This Morning - General

I was looking through the tv the other day and came across 'This Morning' which I don't watch as I'm usually at college but what I saw was so weird I was wondering what other stuff those presenters get up to!!

Phil Schofield put this micro camera nearly down Fern Britton's top... so she then put it near his crotch but then said "I'll need a double zoom lens for that".....

Then they burst out laughing! It was an interesting style of presenting!

Phil & Fern are fantastic on This Morning. It's their mischevous humour that creates such a great show, such as before Christmas when instead of concentrating on the cookery item, they were more interested in getting into the advokar.

Yet they seem to get away with stuff like this, but then end up talking about a serious subject within half an hour.

That's what makes them good presenters I feel They have enough credibility and sincerity to do serious matters/interviews, yet they don't take themselves so seriously that can't do more light-hearted stuff well!

I just love it when they collapse into fits of giggles, in fact round our way we refer to an uncontrollable episode of laughter as a "Phil & Fern moment"

I only manage to catch This Morning on odd ocassions, but certainly Phil & Fern do seem to have a very good on-air chemistry. Sometimes they do have to deal with serious issues but have a knack of being able to quickly change the mood back to something light-hearted with relative ease.

Certainly the sign of good presenting skills.

they also like sticking micro cameras into inappropriate area's
they've done that before.

like the others said it's their presenting style which can change that makes them a good team.

When you have to interview parents of children with cancer or people who've been raped you have to balance it out with more light hearted moments.

There isn't much on tv lately that makes me sit up and watch in total awe.

But today's This Morning had that effect.

There was a 50 stone chap called Charlie who has been losing weight now for three years under the careful eye of Dr Chris Steele.

When the strand started he was 44st (already losing 6 st by himself) but now he is down to 14st and a 35" waist. Losing a massive 30 stones!!!!!

This morning's programme featured him getting the excess skin apron cut off from his stomach.

It was totally inspiring and a real joy to see such investment by Dr Chris and the This Morning team into one person's struggle.

I hope there are future follow-up programmes.
