Is Sean Fletcher still with Good Morning Britain? I see that he is now the host of the BBC's Inside Out London.

They tried something a bit different at the desk at around 6:20 this morning. Charlotte disappeared, Piers and Susanna shifted over to the left of the desk and they had three guests around the right of the desk. It all looked a bit ridiculous when you consider that they have a perfectly good sofa.

It does make me wonder when they move to Television Centre are they going to get rid of the sofa and present the whole show from the desk. It's interesting that they are now using the desk as much if not more than the 2014 launch format.

This has also been used various other times over the past year, happens quite often if there are three guests.
I agree that it looks ridiculous, they could do with a desk like that seen in the last C5News Studio (one used until they re-branded earlier this year).

Let’s be honest with ourselves; who is the sofa really for? The presenters and guests are some small number of viewers who think it should all be done on a sofa. By the way not meaning anyone on here with this comment I am meaning the so called demographics they listen to when making changes.
I personally think there is no need for a sofa at all. Working from the desk is much better in both professionalism and the look and feel of the programme.
I agree maybe when moving to BBC Studios they probably will just have a desk and when the new ITV Studios opens again no Sofa but a possible complete new look programme.

It's very simple.
Desk presentation is well suited to discussions with other TV professionals, reporters and people used to being on the TV (like MPs, 'Experts' etc.)
Sofa presentation is better suited to 'real people' interviews, where you are talking to people who are not used to being in a TV studio. It's a less confrontational environment, and puts people at their ease more.
You can do serious from a sofa (as Breakfast demonstrates) - but it is trickier to do a comfortable interview with nervous members of the public at a desk. (Not impossible - just not as easy, and you probably won't get as good a result if people are less at ease)

Seems somewhat random that the flicker is still branded Entertainment but the strap tags say Showbuzz. Also I can't see them getting rid of the sofa since having multiple presentations areas makes the whole show more versatile and, as mentioned above, you can change the feel depending on the segment.
