This Morning

Richard and Judy returning for a one-off should be good. I'm surprised it's taken this long but I guess Judy was the sticking point.

Maybe if Richard and Judy works out, they could invite Fern to do a one-off with say Rylan or even Eamonn

At last, I can actually watch TM on a day when Eamonn and Ruth aren't on.

Why? You’re not a fan of Folly and Shrill?

I’ll be honest in saying I quite like Friday episodes because they are married and the banter that comes off the back of that.

I've often said I much prefer the natural banter between Eammon and Ruth as opposed to Phil and Holly's endless "we're such good friends" thing.

I've just noticed that the Richard and Judy guest hosting episode is the same Friday the schools break up for Half Term Week so i'm guessing it's more because Ruth and Eammon would be on Monday-Thursday of the following week.

Eamonn seems to rub some viewers up the wrong way due to the way he treats Ruth on air, but I'm guessing those viewers have never been married.

Eamonn's a great broadcaster - I'd recommend his autobiography and also recently he took part in Kate Thornton's White Wine Question Time which was an absolute delight.

Eamonn's style is more cynical compares to Phil which does work but he's more at home with the more serious items than the more light hearted items.

So no This Morning err this morning due to the Rugby World Cup, but with the collapse of Thomas Cook in the early hours they've done a small 15 piece on their social media pages with Vanessa Feltz, Martin Lewis and Simon Calder.

Vanessa is quite the seasoned presenter. I wonder why they’ve never used her on the sofa?

That was a very well produced segment for their digital output.

I have vague memories of Vanessa hosting a Friday addition last summer (2018) possibly with Dr. Ranj.
