GMTV Review

Overall Rating

None

I think GMTV is appalling. It has the perfect balance of banal commentary and insipid presenters to make getting up in the morning even more painful. I switched on by mistake today and was reminded afresh as to why I never bother to watch the drivel. Staying with the channel to watch the football reports covering Liverpool's win over AC Milan, I witnessed the rather embarrassing attempt at, at best, comedy which saw presenters and reporter donning curly, Harry Enfield-esque wigs and moustaches in a nod to an outdated stereotype. Liverpool is probably the friendliest and most open city in the UK and far from keeping scouseers in a box from where they can be poked fun at for their silly accent and ways, the southern-based director-presenters-reporter team showed the Liverpudlians to be magnanimous and themselves to be reactionary and closed-minded. PS I'm not from Liverpool but had four happy years in that great city.
