I'm 'working' at home and just watched this with my lunch mainly because there's nothing else on to dip into for 10 minutes.

What the actual hell is up with this programme?

I watched the segment where they had a phone-in with A-level results students. The agony aunt (Denise?) was offering advice when she clearly had no fucking clue what she was talking about. They had a girl ring in who wasn't sure if she'd been offered a place because she'd just missed her grades. Erm, maybe phone the fucking university rather than Eamonn Holmes Confused

Last Friday I watched it for about 10 minutes and had the delight of seeing Marvin and Rochelle try their hand at presenting Hmm. I can't understand a bloody word he says and she seems actually simple.

Does anybody actually watch this fucking shit? I feel like my IQ has dropped by about 20%. Eurgh.

piper, you have described cowboy builders to a T!
I thing I dislike most is after the ads ( loads of ads if its on itv 2 or 3 or whatever) they then go over what you watched less than 10 minutes ago, then pick up on Dom whats it confronting nasty builder bloke who roars of in a white van never to be seen again. ( I know CB is on 5, but all the channels do this)
I hate anything about antiques, or people trying to buy old toot and flog it on for a profit. I hate the Dickinson bloke . daytime tv is dull and boring and needs a shake up. even my beloved pointless is boring me now.
also dislike home programmes, escape to anywhere is annoying.. I listen to the radio more these days!

""because there's nothing else on to dip into for 10 minutes. ""

I'm horrified at the thought of there not being a "Come dine with me", "Dinner Date", or even an episode of The Royal/Heartbeat on somewhere, no-one should be forced to watch This Morning.

Thankfully I have "Catch Up" and have taped back up "Coach Trip" episodes, should such a crisis occur.

I went to a filming of Loose Women earlier this year on a whim so that I could sit within drooling distance of an actor I'm rather keen on. Hadnt seen it for years and years and Oh My God. I had to get my friend to wake me up when he came on, well nearly. Such DRIVEL. I couldn't bear it. How do people watch it and stay conscious?

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2015 10:47

Is it not live Shelagh? Shock How long does it take to film an hour? Who were the panel?

porkerchops · 17/08/2015 10:58

Ruth is very smug and self-satisfied. My DM really likes her and thinks she's 'luverly'. I am considering going NC with my DM for this reason.

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2015 11:04

I can't work Ruth out. She seems harmless enough and looks vaguely interested in proceedings. I can't understand what Eamonn is there for other than comedy/cringe value.

Mrsjayy · 17/08/2015 11:10

Ruth overpronuciates her Ts bother me its like cuttlery clanging apart from that i like her

ShelaghTurner · 17/08/2015 11:50

Sorry yes it was live. Took about an hour and a half because of doing links etc. Panel were.... Andrea McLean...Nadia Sawalha, Sherrie Whatshername and a blonde woman that I have no idea who she is!

TBH I wasn't watching them... Blush

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2015 11:52

Ooh no Jamelia then Shelagh so you were lucky in a way. Who was the actor?

ShelaghTurner · 17/08/2015 11:58

No, no Jamelia thank goodness! Actor is Stephen McGann .

Don't know the woman on the right?

Sparklingbrook · 17/08/2015 12:55

Jane Moore I think she's one of the least worst ones IMO. Grin

emwithme · 17/08/2015 13:21

One of the McGanns goosed me in a Tesco Metro. Not sure which one (which McGann, I mean, I know which Tesco I was in) though.

ShelaghTurner · 17/08/2015 14:30

Doesn't sound like Steve, he's far too much of a gentleman... And I'd be insanely jealous so it definitely wasn't him! Wink :o

Sometimesjustonesecond · 17/08/2015 21:35

You all need to get to Netflix and watch all the Buffy seasons from the beginning. I have spent many a happy daytime hour laughing at Spike Wink

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 21/08/2015 11:09

Not sure if Gok and Jenny are a good combo, he likes the last word.

I think Jen is a bit pissed off.

beardsrock · 21/08/2015 17:51

Laughing my ass off at your OP, so god knows how funny This Morning actually is these days Grin

beardsrock · 21/08/2015 17:54

There's a Jeremy Kyle Emergency Room??!! Shock

Now that (italics) would be worth watching.
