They really need to drop that Wheel of cash thing. So tacky and so GMTV.

Dropped again on Central.

It was still here in Meridian again. Razz

However the timing was correct handing back over this time.

Genuinely loved the look of bemusement on Susanna's face whilst Martin Lewis was prattling on at 100mph about savings accounts.

The ticker needs to return for the entertainment segment. It's arguably more relevant when the proper news isn't being covered than when it is.

The name strap looks quite out of place on it's own when it doesn't have the rest of the graphics around it, with it just sort of sitting in the middle of the screen away from what remaining graphics remain, like the logo and clock.

They didn't use the headline straps at the 8am TOTH, I note.

It's so awkward to interview people standing up when the four are sitting at the desk. They did it again now with Jonathan Ross.

No STV regional news on the Virgin TV Anywhere app. Its just the bumper with the headline bed...

Are Virgin taking the website feed on streaming it on the app?

There's no regional news on Sky On Demand either, but they cut the bed out and just go to the next part of the programme.

After watching since the launch, the presenters seem a lot more comfortable with each other, and it's coming into its own. I think they've got the balance right now too.

I agree, although there are small changes that could be made to improve the dynamics between them. I think it comes across as too 'clippy' and fast paced to switch between presenters for each news story.

I also think each item should be slightly longer, to let it breathe a little.

A 7 minute interview MAX for Jonathan Ross. He must be screwing!

They really should scrap "Spin to Win" and make room for a longer interview.
