It was background sound partial viewing as I was getting ready most mornings. It's now called "Daybreak" and hosted by Adrian Chiles. Good to see the set is dull and grey, the background is dull and grey, and most of the presenters were mostly grey. All done no doubt to match the dull bland boring Chiles

Chiles is indeed a bland, self inflated Brummie ego on legs.

Can't stand the man.

Looked bloody ridiculous.

Top story - Farepak customers stil not receiving their payouts. Really in all the world that is the top story  Banghead

Colours on set dull beyond belief and lets have lots of fillers of the sun rising across the country  noooo:

"Turned into" implies it was, at some point, non-shite. I never observed that.

I would rather watch Fox News, as you can always guarantee a laugh at the expense of our former colonial cousins.

I watched it in preference to the Biased Broadcasting Corporation but now they seem just as bad...

And the news is dumbed down to such an appalling degree...

A brief piece on British Airways this morning required endless animations of aircraft to make the point...  noooo:

And what is the point of asking viewers for their opinion?  Banghead

"We asked earlier if you preferred tea or coffee; Ian from London sent us a text saying he preferred tea while Sophie from Richmond (laughs) send an e-mail saying coffee is the better drink"

As JOM said "background" viewing while getting ready for work. Catch the news, weather and the local travel. Sometimes the odd "magazine" type piece will get my attention.

Much the same reason as I have Radio 4 playing in the morning. I usually catch snippets of "Farming Today" and imagine DS fuming at the latest stupidity and straight into "Today" at 6 am. I turn the radio(s) off when Jenni Murray starts ranting about Breast Cancer and other wimmins issues at 10 ~ Unless there is Cricket on later it then stays off until 5pm.

Thomas the Tank Engine drove me up the wall, prolly made me what I am today.  My two eldest loved it and I now have an earworm of the amusing music that went with it.  They had tapes and it was Ringo Star reading it, christ on a bike surely they could have got someone else. Lest we forget.....
