So Richard Madeley is to replace Piers Morgan from June!

I can’t stand the man. Such a big head,, knows everything about everything and loves the sound of his own voice.

I remember the fuss when they wanted him to step in when Chris Evans was ever off on Radio 2. He didn’t!

Urms is spot on! His interview technique (ha!) involves speaking to his guests about himself! And don’t hold back, Fanny, tell us what you really think! ?.
Any glimpse of him only ever makes me think ?‘ Male Menopause’.

Richard M was OK with Judy but not good on his own. I think their book club is dire.

Urmstongran I’ve never watched Richard Madeley, but your description of his interview technique had me in stitches!

I have never watched Breakfast TV and don’t intend to start now.

It did Lucca, it did
I bet the producers had to fight Madeley with a sh*tty stick to stop him trialling it himself! ?

Yes it is MayBee and I have to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed a lot of their recommendations but not enough to watch RM on any tv programme.

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? ?

Please say that didn’t happen....?

The Richard and Judy book club is still going I believe.

Oh no! He’s such a smug idiot.

ever even.

Meant to add, I didn't watch Piers Morgan anyway, so probably wouldn't be tempted ever for Richard!

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.

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.

Was RM the best ITV could come up with?

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

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......

Oh my gosh that’s dreadful news.

We watch the BBC, briefly.

FannyCornforth yes I remember the viagra morning ?

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

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

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

I was hoping for Ben Shepherd ?

That must be quite a burden to bear Katy
