I shan’t be tempted to tune in. What about you?

I like Richard Madeley because he seems as nuts as I am.

I watched them when they did a morning programme, Richard
got so excited if there was any discussion on sex

Yes he did! I'd forgotten that!
Do you remember when a bloke took Viagra on air, then went to a hotel with the missus, and returned to the studio to tell us all about it? ?

I've watched BBC since Richard and Judy left the morning programme. I used to laugh at their bickering grin
Never been interested in Piers Morgan, he tends to run with the hare and hunt with the hounds----like a lot of them do !

This Morning was brilliant with Richard & Judy
I used to watch it with my mate Ella when I was a student.
It's diabolical now, and certainly not in a 'so bad it's good' way

I don’t watch any of them, I dislike these magazine type morning programmes. I’m not keen on any of the presenters. They all seem to be full of themselves when I’ve seen a couple of minutes of any of these programmes.

JaneJudge Fri 23-Apr-21 10:26:57

I remember having the day off work occasionally to watch it blush

He comes across as rather liking the sound of his own voice, in my opinion.

Katyj Fri 23-Apr-21 12:22:32

I’ll be tuning in. Richard is my secret crush smile

muffinthemoo Fri 23-Apr-21 12:30:05

this can only end well

He edits the agony aunt page in Saturday’s Telegraph. It used to be Graham Norton.

I thought Graham’s advice was better.

Right, that’s Piers Morgan out of the way, now to dispose of the odious Philip Schofield grin

Galaxy Fri 23-Apr-21 12:33:32

That must be quite a burden to bear Katy wink

GrannyGravy13 Fri 23-Apr-21 13:38:51

I was hoping for Ben Shepherd ?

maddyone Fri 23-Apr-21 13:43:50

I wasn’t hoping for anyone. I don’t care who they put on morning television.

Purplepixie Fri 23-Apr-21 13:45:48

I like him and I am sure he will do a great job.

hulahoop Fri 23-Apr-21 13:46:01

Im sure there are some younger and more able to interview tactfully than him ,he is full of himself .

Anniebach Fri 23-Apr-21 13:53:10

FannyCornforth yes I remember the viagra morning ?

Jaxjacky Fri 23-Apr-21 13:53:23

We watch the BBC, briefly.

Knittynatter Fri 23-Apr-21 14:43:27

Oh my gosh that’s dreadful news.

Kim19 Fri 23-Apr-21 14:51:01

That's disappointing. I find him somewhat wet and insipid. Quite like the guy who's doing it at the moment. I liked Piers direct questions but not his manner. Mmmmm......

nadateturbe Fri 23-Apr-21 15:00:16

I quite liked Richard when he and Judy did Good Morning. I shall wait and see, although I don't really watch it much.

Daisend1 Fri 23-Apr-21 15:07:52

Was RM the best ITV could come up with?

MayBee70 Fri 23-Apr-21 15:17:05

I loved This Morning when Richard and Judy hosted it. Haven’t watched it since. Judy was the brains of the two: he’s pretty rubbish without her. I miss Piers. He was the only person on tv holding the government to account over their handling of the pandemic (along withCh4 News). Something that has been forgotten due to the success of the vaccination programme.

I also have a bit of a soft spot for the floppy haired one, I did enjoy watching Richard and Judy's afternoon show, particularly when they had their book club.

I always thought he was incredibly indiscreet about their personal lives at times, I think Judy did too, I think it's quite amazing she didn't handbag him on certain occasions. I do like Judy as a presenter but I think she let it be known she'd wanted to retire for a while.
