Johnny Vaughan going to Daybreak?

[B Huey]

Adrian Chiles and Christine have got the boot from Daybreak. Not a great move in retrospect.

Johnny Vaughan has quit the Capital Breakfast Show. Coincidence?

I've never watched Daybreak but may give it a try if this goes ahead.

[Bebee]

I like JV he will be better I think.
Time for Adrian Chiles and Christine to part working company, I feel she has been held back by AC

[JonnyFive]

Apparently he only quit Capital because they told him they won't be renewing his contract and he said he's not going to keep working until the end of it then.

I've never understood why he doesn't get more TV work. He was brilliant on The Big Breakfast and then he just disappeared from the screen.

I also think Johnny Vaughan would be a vast improvement & if they could find a women with a bit of brains, rather than the thick, dim averagely attractive women that TV companies seem to love so much, to replace Bleakley the programme might even be worth watching. Maybe Denise van outen would entice the viewers back?

Maybe there's a shortage of thick, dim averagely attractive female TV presenters because someone has given Bleakley another job. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-20635...

They would get my viewing again.

Sacking Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley for poor ratings on Daybreak is a bit like sacking the manager when the players are not performing.

The presenters are just about the only passable thing on Daybreak, what makes it unwatchable is the endless stream of Cuprinoled mincing celebrity prats that they try to pass off as guests and "correspondents".

Frankly, they should sack the whole of the production team and all of the writers (or whoever comes up with the ideas for these types of programmes).

Johnny Vaughan wouldn't be a bad replacement though. Put some big titted, short shirted female presenter next to him and you could be on for a winner.

Johnny's bulldog could do a better job presenting that Bleakley.

Really? They're the reason I stopped watching ITV in the morning.

+1
And one shall not be watching Dancing on Ice if Bleaky is presenting it.

I channel hop in the morning. Dire as Chiles and Bleakley are, can't abide Johnny Vaughan. Will stick on BBC if he goes to Daybreak.

[Lordbenny]

Johnny Vaughan's back....great, all they need is Van-Outen...perfect chemistry and will remind me of the 80's!

What is wrong with news in the morning?

The BBC seem to now have the rolling road of celebs pimping themselves out for their latest wares.

I struggle to have the breakfast news on any more and just put some music on instead.

How many times do you want to listen to the same news over & over & over again? That's fine for people who may switch on for five minutes before dashing out the door, but wouldn't attract any other viewers.

On a side note.. Ever noticed how the news very rarely changes throughout the day & only changes over night.

There is plenty of news out there, the problem is lazy journalism. If one journo covers a story then all the other outlets cover the same story and sit on it until it dies. Rather than them all going out doing investgative work over the simple reporting.

There is more news in Private eye that is out every 2 weeks than on the BBC in a week

[Smart Mart]

Chiles is the most over-rated presenter in British TV history. All that repeating himself gets on your wick and if you listen to him for any length of time, that bloody accent overpowers whatever he says.

"Let's go and, er, let's go and talk to the Liverpool manager, Kenny, er, Kenny Dalglish who's with our, er, with our reporter Gabriel Clarke."

The bloke is a fkwit.

Johnny Vaughan? fk's sake.

[GTIR]

I heard (I can't substantiate any evidence) that JV had a breakdown some years back?
May explain why he's not as sharp as he once was.

JV and DVO on breakfast show brightened my day up.
I find him a bit of a tit now but they may be down to my old age and grumpy negative outlook.

Because radio is easy (I speak from experience!)

You can rock up in your trackie bottoms and a hoodie, unshaven, or even in last night's clothes, and no-one knows.

TV requires a shedload more effort.

OK, it's not *quite* like that anymore with the advent of studio webcams, but you get the idea.....

[Rich_W]

I like Vaughan.

BUT

He's not very versatile as a presenter. He works when he's the clear number 1. As he was on Big Breakfast. As he was on Moviewatch (all those years ago) As he was on Capitals breakfast.

I also gather him and Outen don't talk much these days. So don't hold out any hope for a reunion.
