Has Sean been pretty much sidelined now then?


Well according to the EPG, it is Sean, Susanna & Charlotte presenting on Monday. Perhaps Sean will be covering for Ben as lead presenter?

It was nice to have them all outside rather than one sitting in the studio.


Much nicer than their normal set anyhow.

I guess this means that we'll be having a lot more outdoor presentation consistently.

Hope we see some more outdoor presenting I think it's nice although I do like the studio. Do we have a presenter rota for the show, who is on tomorrow?

I know it might sound cheesy but I liked it when they use to say "Good Morning Britain" at the top of the hour instead for just Good Morning.

If we do then please post it in a dedicated thread. The odd presenter comment here is tolerable. Anything beyond that will be in a new thread.

Susanna still says it at the top of the hour before reading out the main stories.

I've got to say I prefer the three presenting line up. Think Ben, Charlotte, Susanna work well together with Kate & Ranvir slotting in seamlessly also. Sean feels a bit of spare part even when he's presenting.

I suspect, if it just the three of them, Charlotte & Susanna will cover the bulk of the show.

I do hope Sean gets the chance to cover for Ben - I think given the chance he could really shine, and having Susanna and Charlotte alongside him means everything is covered (Ben isn't known as a journalist after all!). If they do cut to three regularly having three from the four present - and pretty much always presents makes sense, with Ranvir kept on the sidelines in reserve, and perhaps John too, though frankly if they ever were without both Sean and Ben no reason at all Susanna, Charlotte and Ranvir couldn't host.

I know that people aren't keen on Kate on this forum, but Brekkie I think that she needs to be considered an effective co-host/ cover. She has good chemistry and is really good in this format, at least when she is kept on track with the format and the nature of the new show.

People seem to love her on here now! Very suddenly... She's much better than she was on GMTV and Daybreak and she and Ben have great chemistry. Her shows have been the best IMO.

She'd make a great replacement for Susanna!...

Using her more could help regain viewers without messing around and ruining the content all over again.

If any one was to go I'd let Charlotte go. Or have Kate take her place and have Charlotte only present on Kate's day off. I really like Susanna and I am also a fan of Kate and think her, Susanna and Ben work great together. That said, it is clear when those 3 present Ben is more comfortable with Kate.

Charlotte makes a great newsreader and a great Susanna when needed. She's as good at Susanna's job than Susanna and she is a better interviewer and things like that. There's nothing wrong with Charlotte, in fact I think she's great. But Susanna can be a bit annoying. Give her the Richard & Judy style show that she wanted... (not for at least a year though, obviously)

I like the 3 main presenters style myself with Sean doing sport. Though I do think he should be at the desk for the TOTH.

On another note: I think they should start trying the sofa for the TOTH - for old time's sake! It varies things really. It might make the show feel a bit less foreign and a bit more familiar if they use it sometimes. IMO they should always use the sofa for 8:00 TOTH.
