Lorraine, weekdays on ITV

Quite a few studios I've worked in have had a pair of flashing lights (particularly if the bells/tannoy are muted during a live transmission)

One amber - indicating a warning (usually caused by a single activation of a break glass, smoke detector or fire sensor, or a problem elsewhere in a building), the other red - indicating evacuate immediately. If you see amber you carry on, but prepare to come off-air. If you see red, you get off air ASAP.

They will usually be replicated in the gallery (even if it is in a separate fire zone)

Or maybe just an illustration of changing one thing.

Best marketing spin I've heard.

Lorraine is off next week and Gaby Roslin to to guest host according to Lorraine's Facebook page.

All you need is Chris Evans as her co-host alongside two Irish Puppets and you have yourself a winning formula for Breakfast TV!

Due to industrial action Lorraine was broadcast from the Good Morning Britain studio today. Here is the opening and closing of the programme.

With the program in GMB's studio, this may mean that tomorrows show was also filmed from there as that would've been recorded today

or could they have just recorded yesterday instead?

I feel that they could have used the original interview area chairs in the performance area for Lorraine today with the blurred trees background on the screens rather than using the GMB sofa.

Also Lorraine said 'GMB' in a very odd way. 'Good Morning Britain' may have suited better.

I think that is the one thing that has gone downhill. Whenever you saw the trailer for 'Good Morning Britain' they said 'Good Morning Britain', when the show began and for weeks after that 'Good Morning Britain', now it is just 'GMB' and 'Good Morning Britain' for the TOTH's

Also I think that they could have used the screen in the corner for the conversation between Lorraine and Dan Wooton (bit awkward at the start) as normally they would use the Video Wall or the Sofa Screen, the 'Graphic Screen' as I like to call it would have worked great (espically as they used the portrait screen for the mind segment thingy and they use that screen for live stuff sometimes)

Maybe because it was sort of last minute, they wanted to keep the programme as simple as possible and/or did not have time to sort out a range of presentation points for a one off, and presumably they were short staffed aswell.

Very good points. Would GMB have had to use external staff or would it have been unaffected by the staff walk out somehow?
