Telly Talk: Finally and about time too. This week reports have surfaced that bosses at Daybreak, or Daybroken as we now like to affectionately call it, are to ask viewers what they think, writes Tracey O’Sullivan.

While you have to wonder why they have to ask when the world and his wife could tell them, at least this is to be an official poll of opinion.

They are to send out surveys to a selected number of viewers and among the questions will be what they think of the banter between the two main hosts, Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley.

Now of course it’s embarrassing for the pair, who will also be rated out of ten, but, really, it has to be done and before they go about changing the format – if that is the plan.

But they should have asked their audience in the first place  – that way we might have avoided all this trouble and dear old grumps and his grinning sidekick could have been saved from this dose of humiliation, cellulite and extra pounds.

Yes, apparently Christine is moaning that the extra caffeine she needs to cope with the early starts is boosting that orange peel effect which women hate, while Adrian claims he is piling on the pounds.

Either it’s the symapthy vote they are after or Christine has realised that in the morning harrassed housewives want someone they feel comfortable with, rather than a glamorous WAG who makes them feel more slummy than yummy mummy.

And admitting to the physical feature that plagues every woman is one way to do it. But she may have to own up to a few more flaws before viewers take her to their hearts. This morning, dressed all in black, it looked as if she was in mourning – some kind of hint there Christine?

After this, fans will have an even softer spot for the Dan Lobb and Kate Garraway partnership, particularly after Dan’s excellent and extremely amusing interview with David Beckham in which he teased him like an old pal. The snippet, earlier this week, boosted viewing figures to almost 800,000 from a low of 500,000.

You don’t need a survey to see which way this programme needs to go.
