They should have just kept quiet, it’s not as if anyone was watching!

Did anyone have Anton Du Beke and Steph McGovern singing about "bang bang chicken" on their 2020 bingo card?

No, but then again, I don't have this show on my 2020 "essential programming" card, so...

Why are people talking about ‘essential’ regarding these TV shows? They don’t have to be. Like all of us, you can go into work if it can’t be done at home.

Heaven knows I’m grateful for TV programmes that aren’t ‘essential’ still being on air.

I think after months of Zoom television, people want TV that looks like TV. It can't solely be news and current affairs that can remain on air, you do need light relief as well.

The problem with that big window is that when the weather outside is as awful as it has been today it makes the whole set look gloomy.


I do like a big window in a tv studio though, takes me back to Daybreak and all the issues they had. Still don't understand if TODAY can do it in NYC, why we can't seem to solve it here. If they could sort it out, Steph's studio would be great for a Big Breakfast sort of show and get things out of the studio and into that dock area. When its dark they could shoot into the studio and then turn and use the windows when it gets lighter. "Don't phone, it's just for fun"

This Morning interviewing Anton du Beke from a dressing room in Leeds a couple of hours before he appears on Packed Lunch probably sums up everything we've said about the show.

At least Packed Lunch are having guests - more than This Morning, who are sticking to contributors only.

I'd say This Morning are probably being far more responsible. Can't believe Packed Lunch still has their small audience.

Do the ‘regulars’ (Anton, Russell, Miquita etc) stay over in Leeds if they’re on the show a few days in a row or is it a trip down the M1 and back every day?

Anton probably stayed in Leeds overnight considering he was on This Morning at 10am.

No ITV Daytime programme has not had studio guests for months. Only presenters and regular contributors.
