I bet Katie Hopkins has approached them for work. I don’t think they would employ her, Neil says it is not going to be a Fox News. What has happened to her? I know the Mail sacked her, and LBC. Twitter binned her. Last I saw she was doing a lot of pro-Trump work for the US audience, trying to worm her way in there. But that has dried up now. I bet she is champing at the big to get on GB news.

Hopkins too risky for an Ofcom approved show. I found her amusing back in the mid 2010s as a wind up merchant but she's moved on from that to the far right which is a step too far.
 
I just watched a bit of Andrew Neil. It was pretty good and he made a lot of good points, but the bloody production values are still terrible. Half the time the mics aren’t working and no one does anything about it.

OMG! Hahahaha this gets even better. Now you can hear Dan Wootton shouting at the floor manager and the producers over the frozen opening credits 😂😂😂😂
 
Dan shouting live on a frozen screen to the production crew "guys can you hear me? I need to know if this autocue is going to work"

Tbh I imagine skilled people is in short supply so they've got lots of people that are still learning and they've rushed to launch to coincide with the lockdown extension.

The Audio is getting better with each day, they'll soon be up to broadcast standard 😆

Andrew Neil looks like he’s presenting from the inside of one of those LED infinity coffee tables from B&M.
Andrews setup is by far the worst. It really wouldn't take much to make it look decent enough.
 
Sound still an issue for me as it's inconsistent - quite often having to adjust the volume on my remote - one minute too quiet and then the next it's too loud.

And as I say that they mess up the fading of bed jingle to drown out Dan...maybe it wasn't a mistake 😆

Don't like the weatherman's clothes.

Oh yes the sound it still bad, but not quite as bad as it was. Low bar and all that
 
I was saying this to someone yesterday. Piers isn’t stupid, he’s obviously going to edge his bets and see how it’s going to work out. I think the issue with Piers is he wants to be centre of attention. I can quickly see if he joins this becoming the Piers show, and I don’t think that’s the direction of travel GB News will go.

I think there is some strong talent there, but it’s being let down by some of the weaker presenters. It certainly needs time to bed in,
I think Colin Brazier and Simon McCoy could present their own shows without help on the sofa.
