures LORRAINE swiped across and "Lorraine" was whispered. Is this new? I thought it was not only distracting but also a bit stupid.

I imagine it was new because Lorraine started giggling at the noise during the opening segment of the programme, then apologised. It sounded ridiculous.

glad to see Andrew and Emma presenting today, GMTV at its best with these two, imo.

I've not seen this much uproar over TV presentation since BBC One ditched the balloon. Get over it.

I don't see what the problem is with the refresh, I quite like it, the new graphics make the show look a lot brighter than the offering on the BBC.

Some screen grabs which I found interesting...

Just seen the Breaking News graphic. I like it. The text animates like BBC News 24 did. And got the same colour scheme as Sky News but the shape of GMTV. I like it Smile

I like the Breaking News Graphic, but GMTV Have messed up a few times today. Light's when out just after 6:40 and they were in darkness for a bit and they seemed to have ditched the whisper of Lorraine during the headlines, because she kept giggling!

Doesn't seem to be captioned live by a person, as some simple words which are said clearly come up as something completely different. And also, it skips parts of a sentence, usually the important bit, and catches only half of the number when the whole thing is on screen!

And By the way, couldn't they use the tele-prompt script to caption it, I know the tele-prompt doesn't last the whole show, but some of it surely!

teleprompt wouldn't have what the guest is saying

For those who want to see GMTV being plunged into darkness I've just put it on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-SGqP0M-Ag
