This Morning 20th series

Does anyone know if there will be any on screen changes to This Morning when the 20th series starts with Phillip and Fern on September 1st, such as any set changes or titles changes? I think they should have rested the show over the summer this year.

No doubt they're going to treat the viewers to some VT's they wheel out at every thinkable occasion, with the same clips (ie beef dunking etc).

Apparently Eamonn will soon be presenting with Ruth on Fridays...

From the Guardian:

Eamonn Holmes and his partner Ruth Langsford are set to take over as Friday presenters of This Morning.

ITV has confirmed the couple are in talks to host the ITV flagship show every Friday from September.

Langsford already regularly hosts This Morning on Fridays with Phillip Schofield.

The rest of the week, the long-running ITV1 daytime flagship show is presented by Schofield and co-host Fern Britton.

But Langsford has been joined by Holmes on This Morning for short stints during the past two years, covering for Schofield and Britton during their summer break.

They began presenting the show during half term holidays last year, before taking the helm five days a week for seven weeks last summer.

The couple are currently doing the same this summer and are due to finish early next month.

But MediaGuardian.co.uk understands that after that Holmes will continue on the show on Fridays, while Schofield moves to a four-day week like his co-host Britton.

An ITV spokeswoman confirmed Holmes and Langsford are in talks about This Morning but was unable to comment further.

This will make Langsford and Holmes the first on-screen couple to regularly present This Morning since the show's founding hosts, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, left for Channel 4 in 2001.

Prior to joining Sky News in 2005, Holmes was a presenter on GMTV for 12 years.

He also presents programmes for the BBC, including a weekend show on Radio 5 Live.

This Morning, which celebrates its 20th year in September, hit the headlines earlier this year after a row over Britton's decision to have a gastric band fitted to lose weight.

Britton had become such a popular host that she wanted to launch her own clothing brand and also amazed her fans by shedding five stone.

Not long after, it emerged that she had had surgery to help her lose the weight

Shame if it's true

New Graphics and titles. Not too sure about them, maybe they will grow on me. They've ditched the blue colour and replaced it with a creamy and the This Morning logo in a Maroony colour.

No major changes to the set, except for a desk being added to the area where the plasma is on the far right.

The titles/graphics however, have changed...

They have also put the 'This Morning' logo in and out of the safe area.

Edit: But I do wish they would move to a more softer font for the astons, rather than Century Gothic.

And sharon Marshall (soapbox) looks like she's behind a cocktail bar

I really like these new titles but not so sure on the new on screen graphics just yet.

Blech. Why can't they put this maggot-infested runt down?

Has anyone got a video?

I'd hazard a guess that you're not their target audience, Jason.

They've gone for the "Something for the Weekend" look. Their idea is the same, as is almost the font colour..
