Hmm a new look (trimmed down) version of This Morning - with twiggy lawson and one of the nolan birds - i shouldve really remembered their names as that was about they were all capable of saying confidently!

Nice new set and graphics but jaci stephens has gone! what a shame she was good (if always a bit drunk) live links via the roving reporter.

cant wait to see fern and john back - they rock!

Also Lorraine is looking pretty damn cool over on sky one! nice to see gmtv getting their moneys worth out of their studios now!

Why didnt itv1 snap lorraine kelly up for their morning programme she wouldve been ideal!

I watched Lorraine's new show today, but she was interviewing Victoria Beckahm again, and I'd just seen her on GMTV!

I don't like the new This Morning, don't think it will be the same without Richard & Judy, set looks ok though.

At least it's in proper widescreen now though, not the 4:3 cropped to 14:9 'fake' effort. Smile

I switched off after five minutes. Twiggy's voice sends my back into spasm! It's awful!

Agreed,

Colleen Nolan is OK, but Twiggy is awful. As a guy (yes I am) I found the programme offered me nothing. It needs a mans perspective on the show, it's just too girlie. At least Richard had an opinion on everything from childbirth to the menopause, he'd seen it all.

Sort it out ITV - it doesn't work.

Oh dear...

Do Twiggy and Coleen Nolan actually have any TV experience??? If they do, then they could have fooled me! Twiggy seems dull and amateurish, and Coleen Nolan is, by the looks of it, completely senile! (obviously they were trying to get someone a bit like Judy...)

To be honest, I can't see either of them lasting long. I know I should probably give them a while to improve but, if today was anything to go by, then it doesn't look good at all. John Leslie and Fern Britten should be good, though, as they were always OK.

After the first day I thought the new presenters were quite poor, They made Judy look like the most composed and calm presenter ever.

What was that strange intro about? Short opening titles?

The 2000 new look only lasted one year didn't it, It wasn't popular with anybody!

During 'New Midday Money' I doubt anyone knew what was going on.

Today's show had the big guest to carry it, and tommorow they are at Coronation Street, so Wednesday might be the show to make a final decision about their performance

It looks like 'Friday shows' may be the best with Fern and John.

Twiggy is also on her own show on Sunday lunchtimes

I notice 'Trisha' had new opening titles too.

Funniest moment sticking Joan between Dumb & Dumber, poor Joan's head nearly fell off turning between them.

I think that table is from the old set?

Have you noticed how the new set has a couple of odds and ends which are from the old set scattered about.

Plus, those titles won't be very suitable in January and February!

It is the same table from last series

What's happened to the opening titles? The classic theme tune has been reduced to a short sting!

I think they've reduced the opening titles so that we are all made to suffer even more Twiggy. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
