I have a guilty secret. Here seems a good place to confess. I watch Jeremy Kyle. It gets worse, I watch the daily double edition on ITV2. Worse still, I enjoy it.
We have our own Jeremy Kyle style stars in my area. They can be seen walking in to town to shoplift at Poundland. But they lack the elan of a Vicky Pollard.
It appears that ‘Daybreak’ will fail soon. Where can Adrian Chiles go next?
I suggest that with his track record he would fit comfortably into the BBC’s ‘Watchdog’ series. Not as a presenter but rather as a star on their ‘Rogue Trader’ item. Chiles is typical of a rogue trader. He is employed to rescue a show, such as TOS and Daybreak. He scrounges an exorbitant fee for his services, then walks away unscathed, having wrecked the show through his innate laziness and incompetence.
Any ideas for future employment for Adrian Chiles?
These days I enjoy TOS. It has become the show it ought to be. The Presenters have got it right and they have the skill to manage the dynamics of a live programme. The editors and producer work hard to find interesting items. It is no longer a vehicle to support the inflated egos of bland Presenters. Coming to which:
The dead hand of Adrian Chiles now flops over ‘Daybreak’. Where, assisted by Christine Bleakley and his mates on the production team, he presides over a haemorrhaging of viewers and cash. When will TV executives realise that Adrian Chiles has no discernible talent. He has no respect for or interest in producing TV of a high standard. Third rate will always do for Adrian. Providing there is someone foolish enough to pay him. Adrian has been handsomely rewarded in cash for his machinations – so far.
Christine Bleakley is an artistic simpleton.
Having read the following article in the DM, it appears to me that ‘Daybreak’ has the makings of a comic soap opera.
What Jan Moir has written about Chiles and Bleakley on ‘Daybreak’ applies throughout much of television. She says, “At the moment, [Daybreak] is just too glutinously self-reverential for its own good. It might improve when Adrian and Christine realise that Daybreak is not about them, it's about us.” I hope that Jason and Alex are able to heed her words. To me it appears that they already have. TOS is a great improvement.

Adrian Chiles claims that he did not leave the BBC to get more money, but rather that he left because the BBC was beastly to him. The wag claims she left because she wanted to stay with Adrian. I saw a pig flying over my garden this morning. Whatever the truth may be I shall not miss either of them. The licence payer can struggle by without this vacuous pair.
I have not been able to watch TOS over the last few nights. But judging on what I have seen so far Alex Jones is doing a good job. I find her increasingly watchable. I hope the BBC is able to offer her the training that the silly, greedy wag turned down.
Jason Manford has pitched his performance perfectly. He does not hog the limelight; and he injects some fun into the proceedings.
The features have improved in their presentation and content.
All in all I for one am enjoying TOS.
(From the Daily Mail)
This is good news. The BBC is saving us money. It would appear that Bleakley and Chiles have slithered onto the gravy train just as it is about to hit the buffers, for I imagine that ITV will be looking for similar savings.
I am copying from Jane Rackham in the Radio Times. She says it better than me, “With around four million viewers to keep happy each night, new presenters Jason Manford and Alex Jones certainly have some very big shoes (and stilettos) to fill as they settle down on the sofa to present their first ever edition of The One Show together.
So it will be interesting to see if the attraction of the show is its content (celebrity interviews, quirky human interest stories and consumer reports) or its presenters. Or if it was just the sort of lightweight, dip-in/dip-out magazine show that millions want to watch at this time of the evening.”
Maybe Pauline Prescott is the quirky human interest story.
