To think that This Morning should be ashamed...

.... for giving airtime to a woman who clearly has mental health problems? Getting a cheap laugh at someone’s expense seems very cruel.

This is a woman who thinks she is engaged to a ghost.

Disgusting.

Oh deary me. Don't watch it then if all you can do is moan about it . Daytime TV. Meant to be lighthearted stuff that's all. And every guest isn't forced to go on there to be ridiculed ffs. Simple.

This Morning is just Take a Break on the telly. Bloody awful dumbed down garbage for the hard of thinking. I’d rather have root canal without anaesthetic than watch that pile of unedifying shite. Why the hell does anyone watch it?

I think thats the problem to be honest. TM is/ should be a lighthearted frothy programme but it then tried to tackle very serious subjects. And the presenters just haven't got the capacity to deal with those issues.

I rarely watch it as I work fulltime but the odd day off (used to love it) when I watch it now.. i get annoyed that I've wasted two hours.

I wouldn’t mind lightweight and frothy.

I don’t class laughing at a mentally ill woman lighthearted fun 🤷‍♀️

Well, I didn't think today's was their best effort. The zombies were funny though.
But I thought the Purple Room lady has made up a ridiculous story to get on tv. I didn't feel that she was vulnerable. I'm surprised she doesn't embarrass herself.

I don’t watch it, Phil and Holly are so smug and irritating and the guests are seemingly the same people on rotation. I would love a decent daytime show with intelligent panellists talking about relevant issues properly with a bit of light entertainment thrown in, not Phil and Holly with their Orr laughing fits or the Loose Women who seemingly chatter on about things they haven’t bothered to research into before the show.

I used to like watching Kilroy back in the day. He had debates on all sorts of subjects.

My biggest gripe (I have a few) with TMand LW, is that they talk about topics that no one seems to have researched yet speak with an air of authority. They don’t even often bother to get balanced arguments by speaking to experts. It’s often just uninformed opinion.
