Hopefully they'll be taking advantage of being able to go outdoors & the views relatively often over the summer (weather permitting).
A treat for you tomorrow
Full show outside maybe? I did find that when the Steadicam outside did the 'runaround' shots, and showed the one camera and very few team members, sort of underwhelming and an anti-climax since the camera shot was so 'whooshy' and CNN like.
According to a tweet from Neil Thompson, the show will be outside again tomorrow, as he put 'same again tomorrow ' or something along the lines of that, not 100 percent sure but, we will have to wait and see.
It seems the sunshine was beneficial to the show as everybody sounds so pleased. As soon as their avaliable can someone provide ratings I'd like to see if GMB improved. I imagine it would like ASO said breakfast were covering a deep issue today whilst GMB was bright and cheerful and I imagine those who switch would have sticked with itv today - am I right?

I don't know how many people would have switched over from Breakfast. Not many - nobody really cares about which Breakfast TV show they were watching - it's normally just on in the background in most households. But if other people did switch over from the Beeb's heavy FGM report - I doubt it would improve ratings that much.

I think we can gauge something from our insider's post at the top of the page...
I echo the sentiments of others who have praised GMB's efforts today with the use of the South Bank. Overall, I thought the show had the right balance between news and light items, the pace was good and there was stunning views of the River Thames during the outside broadcasts. I think an added advantage was having more definitive roles i.e. Ben and Susanna were in the lead which made the transitions to the main studio more seamless.
I am sure there are those who criticise the outdoor broadcasts for being too gimmicky, but I personally thought it worked well. Remember, Daybreak's failed attempts with the outdoors with that studio terrace where they spent months constructing, but only used a handful of times. Or even that terrace adjacent to the old Studio 7 Daybreak green room that was only used for a number of interviews. At least, the team took the advantage of using the views of the south bank to broadcast from and it paid off IMO.
And of course, it's not the first time Ben has been outside of a morning.
Reading back through a few pages of that thread, and quite a few members made suggestions that actually happened, albeit with varying degrees of success! Over just a few pages I saw the words 'let Lorraine Kelly present GMTV' numerous times, along with a few mentions of getting Christine Bleakley or Suzanna Reid to move to the other side. There's even a 'why don't they use the old LNN (Daybreak Mk.1) studio...'
And everyone appeared to love Kate Garraway in 2008. The news that she wasn't going to be given the 'top job' was met with responses like 'I think kate will go if the bosses start messing her about... Some new presenter that hasn't put in all Kate's work!!! ' and so on.
