GMTV sinks my Steam liner!

GMTV. I think I only watch it because I’m glutton for punishment and too timid to ask to be whipped. What does the average person want out of a Breakfast news show? News? Weather? Features on forthcoming important events or issues that affect the British people? Unfortunately, you’d get more of that from an episode of ‘Postman Pat’ than on Good Morning Television.

No, instead you’ll get only three minutes of news and weather squeezed in between some odious celeb shamelessly plugging their new attempt to cling-on-to-fame fitness video/makeover show, whilst Fiona Phillips swoons over their ’strength of character’. Either that, or it’ll be some poorly researched, sensationalist tittle-tattle on fat kids or pissed-up, potentially barren women.

The only light relief you get from this froth-fest is when a soap actor badly mimes to their latest single, before talking it up as though it’s going all the way to the top. GMTV may be bloody awful, but nowhere else on TV offers this type of hilarity anymore.

However this saving grace and the recent departure of Miss Phillips, does not save GMTV from becoming the main candidate for being shutdown and thrown into the vault of TV History. Unfortunately, this won’t happen, so the only other option is to throw out your TV.

P.S. I didn’t mention a certain Scotswoman once, did I? That would be too obvious!
