Will it not be online at itv.com on their watch online facility?

I'll watch it live. I'm that committed.

Good lad, Junaid! Glad to see you're still dedicated.

I'll video it - not high tech enough to have anything like sky+.

Thanks for letting us know, Kate.

Wish I could too but some of us have jobs to go to.

Ah, tame excuse. Jobs. Pfft.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll try and make sure I watch it.

Nono, the correct response is "a PhD is worse than a job, it's practically slave labour!", or words to that effect. Otherwise people might cotton on that we don't really do anything...

Me too, unless I get moved on again.

Good lad Kai. When I was at school I'd skive to watch a-ha (80s pop band, best known for cartoon video Take on Me) on This Morning and the likes. I guess that's why I never went to Oxford or Cambridge...

Ev and I used to skive off school on Monday afternoons to watch Countdown. Also we once organised a mass skive from a maths lesson to watch Chris Cummins. I'm not really sure whether this corroborates or contradicts your point, but anyway.

Cheers for the heads-up on this Kate, really useful to know stuff like this in advance.

You're welcome
You may be interested to read the double page spread on Jeff and Rachel in today's Sun and The Mirror newspapers. Plus, have you all seen the trailers going out on C4? I am soooo excited about Monday! Is working meant to be this good?!

Very nice piece on This Morning. I think I'm in love. With Jeff.

Spoiler alert: there's a clip from Monday's game which shows the first numbers game and the score thereafter.

Liking his style - looking forward to Monday

can't believe Jeff said Rachel wrote "one from the top shelf" instead of "one from the top!" on her application form... hilarious!

Was it just me or did everyone involved seem slightly nervous and uncomfortable? Understandable in Rachel's case, but even Fern Britton wasn't her normal gregarious self. Her futile struggle to pronounce the word 'encyclopaedic' made her come across more like Judy Finnegan.

Taking a wild guess, I'd say it was just you.

I've been onto the itv website and their catch up service doesn't include This Morning which is a pain. Anybody know where I could find it?

Star man. Great clip and nice to see the set. Is it me or do the contestants look further away from the camera than usual - or is that just because the clock is coming to a close?

Hmm, not sure... but a-ha were on daytime TV a LOT during their prime, so I see it as a valid excuse for life not taking me to great places! (Rather than take the blame myself.)
Thanks Jason for the YouTube link. Bless YouTube, none of us need skive anything ever again, thus realising our full potentials.
Good to see Jeff and Rachel... I must admit the clip does feel very odd to watch , but they are both nice and I'll get used to them.

Thanks Jacob. That saved me having to search through my recording of the whole programme.

I now understand a rather disparaging comment one of my young pupils made about Jeff Stelling when he came for a lesson last Sunday morning. Knowing now that Jeff's home town is Hartlepool, I can well see that Jeff's comments after my pupil's team, Stoke, had just been knocked out of the FA Cup by Hartlepool might not have been to his taste.

I watched it live today and really enjoyed the chemistry between Jeff and Rachel. It has really whetted my appetite for Monday.

It's a fairly safe prediction that Jeff might be abe to hear what the contestants are saying too!

Allan.

Thank you for letting us know, Kate!

By the way, why haven't I heard from you?

The user just removed that video!

I would love to see what kind of a person Rachel Riley is, but it looks like I won't get that chance just yet!

It was posted 2 days ago.

Why did they have to remove it so quickly?

It's been removed and uploaded again once or twice, first time because there was no sound, second time, well, I don't know. Anyway, it appears to be back again:

Jacob, I just saw the clip, and I must say, Rachel Riley's got an infectious personality! She seems a lot older than 22!

I wouldn't dare to bid $1 on her autograph!

I am now definitely looking forward to the new series!

Thanks for the link Jacob as I missed the interview last week. It's nice to have an idea of Jeff and Rachel's personality before the new show starts on Monday.

I saw a picture of Rachel back when she was in high school sticking out a part of her body that she shouldn't have (Hint: It's in her mouth.) That was much less classy than she really is of her to do that.

However, after I read all the good things you have said about her here, and had a phone conversation with Sarah Foulkes (one of the associate producers,) it made me not judge that book by its cover!

Sarah emphatically said to me, "She's great."

Her left palatine tonsil? Filthy girl!

No, Pete!

It's something she shouldn't bite while she's eating -- her tongue.

You would think that on her last day of high school they would tell her to be a little bit more civil, but that time has passed now.

Thank you, Sarah Foulkes!
