Good Morning Britain

Why did I think he died the same week Princess Diana did? Who am I thinking of (not Mother Theresa!)

He died just after the Queen Mother. One of those famous deaths overshadowed by a more famous death - a bit like Diana/Mother Theresa.

Farrah Fawcett / Michael Jackson

No disrespect to Barry Took, but I suspect that's the first time he's been compared with Mother Theresa!

He brought comfort and compassion to millions of BBC viewers in distress through his selfless and tireless work on Points Of View. I think the comparison is valid and he should be canonised as a saint forthwith.

Meanwhile, back at GMB,.........

.....They were on time yet again this morning.

Have say Advil and Ranvir really work well together, Ranvir is just great and just gets better her Lancashire lass persona fits really well in the things she does, shame they haven’t recommissioned real stories I liked the format and stories

*Adil hehe

Advil is what you need after an hour of Piers.

Michael Jackson is dead?!? Obviously didn’t hear about it if it was same time as Farrah Fawcett

I think that desk on GMB could do with being a few meters longer. I like the desk Anne Diamond and Jeremy Vine use every morning over on the other channel. It’s quite long and very spectacular.

The GMB desk feels as though it’s been crunched up deliberately. Was the original desk longer?

Yes. The original desk was oversized, I think deliberately as part of the US TV influence.
