So Richard Madeley is to replace Piers Morgan from June!

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

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

I thought Graham’s advice was better.

this can only end well

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

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

I remember having the day off work occasionally to watch it

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.

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've watched BBC since Richard and Judy left the morning programme. I used to laugh at their bickering
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 is funny bye bye Mark then

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

I call it scraping the barrel.

Urmstongran ???
You are on top form today ?

I heard that she used to put him in his place on air.
Perhaps they were successful as a duo but he would be too anodyne on his own.

Callistemon, they were the original hosts of This Morning

Urmstongran, that is spot on

I feel sorry for poor Judy he randomly tells everyone about their private life and we don't have the honour of seeing her scowling at him if he is on his own

Can't wait, great choice! Always entertaining! GMB is going down the plughole without Piers atm. Say what you like about RM, but I bet the ratings will go back up with him presenting.

Didn't he and his wife used to present it years ago?

I'm not sure, have very rarely watched it.

I love Richard Madeley, but he will be utterly crap at serious news stuff.
It will be good for ratings though I should imagine.
I might have a little look, but I can't stand SR

My son Found himself in the same hotel as R M ? In Australia and said hello ....got a filthy look for his pains,

Interesting, isn't it, that some whose screen personae are friendly and chatty, sometimes even very amusing are just plain rude in real life.

I have a soft spot for Richard . He's like an embarrassing uncle (and yes, I'm sure that Alan Partridge is modelled on him to some extent), but I get the impression that he means well but is just a bit clumsy about how he puts things across.

I won't be watching, but just because I only watch early morning TV if I have an appointment somewhere and need to see the local news in case of train delays or similar.

His interview technique is pretty dire!

A classic Richardism:

“So tell me, in your own words - we only have just about 30 seconds left, why you chose to do that - briefly please because we only have a few seconds left and we're very quickly running out of time..."

Guest: "well I did it because..."

Richard: "I'm very sorry to cut you off but we ran out of time”
