Daybreak It couldn't be any worse

[Adrian W]

Thunderbirds puppets would be less wooden, the pregnant pauses seem to go on for ever, how did these two ever land the anchor jobs. Over to the BBC I think.

Even though GMTV was on in the background while I did stuff in the mornings before work, it always seemed to be with practiced precision and smoothness, I don’t even know the presenters names but the news reader who left recently made me laugh. The new lot seem like the local amateur dramatics group and was cringingly painful to watch.

It's crap, wonder how the viewing numbers will fare?

[illmonkey]

What was it 'Cool things before school' or something?

What a load of drivel. I hated GM.TV, I hate this more.

Please bring back Penny Smith, brightened my mornings.
God, this show stank to high heaven.

no mention of the pedal powered Auto Union Type C ? jeeez..

What was the 5- a day thing about?

[TonyHetherington]

I saw 5 minutes of it, just out of curiosity. It certainly seemed like their first day, but that aside, by God it was genericly bad.

But then again, I never liked the one show.

The only shows I think work really well are Saturday Morning Kitchen live, and Something For The Weekend.

Add Two and a half men, and you're spot on

If this is the program I think it is, i've never been able to understand how that muppet Chiles has got tv work.

Whenever I saw him on the One Show (not that I watch it, but family do) it pissed me off. He has a face that resembles a picture of someone that has been screwed up then straightened up again, mixed with the face of a Bulldog chewing a wasp. I cannot stand him as he is frikkin useless. And he badgers on about football all the time. Idiot.

I dont watch it, but going by The One Show, Adrian Chiles is totally useless.

Roland Rat had Chiles a treat when he appeared on The One show

i dont think i have switched on the TV before work a single tiem for the last 3 years (always in a rush)

might make an effort tom tho

[TonyHetherington]

Christine's legs would make it worth it.

To be honest, yesterday was the first time I'd switched a TV on before work in probably the same amount of time

[Roo]

Tried watching it again this morning to give them the benefit of doubt.

He's a dour faced mumblimg Brummie and her accent just grates at that time of the morning.

I thought this was meant to be their idea of serious morning journalism?

Load of old ste. I've now resorted to watching the BBC.

[elster]

I can't watch the BBC as they try to be pally while also trying to be professional journalists failing miserably.
I can't watch sky as if I see one more live feed from a celebs house I would be suicidal.
I tried daybreak, it is sky news mixed with the extra cheese of GMTV.

I hope it improves, but I can't stand the constant flicking from one thing to the next, the whole celeb based news and the guest on monday was shocking.

[Speckle]

Watched it for the first time this morning and wasn't terribly impressed! Hopefully, things will improve as they 'settle in'.

Apparently he's been ordered to cheer up. If they wanted "cheerful" then they picked the wrong person.

They would look better as earrings

Cheer up? With the money he is getting you would think he would be grinning more than Blair.
