LW has become a pile of utter crap, maybe that why Kaye isn't coming on because she knows its crap..


Rainbow with Geoffrey, Zippy, George and Bungle used to have far more intellectual substance at lunchtimes on ITV.


They'd still talk about the same stuff:

Newsroom24 and London Lite gave kudos

Moving away from that - on a presentational (is that a word?) note - I have noticed for the past few weeks they've changed the intro to the show now. They've gone from the anchor introducing the show/topics standing up - then panelists coming from the sides.

Now, the anchor introduces the panel sitting down at the desk, who come in from all entrances or from one entrance if entering as a group (to the show's theme or to music), then the topics are introduced. Wonder who changed the intro?

Changes to the intro:

Before the tweaked intro back in mid August:

The two versions they now use after mid August's tweak:

Panel enter via the entrance behind the audience:

Panel enter via all three entrances:

Jeezus the show does have an incredibly tacky feel to it even by ITV daytime standards. And the audience particularly on the 1st August and 30th August clips are unintentionally hilarious (especially the very loud YAY bloke). I'm all for people enjoying what they want but is it really worth getting that excited over Stacey sodding Solomon and Janet Street-Porter? You'd think from the audience reactions that Beyonce, Sue Barker and Oprah Winfrey were the panellists.

Although to be fair, every attempt to take the show more upmarket has resulted in lower viewing figures.

ITV's most successful show in the morning is usually Jeremy Kyle... That may tell you quite a bit about the ITV audience at that time of day.

And yet is still beaten by the BBC One opposition.

No point everyone going for the same audience. ITV daytime is pitched to a certain demographic.

Not always. Kyle is one of the only ITV Daytime shows that regularly (but not always) beats the BBC competition. Occasional 15 minute chunks of This Morning sometimes do too.

Unemployable chavs opening the first bottle of strong cider of the day while rolling a spliff, all before Jeremy Kyle starts shouting!

(If any of them are actually awake that early!)

How did Supermarket Sweep, Chain Letters, Win Lose or Draw and the other 9:25 game shows fare against Kilroy?

Crumbs - goodness only knows. It's very difficult to compare audiences between now and then - even in relative terms - as multichannel (which can now account for 50%+ of audiences at certain times) was nowhere near as dominant.

However in a lot of that era, Breakfast News was in second place to GMTV, and I don't know how Kilroy did against The Time The Place (which was it's competition - although maybe not on-air in direct competition?)

....rather unfair to the lonely, elderly, housebound, terminally ill and other people who (whilst highly capable and employable) through circumstances were unable to venture out of the house and sought comfort (perhaps the only company or human contact available) in all manner of television programmes.....

It's wrong and unfair to generalise. I appreciate your comments were made tongue in cheek, but.......

.....i detested Kilroy (the show, not the man himself) with a vengeance.

See you in the morning. Wink

Also, there are plenty of middle-class types who watch Jeremy Kyle as poverty porn.
