Well I actually missed it, but have just been shown the vid of Alex Beresford giving his take on Meghan & Harry, I must say I don’t think it’s done Piers any favours upping and walking off like that

Sean Fletcher has presented a Sunday morning programme on BBC1 with Sally someone who used to say 'bear with, bear with' in Miranda!

Never heard of Alex Beresford; watched the clip to find out who he was; not at all impressed.

I’m glad he’s gone. I used to like him. I thought his Brexit coverage was really good. Lately, however, he’s definitely got too big for his boots and I couldn’t watch any more.
I also find Susannah Reid sickeningly ‘holier than thou’ so maybe she should go too!
I wonder who will replace him? Although I’m rarely out of bed in time to watch these days!

PM has had a very very chequered career and I doubt has rarely let the truth or ethics get in the way of his ambitions - Leveson didn’t believe his account of his role in the phone hacking scandal, there was something murky about some financial trading and he also left one paper after publishing a photograph of a woman in the public eye leaving/entering a rehab facility. He’s quite a nasty piece of works imo

Piers Morgan ‘giving the true facts” - which facts were they AviaParva?
Channel 4 and radio 4 news played some of the discussion. Morgan said he didn’t believe MM’s report of her mental health problems, indicated he didn’t believe a word she said.
He’s a bully, is he modelling himself now on those American shock jock presenters. Those who shout outrageous nonsense and get paid for it.

I switched over, in dismay, from my usual BBC1 breakfast tv to Good morning Britain which I’ve never watched before and found Piers Morgan valiantly trying to give the true facts which Susannah thingy and the guy you mention totally obfuscated about. Only piers Morgan was giving the true facts. I switched the tv off and went for a long therapeutic walk.

He is a bully and should have been fired years ago. Well done Alex Beresford for standing up to him. A man with courage and integrity

Gingster what do you mean by your comment that Alex the weatherman is “getting above himself”?
I don’t watch GM Britain, so maybe I’m missing something, but surely he’s allowed to make a comment, and from the clip I’ve just seen, it looked as if several people were seated around the table having some sort of debate, and Alex was questioning PM’s comments? (I didn’t see it in its entirety, so don’t really know what was said or happened before PM was trying to shout down Alex over whatever he had said).
The phrase “getting above himself’ sounds very “classist” as in “getting above your station” - surely that’s not what you meant, was it?!

I saw it on Twitter, turned TV to see what was happening and he was there interviewing Megan's Dad? Bit confused, boring so turned it off again, can't cope with him in the morning.
However he will probably turn up on GB news now?

LauraNorder Tue 09-Mar-21 19:29:29

Just googled him, he was a sports presenter on ITV some time ago but is mostly BBC.
Come on ITV make Sean Fletcher an offer.

LauraNorder Tue 09-Mar-21 19:23:02

So does that me that the delectable Sean Fletcher might be available? If so, I might start watching GMB, although that might mean waking up earlier.

Obviously my trivia knowledge does not extend to getting peoples names correct.

Kate1949 Tue 09-Mar-21 19:20:02

I was just about to post that Jane43. I was reading about Michael yesterday.

Millie22 Tue 09-Mar-21 19:19:49

Never watch that Good Morning drivel and don't really know Alex the weatherman but now I really really like him. PM is just revolting.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 09-Mar-21 19:19:11

jane43 thank you, yes I totally got the wrong person , apologies folks.

I seem to remember a chap called Sean Fletcher on one of the morning shows. I thought he was lovely. Is he with ITV?

I think he is married to Anjelica Bell who is on with Martin Lewis, he is now a full time teacher.

Anjelica is married to Michael Underwood, He is now a teacher.

Oh thanks GG, shame, he was very pleasant, professional and, dare I say, rather easy on the eye.

I am beginning to get worried about my knowledge of trivia gringrin

I don’t watch GMB because I can’t bear PM or Susanah Reid. I have seen a clip of the performance this morning.
In my opinion Piers Morgan is a nasty egotistical oaf. I think the weatherman came across as a calm, intelligent man.
This is not about race,
PM is an oaf. Alex is a gentleman.

Piers Morgan thinks he is above all others. He is an arrogant bigot. I’m not keen on Alex either. As someone else said why is the weather man getting involved with the main presenters and ticking them off. He’s getting above himself too.

Alex is an anti racism campaigner, a close family member was stabbed and died in London last year.

All of the GMB weather reporters are generally involved with items on GMB other than the weather.
