The One Show

With all the issues going on over at ITV with 'This Morning' actually 'The One Show' is benefitting hugely, as it continues to be a consistently warm and familiar programme.

Headed these days by Alex Jones, who provides that anchor, it continues to be informative, warm stuff, though massively biased towards the BBC and its programmes.

Isn't ITV's 'This Morning' just an excuse at times for celebs to come on and promote their book/album/play though?

The BBC needs programmes like this in its roster, and I hope they continue to give it the exposure it deserves moving forwards.

It'll never convince me Jermaine Jenas is a TV presenter though...

Alex has zero charm, unpleasant voice . Therefore that show is wasted by having her as a presenter. So many lovely presenters could be amazing at that role !

This isn't worthy of its prime-time slot on BBC One. Most episodes are 30 minutes, but some are a hour.

The show is a mish-mash of various things, most of which are trivial, silly or dull. It often quickly switches from a serious topic to a light-hearted or silly one (or vice versa) - which makes for uncomfortable continuity.

Some of the presenters it's had are dreadful. Adrian Chiles and Matt Baker are boring; Christine Lampard is patronising and annoying.

This used to be an entertaining, light hearted magazine show with some good guests and features - Then it fell victim to the moralising box tickers and now constantly pushes social justice till it hurts. There's barely a single item on the programme that doesn't have a bias or preachy underlying message, it's like they are constantly needling the viewer be it through carefully chosen charity appeals or guests selected to push their viewpoint. A party political broadcast for the socially bewildered masquerading as a family show.

I found myself turning the TV off.

Go read a book for something actually interesting compared to bland "I love everything" presenters.

This show was enjoyable with Adrian and Christine and all they had to do was talk. Now I will not let anyone even leave it on in the background as they wait for Eastenders.

This is what happens when you have a broadcaster that has guaranteed income regardless of quality.
