Granted, I'm not a regular viewer of this show, but this set looks very dark and a bit cold/sterile for this type of show, especially in comparison to the previous set.
Also, contrary to people who thought it would be very small, on screen it actually looks very big and empty on the wide shots when it's just two people sitting on the sofa.
The titles look more like an advert, complete with tagline.
The set has certainly lost its homely feel, opting for a more minimalistic look. But I wonder if they will have a kitchen wheeled in when required on set. Or maybe the new editor wanted to get rid of the cookery segments all together.
I wonder if it was Sitting Duck Music that composed the new theme. The composition's unusual as there are elements of the previous melody there but they've changed the main sting. In a way they have now got rid of any trace of Daybreak's audio branding by changing the tune.
I think Lorraine put it best by asking where everything had gone! Even though it's a smaller set, it does look massive because there's nothing in it. The whole set looks far too dark, it looks like a dodgy nightclub.
The music isn't bad, but the titles and stings are awful. As somebody else said it looks like an advert.
Now that they've seemingly dropped the cooking segments, they would have been far, far better off using the sofa in the GMB studio with some different cushions, some accessories on the side tables, some soft pink lighting and a different background on the screens. They could have had that mini desk in the screen area as well.
