Agree with this. I used to watch it and enjoy when Richard and Judy, then Eamonn and Ruth presented, but now can't bear to watch it. Caught sight of today's duo, my god, what has Josie done to her face! She was laughing yet her face didn't move
Yes.
Many are saying the format is dated, which I agree with, but I still think there's a place for it.
Above all else, it needs to be presented by journalists. Richard and Judy, Fern, and Eammon and Ruth are all the best presenters the show has had, and they're all journalists.
I don't know what direction the show needs to go in but it should be light current affairs while still being slightly entertaining.
I would watch someone having a serious conversation about something they've been through.
But the current show would rather us watch that elderly woman they kept having on who is clearly being used by her much younger boyfriend. Because apparently it's funny when she talks about having sex, despite the fact she's clearly not mentally well.
The show needs a complete overhaul. Get a new Denise Robertson, some new chefs, some new talking heads and new presenters. Erase all traces of P&H, Alison, Dermot etc.
I would love for Fern to come back with her own show. I'm sure she could present it herself.
