The GMTV Thread

*sigh* Everyone is so anti-Andrew on this forum. It's not fair.

There's been a new GMTV trail running at the moment and it features all the presenters laughing, joking, waving and having a good time all round -- what better way would anyone want to wake up/go to bed in the morning?

Well Andrew Castle went up in my estimation during his stint on Wimbledon, but I still think that Ben is better and he's quite a good presenting with Kate
I still think Lorraine should do a few stints on GMTV Today

I think Andrew's a very good presenter, but I like Ben also. I'd personally hate to see Lorraine on today, she'd be better filling in for something like This Morning.

Regarding that picture, what a prat Fiona is.

Why do you think that many people were happy when Good Morning Britain ended?

Well I think Lorraine is better than Fiona she should be given a chance to do slightly more serious items again

Is GMTV widescreen yet?

No GMTV isn't Widescreen (16:9) and wont be for the forseeable future. This is because much of their output is studio based with guests, and a tight portrait shot in 'sqaure' 4:3 is more appropriate.

It's the same reason why Parkinson on BBC One is still made in 4:3.

John and Carla have been doing the News Hour this week with Kate and Andrew on GMTV Today and Amanda reading the news

Next week it's the same except Penny is back

The following week its the News Hour with John and Penny, GMTV Today with Eammon and Fiona and the return of LK Today presented by Lorraine Kelly!

Has anyone seen the trailers for the News Hour? It seems as if it has a new look.

GMTV needs a new look - get rid of that god awful backdrop for god's sake!!

Im not sure whether they should get rid of the backdrop. Its nice; its still and a light colour. I didnt like it much when they presented the show for a couple of days from the london today/tonight studio; i.e. they put the GMTV sofa in front of the london today/tonight live projections. It was anice change having proper scenes but it was wierd; and the metal didnt help as it made it feel cold and un GMTV like.

It was the GMTV Wedding today, and as well as that Andrew and Kate raised a glass to a great summer. Kate then added that Eammon and Fiona are back on Monday.

It'll seem a bit funny with Eammon back, bearing in mind he hasn't been on since May!
