This Morning

I think This Morning has been brilliant today with most of their items relying on Skype calls (or the equivalent). Even the cookery item came live from James Martin's own kitchen and Alison Hammond is about to review movies from her home.

Reminds me of the scaled down local sets TV-am had back in the day

She's also mic'd up and seems to have a professional set up down there.

Haha at Eamonn and Ruth responding to criticism they're sat together on the sofa

'Don't worry we've been married, days, weeks, months, years and years!'

They've had to do that throughout the show due to the usual suspects on Twitter.

Yeah, no need to practice social distancing if you're in the same household, which, being a married couple, those two obviously are.

Eamonn pointed out at the start that 'we even sometimes share the same bed, so we do'
