How is it possible Penny Smith looks nearly the same as when I used to watch GMTV before school some 30 yrs ago? She is 65 this yr I think...

Good genes. Also, i don't think it's difficult to look good at mid 60s, especially with her salary. Plus they have makeup artists make them up for before they go on air, so yeah it's a mix really.

Unmarried with no kids ? That's got to reduce stress levels!! :ROFLMAO: I saw Anneka Rice recently on TV and thought she looked incredible too!

Yes Anneka Rice is another one from my childhood that doesn't seem to age good spot.

Why do they keep repeating Piers Morgan's shows?
I tuned in on Friday to listen to Kevin O'Sullivan's show but it wasnt on. It was Piers interviewing Stormy Daniels.
I've just tuned in to watch The Talk. It isn't on. They are showing Piers Morgan interviewing Stormy Daniels.
:rolleyes:
 
Have they moved everyone into the London bridge building?

I know they said Morgan and Kyle would move from that west London place into it, but wasn't sure if they'd follow through considering the ratings aren't anything to write home about.

 
Jeremy Kyle rubs me up the wrong way. I don't know what it is about him, but he comes across very smug every time I see him on TV. I try listen to parts of his show because of the subjects. Mike Graham is another one who comes across as very
"Mr know it all" too.

Mike is definitely a bit of an idiot, I think being TalkRadio's flagship presenter for so long (prior to Piers, and arguably Mike is still more popular) has went to his head. I had to unfollow him on Twitter because he just tries to argue with everyone.

Kyle tries too hard IMO, bit insincere. But I actually kinda miss his energy when he's not around on the Friday morning show.

Oh yeah it's definitely gone to Mike's head. I remember him replying to someone on Twitter about what he makes and was bragging. Bit weird from a grown man. I don't dislike Jeremy or Mike, but they can grind my gears at times.
 
It's amazing how Talk TV has arguably 4 of the most smarmy and irritating presenters. Julia Hartley-Brewer, Mike Graham, Piers Morgan, and Jeremy Kyle. The less spoke about JHB the better. The arrogance of her opinion is the only one, is off the scale.
 
Seems like they have had an increase in listeners based on RAJARs. Perhaps a sign that they should go back to being radio only?
 
Even though certain presenters grate on me, i will watch segments of Jeremy Kyle, Piers Morgan and the late show with Tom Newton Dunn.

On GB News I avoid most of Dan Wooten's show because it's quite clickbaity and repetitive. I'll watch Mark Dolan's show and Headliners too on there.

You can add Tom Newton Dunn to that list, he got into quite a lot of trouble at one of the newspapers he worked at, I think it was The Times, for unfair dismissal against a female staffer ... he was a right bleep to her by all accounts. She won the case and a lot of money but in return she also signed an NDA. These media outlets sure do attract a certain 'type' don't they. 😒

Oh right. Kevin O'Sullivan seems okay by all accounts, just a bit of a misery, but that's his schtick isn't it.
 
They’ve done very well in the Rajar and that’s ever since rebranding to the new format… so it seems to be working. Great to see Vanessa’s figures high too.

Oh yeah fair play they got good names. I'm not sure how popular JHB, Mike Graham etc were before they became TalkTv, but having Piers and Jeremy Kyle prob helped a fair bit.
