I didn't see much of GMB this morning, how did the program go with the chair swaps and having 3 ladies?

Did John do the regional handovers even though he was in Sean's seat?

Your questions are a tad tedious.

And bizarre. If you want to find out then there's this thing called ITV Player where you can watch the whole programme at your leisure!

Well, not really. You have to sit through the dozen adverts first, then skip to where you want, then sit through another dozen adverts. Or at least, it feels like a dozen.

But yes the questions are tedious...

Tbh, if you are that curious then you'd be willing to sit through the adverts...

Or watch it on UTV Player with AdBlock as they haven't got round to blocking the software yet...

I think you're misrepresenting my previous posts and I disagree that salient points were made, as I discussed. You may feel my reasoning is misinformed but offer nothing to back up this conclusion and I beg to differ.


I offer the fact that arguments against your assertion have been countered by nothing but repetition of the countered point. You're argument is automatically defeated if you don't actually respond to the points.

It has already been explained why you are misinformed - you're transposing the situation on radio to TV despite the huge differences between the two mediums in terms of advertising and monitoring of listening/viewing figures.

Sorry you're getting so much abuse for wanting to talk about matters of TV presentation on a forum dedicated to such. It's the modern day form of bullying. It's funny how the respondents indicate it's not worth answering the questions you ask, which it isn't for them to deign to judge, yet find the time to pile in and criticise you. Really doesn't show this forum in a good light. "If you haven't got anything good to say..." and all that...

You were seeking views on the change in logistics on the show today. It's a shame, on a TV forum, none were forthcoming.

I have responded to the points and my argument isn't "defeated", as you put it, just because you assert the same. To suggest otherwise would be the height of arrogance.

I am not misinformed and I have previously explained why. Just because you assert that I am misinformed does not mean that I am. You have still offered nothing to support this contention.

For what I think is now the fourth time: This is adding nothing to this thread. Let's agree to disagree and leave it at that. I maintain that GMB will need around 18 months to bed in. It's not a controversial view and one I'm perfectly entitled to hold.

You've now repeated this 10 times almost consecutively in your replies. Perhaps it is you that needs to understand that discussion doesn't mean simply reasserting your point over and over.
Also given the disagreement your view has attracted, maybe it is more controversial than you think.

Show is feeling more human now, actual handovers after all of the 'Breaking Now', 'Developing Now' wipes etc and a lot more banter and loose chat.

Does anyone else get annoyed the way Ben is always moving about? The man cant stay bloody still for more than 5 seconds - and that is no joke!

I've also repeated a number of times that we should move on from this now. It's adding nothing to the thread. I maintain my view that GMB will need around 18 months to bed in. Let's agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Is that the first time the graphics have been played into a break? They didn't need Richard to walk over to the desk as he was in the gallery.

They did it the other day when he was in the gallery too.
I liked the item on driving today using Laura & making it feel like more of team of presenters.
John disappeared after the last ad break with Ben, Susanna and Ranvir introducing his Charlene Therone film and then Laura sat down at the desk at the end in John's seat.
It looked good, and could be an idea for a three presenting team with Laura at the desk also.

Both Ranvir & Kate (when they've appeared) have been the ones creating most of the banter, something that I like a lot.
Bar the top story, Ranvir appeared to be in more of a newsreader role.
Multi, TV Archive and HJL gave kudos
