I do agree with many points raised. It's Daybreak with a desk...
But like Brekkie said no one is surprised that they've reverted back to the showbiz format, and clearly they have not learned of their past mistakes of changing things too quickly. Which is a shame because i felt the format they launched with could have worked if given more time.
Now the show consists of mainly showbiz and celebrity rubbish, and that's not really my cup of tea..
From a presentation point of view, it's a laugh really as insiders on here said the graphics were designed to have meaning.. After 7 the news ticker has gone, and i'm not sure what that achieves at all. All studio shots to and from the ads have stopped which i personally found nice. And the obsession ITV have with Susanna, sadly i cannot take to her at all. The fake smiles and nodding Charlotte, Kate and Ranvir all have a warmer and more welcoming delivery.
They were making a big deal out of 4 presenters a desk and more newsier format.
I am aware the show isn't all about presentation..
IMO the way the show is going now it's destined to fail, no doubt they will get a nice red sofa in soon. And in 18 months or so there will be another relaunch.
I have always defended GMB but despite preferring ITV Breakfast to BBC's, Good Morning Britain has slipped.
The show started with a good premise - news. Since April it has become a different show with less emphasis on real, breaking, stories and more focus on "look at X marrying Y" and I feel it is a massive shame - it is almost as if a rebrand has occurred and but no one was informed.
I still believe that the show has promise, I can't deny it that. It just needs to go back to April and have all the 4 presenters, yes ITV let's not forget Sean, at the desk delivering that mornings headlines in the way they had planned. If ITV like to please those who like the entertainment stuff I'd suggest handing over after 8 - 8:35 to more light-hearted stuff, at this point we could even have delegation to the sofa area with 2 presenters talking with guests about the showbiz stuff they enjoy. At the TOTH the main headlines would be read out in full and clips from "earlier on GMB" could be shown here but after that they would discuss the entertainment stuff.
I like the feel of GMB I really do, I know people don't like Susanna but I actually do and think she could be great, so could they all, if they did the show better.
What I like about ITV Breakfast is that it is more light-hearted in the sense I feel more comfortable waking up to the presenters and look of the show than I do BBC Breakfast. What I don't want from GMB is light-hearted in the fashion of no proper news and early morning junk, if they wanted that then they should have left Daybreak alone.
I think maybe the tone has intentionally been less serious with the lead-up to Christmas and all in all that doesn't bother me because Christmas is a time when, I believe, things should be calmer and more peaceful if that's what GMB is trying to capture at this point in time, great. However, in the January I'm hoping to have "April GMB".
