There's been too much focus recently on just the presenters and Television Centre which GMB and SNT also play on too. Get the shows identity back and refresh it as a new beginning. September will likely be the best time to do this. The heart of the show and its warmth needs to make a welcome return, something that's been missing since the Fern Britton days.
I don't see the point of returning to the waterside theme considering they're nowhere near a body of water.
I don't think the show will ever return to what it was like with Richard and Judy but I think they've a good decision going with a pairing that is similar in age because it restores the balance whereas I never thought Holly and Phil were an equal partnership.
