Although just occasionally the programme boasts a decent discussion and/or notable guest, for the main part this show drones on like a bout of manic depression.
If I want cookery tips I'll consult a cookbook. If I want fashion tips I'll buy a copy of Vogue and if I wanted advice, I would never call the "This Morning" agony team unless I'd been magically abducted by aliens and subsequently partially lobotomised overnight.
The trouble with magazine shows is that they attempt to squeeze far too many bulletins into the schedule, rendering this particular show rushed and exhausting. When a topic comes on that is actually half-way intelligent, it is given barely enough airtime to enable the viewer to gain much clarity before the enforced serious expressions of the presenters suddenly revert to the joyousness of competition time - ergo trivialising the nature of the previous bulletin.
Personally I find it insulting to my intelligence, not unlike most daytime TV that is pumped out for the masses and spoon-fed to those whose only interest in this life is to figure out how to pull off a pair of Primark denims whilst simultaneously baking an Alaskan pie.

This appalling program has just got worse and worse, they have a prime slot and an opportunity to inform and entertain, what do the viewers get? More and more tabloid bilge, time to re-think it?
Holly and Phil are hard to watch, it's comes across as very fake, Alison is terrible
The large majority of what's shown on This Morning isn't worthy of being on national television. There's gossip and trivia.
Some of its presenters have been awful - such as Eamonn Holmes, who's bland and boring.
Occasionally they have interesting guests on.

Thank goodness that a man who has deceived so many people has finally had to admit his deceit. How has he been able to enjoy the financial benefits of his position, while being a liar. Him and other TV presenters, including Gary Lineker, seem to think they are Teflon. Hopefully at some point the general public will manage to bring them to a point where they are made to acknowledge their "normality"
As an aside, when will the BBC be seen as an outdated monopoly?
Many other channels seem to survive by producing interesting viewing, so, why pay firstly to BBC and secondly for many individuals to make huge salaries?
