Just caught up with this interview. As interviews go, I didn't think it was sick inducing sycophantic stuff this time around, to be fair.
Perhaps I'm being too kind, but presenters having to be 'interested' in everything and a basic knowledge of all their guests ain't a walk in the park, providing comfort TV for sections of the more housebound population who lap this stuff up. I have had a look around the ITV studios at the BBC TV centre just from a technical interest mainly so perhaps being more sympathetic?
I understand what mortified is saying though about daytime TV that can sometimes be predictable and tedious and certainly doesn't cater for everyone. Fortunately hasn't come to that point just yet where life is about sitting in front of a TV all day.
Rossi and Schofield (matching black jeans!) go back a long way of course. Still remember Phil's enthusiasm on the kid's Saturday morning show when Quo mimed to something then they were whisked off from the TV Centre to get on their way for the 'Rock til You Drop' mini tour. Quo seemed out of place for me then as they had their time on kid's TV really with the likes of Tiswas and Swap Shop in the 70s/early 80s but somehow Phil S and I think Cheryl Baker(?) made it all look right and plausible.
