@ohhellotroll replied: “Yes but Richard Madeley made a fool of himself again.”Richard sparked an online backlash from Good Morning Britain viewers during today’s programme as they accused his "irritating" interruptions of making interviews "impossible to listen to".The broadcaster led discussions on the ITV morning show alongside co-host Susanna Reid, and both were criticised as some interviews saw the duo and guests "talking over each other". Richard came under fire for cutting in with statements as Good Morning Britain guests attempted to speak, and some went as far as "switching off".During one segment, ITV doctor Hilary Jones joined the presenters to discuss the NHS crisis, and some fans cringed as Madeley continued to cut in while the medical professional was speaking.The doctor talked about the overwhelmed NHS and decided to share messages he had seen in a WhatsApp group from NHS staff.He began by reading one which said: "'At our hospital, we have such a long wait to get into the acute medical unit that we have a junior doctor on the roster called 'car triage'."This means they spend their whole shift checking on people waiting outside in their cars.'"As he was about to comment and elaborate, Richard clarified: "Car triage?"Hilary confirmed and was set to continue his point when Madeley went on: "So hang on, a doctor specifically assigned to go out to the car park?""Yes, to check on people in cars because there's no room in corridors..." the doctor explained."And that's the only thing that they do on their shift? They're in the car park?" the broadcaster addedThe doctor moved on to a new message, in which he explained how one concerned person had shared a story about staff being forced to kick a patient from a bed

“Andor” has packed up and moved on after the season finale aired recently. That means there’s a new void that needs to be filled by fresh “Star Wars” content on Disney+.

We’re still buzzing after the season one finale of Tony Gilroy’s fantastic “Star Wars” series “Andor,” a prequel taking place before the events of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” One of the more well-written and executed modern “Star Wars” projects that showed that there were still some untapped places that creatives could explore within the universe that feel fresh and exciting.

When you look at the current era of Disney-owned Lucasfilm, it’s difficult to argue that the high point has to be “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” The prequel film, still now, feels wholly unique from just about everything else Lucasfilm has released over the last decade. And the one-shot film has already spawned a spinoff, “Andor,” which is regarded as the best “Star Wars” TV show yet.
