Good Morning Britain

[Fishtigua]

So the new ITV breakfast show has started. Ben Shepherd and Susanna Reid are fronting it.

So far the top story is a behind the scenes look at the pop group 1D.

It can only go downhill in 1D.

Yep, O-level media studies project written all over it. Too many people behind the desk too.
Oh Susanna

[Matt_N]

I'll be surprised if it lasts a year.

[JontyR]

Susanna must be so frustrated that they have a high table...she cant do those Basic Instinct beaver flashes anymore!

So glad she left BBC...it is back to being about news and not her!

[grumpyscot]

Not impressed so far - only saving grace is that the dreadful Lorraine Kelly isn't on it - but it's now 8:30 and she's coming on - time to switch back to BBC methinks!

[DrDoofenshmirtz]

I only caught the bit about Britain's biggest family and then it was over to Lorraine to introduce what's on her program today. Needless to say I leaped for the remote at this point.
The studio desk was far too cluttered, and it looked awkward and unprofessional. They need to sort out the reflections on the weather map as well.

I'll give it a miss. It's still too 'Sun newspaper' for me... Aimed at oiks.

big desk format makes a boundary and too many people sat round it means individual shots have to be very tight. feels claustrophobic.

Always liked Susanna on the telly in a phwoar! kind of way then I worked with her last year and found her really annoying. Yep! I must be ghey.

[Mr. Potato Head]

My girlfriend was furious this morning. I took the opportunity to have a good old morning troll which cheered me up no end.

Worst "I've met Susanna Reid" post ever.

I switched over to have a nosey and there was Andy Peters with a 'wheel of cash' and that said it all for me. Even the lovely Susanna couldn't convince me to stay tuned.

Susanna who?

Didn't look bad until the 16 kids story, highlighted that it is the journalism that is killing it.

And why did she look so orange?

Someone described it as council TV, most appropriate.

[wolfracesonic]

Just had another look this morning, Susanna's voice may be saying 'Here is the latest news' but her eyes are saying 'Oh st, what have I done!'. And why so many presenters? It's like Whack-a-mole when they're reading the news, one disappears, up pops another one. I don't think the camera set up is quite right, the presenters are either too close or so far away it could be anybody sat there. A little finessing required methinks.

I'm in my 50s and have been a TV Cameraman for over a quarter of a century. I have lost count of the number of times some, who has just graduated from college, production type wants to reinvent television.

We grin and bear it knowing that within weeks or less we'll be back to doing it the way the rule book said back when the BBC started.

So there is something wrong with the camera work then, it's not just me. Are there any basic rules or a best practice that has evolved over the years for camera angles etc. for this type of programme, that Good Morning Britain seems to want to avoid?

[Riley Blue]

Did anyone else think that Susanna looked very uncomfortable in her new surroundings?

I love that the BBC have written an article on the show and found the most horrific and unflattering photo of Susanna Reid they could lay their hands on. It's so bad it almost looks photoshopped
