This morning?

Off work today and watching and it just seems tense and awkward and not right between Holly & Philip Schofield

At the risk of sounding like a 'successful people podcast' switch it off! Happy successful people don't watch daytime TV Wink

I’ve had to put it on to see what’s happening! Yes she’s only just tolerating him. As pp said she’s gritting her teeth, it was making me cringe, I’ve turned it off.

There’s a whole world out there and yet you choose to waste your mornings watching that junk. Honestly

@Whyisegerythingseeminglygettingworse
TV is imo a weird combination of arousing and depressing- the brights lights and hyper voices but you're not actually doing anything. There's always something better and more rewarding to do.

@Lamelie sometimes people need screen time.,... can you not say the same for this thread on MN? It's a real waste of time but enjoyable.

The way Mumsnet is ‘better’ is that it’s interactive. There’s something incredibly passive and lowering about daytime tv.

Who? Not even on my horizon.

BOOTS52PollyPrissyPants · 11/05/2023 17:36

He has a super injunction and those vile stories about him and that young lad is shocking. There is a shit storm brewing to be sure. I never liked them either and don't watch as find him nasty and Kim let him have it when he thought he was clever having a go at her and fair play to her she said 'you wouldn't give up your wages would you when he was talking down to her about hers'. He must have something on someone up high but wish people would speak out who know things as things could have been different if people had spoke out about jimmy saville. Agree a bit of nonsense tv good for the soul at times to just chill and not worry but could not look at their faces to chill.

firsttimemumggg · 11/05/2023 18:27

@Lamelie nothing wrong with passive enjoyment.... like watching a film

QuintanaRoo · 11/05/2023 18:29

Don’t watch it but I suspect from the media that ITV are making moves to get rid and leaking this to the press.

I entirely agree and love films and watch a lot of tv. Just not in the daytime- successful and busy people have stuff to do in the light.

QuintanaRoo · 11/05/2023 18:30

She will have read the rumours about him and the runner…..not surprised she’s wanting to distance herself.

Whyisegerythingseeminglygettingworse · 11/05/2023 18:35

@QuintanaRoo But she would have known about the runner when he was with him, surely? They were really good friends

I’d be gritting my teeth as well sharing space with him after the court case. He shouldn’t have been allowed back. He should be facing charges. Unlike the super injunction he cannot cover up that he never reported

Whyisegerythingseeminglygettingworse · 11/05/2023 18:36

@Lamelie What? Not necessarily at all, I tutor in the evenings and also go to yoga, sometimes the beach for sunset then out etc etc. Some daytimes I’m at home, that’s a time when I often relax by reading books or watching tv…I’d say I’m a busy and successful person too 😂

True. And my gut feeling is that she maybe didn’t care if she didn’t think it was going to get out. Or maybe he denied it and she believed him? But if the former was true and she’s now only distancing herself due to being worried about the shit hitting the fan it says a lot about her. But I accept that might not be right…….but like you say it’s likely that she knew. There’s been rumours for years.

Oh I envy you! It’s better in the summer but I hate having to be in because it’s cold/ dark/ nothing to do. When I lived in Australia I don’t have a tv because it wasn’t cold/ dark/ nothing to do.
There are exceptions of course but I do think in general less daytime tv= more happiness. Massive correlation rather than causation of course.

This was written about in the newspapers today.

Kim Wood was interesting to hear on GB News and I believe her, plus an Irish guy. For some reason it came up on my YouTube feed.

I don't watch the programme but I might now 🤭

Calling · 12/05/2023 18:52

I mean Kim Woodburn.

LightlySearedontheRealityGrill · 12/05/2023 19:58

I hope he goes, that shagging the young boy that worked there was distasteful. The support for the pedo brother just adds to quite an ugly picture.
