Oh boy, it's a rota thread again.

Sorry. It just says 'Good Morning Britain' not 'Presentation of good morning britain'

This place is predominantly a TV presentation forum (hence very little day to day discussion on programmes for example), and although who presents is all part of presentation we try and avoid going into too much detail, especially when it comes to "fantasy rotas". The mod team have specific guidelines set out regarding rota discussion.

Usually a bit of familiarity with how the discussion on the forum flows and an ounce of common sense suffices to get it right, although there are times we all might blur the boundaries.


As for your specific suggestion - having a completely different presenter combination everyday of the week is never a good idea. Dropping Piers on the other hand - as much as the nation would delight in seeing him get his P45 (whether they watch GMB or not) he is their main point of difference at the moment


It's all very well having these "T's & C's", about what can be discussed in what is predominately meant to be an "open" forum, but if this area is intended to be for discussion on presentation only, then that needs to be reflected in the name. IMO, the name, "Good Morning Britain", is not clear enough. It amazes me how discussion about rotas is not permitted but sarcastic, condescending and sometimes abusive remarks, to those who do post about rotas is allowed. I needed to get that off my chest!

While it's not in the title of the thread, the sub-header until the TVF logo makes it clear what this forum discusses.

Would you like it under every post too? Perhaps a prompt should come up between each sentence as you compose it?

I mean, just how specific would you like it to be, other than being plastered over the top half of the home page?

And there proves my point...

Odd - you made your point before I was sarcastic and condescending. Brekkie gave you some feedback and was pretty pleasant about it really. You got very defensive rather than simply accepting it or, perhaps, apologising - perhaps that is why I felt the need to be a little rude to you.

I think someone should have let Charlotte and Ranvir in on what was going to happen.

Fast forward to 3:58 if you want just the 'incident'.

I hope so. Even though it wont happen they should refresh the whole show.

The studio was refreshed in September so that is unlikley. Although they could do with changing the accent lighting from the cold yellow to a slightly warmer tone.

I believe in celebration of Trump's ascent to power they'll add a wall in the studio separating Piers and Susanna.

Actually jason2016 I'm glad you raised the question, because why wasn't GMB on air today? They usually broadcast on Bank Holidays. But most likely it is that they were taking the christmas decorations down today.
