Good Morning Britain - the launch

Think next week, Susanna is back (as Ben had 2 weeks vacation)?
We could have the return of the duo Ben and Kate otherwise!

Ranvir joined at half past.

Ranvir has now joined Charlotte and Ben. Was she running late haha?

Rather than Susanna having a vacation, she's stayed at home.

It seems from Ranvir's tweets that she had some alarm trouble this morning!

Cordelia was reporting on the debate tonight, referring to STV and ITV Border.

I didn't see GMB at all this morning so I viewed the first part of it on ITVPlayer and was surprised to see that there were, by and large, no graphics at all for the first twelve minutes. Other things like the TOTH did not work correctly either. I have no idea if it played out live this morning on TV like that or whether there was a problem putting it on ITVPlayer. If you're remotely interested in seeing this for yourself, you can up to the 6:12am point at https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/good-morning-britain/series-1/episode-72.

I sadly have been having recording problems so wasn't able to catch this mornings episode either, so I can't have a look for you. I imagine it would have been the same live this morning, unless ITV player upload a different copy.

EDIT: I believe it did play out live as the "Top five headlines you're waking up to" on the website is the same as IPlayer, I'm surprised they posted it. http://www.itv.com/goodmorningbritain/news/top-headlines-youre-waking-up-to-5-august

I just checked my recording and there seems to be enough graphics to me. Name straps, the clock, weather, ticker, DOG etc.

Here is the video for anyone wanting to see it:

I liked the similar shape wipe. How were they able to generate this but no graphics?

Could they have cued the job operator to start moving sooner or that have thrown out things a lot?
