Not slagging GMB's Paris Attacks coverage off at all.


Surely that should read, 'I'm not slagging GMB's........ ' Cool Wink

Seemed to use a longer version of the Piers promo just now.

That Piers GMB promo appears to broadcast in HD, first ITV promo I've seen that isn't upscaled.

Really can't believe people watch coverage of such tragic events and are more concerned with the font, the theme tune and how the date is pronounced.


How GMB deals with tragic news stories is absolutely worthy of discussion on this forum. I don't think anyone is more concerned by presentation than the loss of life, but this place isn't to discuss the tragedy, it's to discuss how it's presented. Indeed, one of the first major news stories this forum discussed was 9/11.

So if any of us wish to criticise the use of the music, or the astons, or the fact that Susanna anchored the entire thing dressed as an Inspector Gadget tribute act, we should be able to.

Heh, this post almost sounds like what any casual bystander would think if they came across this forum!


I'm sure that everyone who posts on here doesn't first think of what type of astons they'll use on the news instead of the loss of life that happens in these tragic events. I think we can all admit to being a bit too pedantic at one time or another when it comes to posting on here.

(For me it's mainly a case of being a completionist - perhaps giving unneccessary detail so there are no questions left unanswered, but also to give full context when I look back on my post in years to come, as I regularly do with forum threads of major events).

(The latter of these is the new Facebook/Twitter header image, replacing the old Sean, Charlotte, Ben, and Susanna one from launch.)

New promo shot. Reinforces the idea of three great presenting duos, in many ways.

Piers and Susanna have that love hate relationship, but really get along well and come across as warm and lovely.

Ben and Susanna have been there since the start and clicked straight away and have been great ever since.

Kate and Ben on a Friday is a smart move, they were a great duo on GMTV and now, with a 4 year break, it is like Ben has never been away.

Good to see that Kate has been given a more permanent role, and not just sidelined.

It does make sense to have Susanna, Piers, Ben and Kate because they are now the main presenters. Charlotte & Ranvir are now only the news presenters and Sean occasionally does Sport reports and the news.
I guess GMB are finally admitting that this line up is now their main presenter line up. Some people may find this new rota similar to GMTV's seeing as we will be having a different duo three times a week once more from Monday. Never mind how many people dislike Kate Garraway on this forum, there's no turning back from saying she is now a main presenter.

Jeez. Did you take all that from a Good Morning Britain press release? Shocked

Sad to see Charlotte sidelined.

The awful Kate Garraway will only be appearing on Fridays, so it's weird to include her. I guess that only the main pairings are being promoted. Charlotte will be there on Monday for definite.





On a different note, ITV are clearly hoping for big things with the addition of Piers. Heavy promotion during X Factor and I'm A Celeb, as well as digital adverts on billboards, online adverts and newspaper promotions.

By saying that decorators are in are they just referencing Piers Morgan?
