Would you care to tell me what is nasty about what I have just written?

The fact of the matter is that: a) Fantasy rota discussions lead nowhere and the moderators (quite rightly) dislike them, and b) I can assure you from personal experience that the people whose job it is to actually DO presenter rotas don't put anywhere near as much thought into them as when they get posted here, but the product that makes it to air (no matter the channel) is almost always credible, so they must be doing something right.

Well it's pretty clear you be nasty when certain formers post, you disagree with that post. Also you have been recently warned, so it's pretty clear.

Nathan, I can't believe you've not noticed the ban on fantasy rotas. They're not welcome here so please stick to the rules of the site.

Why are they not allowed?

The obsessiveness of the rotas, comes across as very creepy. I've seen past posts where some posters speculate about a TV personality's personal life as a reason to why they're not on-air. That's where the line is crossed. Rotas really aren't that interesting.

It brings nothing to the post and it ends up with arguments so that's why we can't have fantasy rota's.

To put it bluntly, they are a pain in the a***.

Ben will be covering for Piers tomorrow (and presumably throughout the week?)




Who's filling in for piers tomorrow then? Ben again is it, been a lot better this week without piers


I couldn't disagree with you more. It felt boring this last week and (I realise this sounds stupid) too conventional breakfast TV. Piers, no matter how the papers report it, has saved the show for me from being what it was last week.

Totally agree. Piers is the show's USP.

Still no sign of Mark Austin turning up then.

Which is a shame. Can't really see it happening now though. Kate isn't going anywhere by the looks of it, and I don't think Ben will be leaving either.

It's probably not going to happen but giving the show a slot every day would surely increase viewers. Sean is like a spare part and could help attract the male audience with some sport stuff on weekends.

Would love it if Mark were to join the program as it would mean for a much more consistent show. With Ben, he just doesn't look like he'll leave any time soon.

Piers has ruined the show IMO, he's too controversial, for example, it's like if Katie Hopkins was to join Loose Women or Nigel Farage was to become itv news political editor, it would ruin the programmes, I've said it before and I'll say it again GMB needs a Newshour, and get rid of 3 presenters at the desk, only newsreader should be sat there, maybe a hint of yellow or orange in the set, and get rid of that horrible music, then they have a formula.
