Are they exempt or in a bubble or something?

Non essential THIS MORNING 😂😂. Sorry I see they split screen has been.cleared up I but couldn't pass by. Nonessential this morning! Loose women I can take or leave depending who is on.they have a new anchor so I've watched it this week.

JohnMiddleNameRedactedSwanson · 13/01/2021 10:43

Why don't you switch it off and read a book then, OP?

do you know how many WFH parents having to homeschool their kids are grateful for the BBC as well? As non-essential as it might be Hmm

Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2021 10:44

I see the vote is showing that most people on the thread think all is well with This Morning. Phew.

SunshineCake · 13/01/2021 10:44

The same as in GMB. It is clever camera work. If you look you can see there is a change in colour or item as they are not sat next to each other.

I guess we need the opium of the masses more than ever before.
from a poster on MN forum... 😂

foxredlab · 13/01/2021 10:45

Forget the vaccine! Switch off this morning and we'll all be saved! Grin

The opium of the masses?? You’re the one watching it!
Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2021 10:46

I must have missed the bit where Boris made watching daytime telly mandatory.

Hands-Face-Space-Watch Phil &Holly is it?

Fieldofyellowflowers · 13/01/2021 10:46

I'm not trying to say that television programmes should be shut down. But if you want to accuse This Morning of not being essential then you would have to accuse a lot of other programmes of also not being essential.

As it is, a lot of people need full tv schedules at the moment, myself included.

ShalomToYouJackie · 13/01/2021 10:46

Further question. Is there programme really essential? No mask wearing, guests etc.

You could say this about any TV show, shall we shut them all down?

You could always switch off and get back to War and Peace or whichever worthy tome you've currently got on the go.
drumst1ck · 13/01/2021 10:47

Literally can't cope with these threads anymore 😂

OP. TV presenter is a job. People are allowed to go to their jobs. They are considered essential. Maybe so that the staff who run all those TV shows can pay their bills Hmm

vodkaredbullgirl · 13/01/2021 10:47

The only thing about This Morning, it's stopping me from doing the housework not been touched for a week.

Me too but this one’s been quite entertaining.
Nousernamesleftatall · 13/01/2021 10:49

Ffs. I can’t take these threads. I bet they get tested regularly and they are not sick so who cares.

Mrsjayy · 13/01/2021 10:49

Oh I see dancing on Ice starts on Sunday more of that blasted non essential telly when will the madness end !

I wouldn't worry, no one can see 😂

I'm on my third furlough in under a year and in all honesty, my house looks worse than when I was actually going to work full time every day.

Housework is non essential in my head Grin

LivingMyBestLife2020 · 13/01/2021 10:51

Absolute madness.
OP, are you ok? Do you need to speak to somebody about your worries?
Unless you are in a bubble with Phil or Holly, I’d not worry yourself

vodkaredbullgirl · 13/01/2021 10:51

Well at least The Masked Singer, are wearing masks, again non essential tv.

littlefireseverywhere · 13/01/2021 10:52

Imagine if there was no lighthearted shit on TV, such as this morning. It'd be 24 hour news no stop. Not really a pleasant option is it. OP, you have the choice watch or don't, honestly no one really cares what we're doing in our homes do they?

PippinsOfPogleWood · 13/01/2021 10:53

@Lastfreakinglegs

Hmm seems to be different rules for celebrity to the masses.
Do you think everyone else is off work unless they are essential workers? So people despatching clothes in warehouses, people delivering TVs that have been ordered online, people working in offices where they need to, the people despatching the wool I've just ordered?

I think you might have misunderstood the rules. People are allowed to go to work you know, if it's not possible to work from home.

vodkaredbullgirl · 13/01/2021 10:53

I fancy homemade soup now.

Mrsjayy · 13/01/2021 10:54

Oh. Yes that is the show of the year.so far they are wearing actual masks ,!
