The mumsnet mob ruin twitter. If they looked at the Radio Times or their EPG they'll see that she's on next...

Its great. Love the music, don't like how Regional news keeps on cocking up the opt but it'll be fixed.

I do like the one on one interview, it enables the presenter to be more questioning.

I wasn't expecting 1D again, but I suppose that's more a push for viewer pictures.

Laura did a little walk from the far side of the desk to her little plasma for the weather introduction

This is definitely far better than everything we've seen by ITV Breakfast for a long time. It's a lot more newsy and much less advertisement which is good as that is the main reason I couldn't watch Daybreak. The line-up of presenters is good especially Susanna and Charlotte.

They should really change the way that Ben passes over to regions. It just doesn't work for me and feels clumsy. They also need to put the weather locations in alphabetical order. You just don't know when your town/city is going to appear.

If I was working on Breakfast, I would be getting slightly worried.

The weather sting is nice! Simple piano variant on the main theme.

I quite like the way they fade into the ad break. So far I am very impressed with GMB. Well done ITV.

Goodness me, who thought they'd see the day when 'Bring back Daybreak' was being said! Some people really don't like change, do they?

What are the graphics like on the ITV regional opts? STV still can't get it right with their clock...

What's wrong with the clock? Looks fine to me.

It's a lot smaller than the actual clock on GMB. Don't ITV give the regions the graphics package?

Visually stunning, warm presentation, and a great content mix which whilst news driven, is clearly ITV Breakfast.

I dont think the regional handover's work, and would rather it be scrapped TBH.

Yep - they don't really add any value. More localness would be conveyed with a regional sting, and it would be easier to manage.


I think it would be a better idea to just do a local sting graphic where it went from 'Good Morning Britain' to 'Good Morning Tyne Tees' before the local presenter picks it up and goes through the headlines.
