As those familiar with morning routine will testify, I don't watch GMTV. Well, occasionally I flick over but it's always brief because I can't stomach Fiona Phillips. She really is the most inane woman on television. Paired with Andrew Castle they're Dumb and Dumber. He's shocking. And stupid. Anything for a comedy link, even if it is about people worried their life savings may vanish so are queuing outside Northern Rock - oh, ha ha ha, they might be there a while, etc. So inappropriate.
Surely now this station has landed the biggest fine in TV history it's time for a shake-up. Does Fiona Phillips only have this high-profile job because she's married to the boss? There honestly can be no other reason. I don't know a single soul who likes her, even people who work there.
She's very good at the ditzy mum act, but don't be fooled. This is a ruthless martinet who's trampled her way to the top. And she's a bit thick. But here she is, ruining about two million lives a day.
Then again, Kate Garraway is no better. I used to think she was a refreshing antidote to Phillips, but with her professional tired new mother routine, her bizarre marriage to therapist to the stars Derek Draper and her speech impediment, she's just tiresome. And she's another shameless linker too. I hated Eamonn Holmes, but realising what he had to put up with I almost feel sorry for him. Actually, I don't.
As for those weather girls. It's great to have trained meteorologists presenting the weather in an informed and knowledgeable fashion, isn't it? I really trust them. Oh I must stop or I might explode.
