Good Morning Britain

Good Morning Britain

"Good Morning Britain" was TV-am's flagship breakfast television show, which broadcast from 7am until 9am five days a week between 1983 and 1992. It had many different presenters throughout its run, but eventually settled in 1990 with sports reporter Mike Morris, and regional reporter Lorraine Kelly. "Good Morning Britain" became very successful, and had very impressive ratings. According to Mike Morris, they estimated to have over 30,000 guests on the sofa over the years.

"Good Morning Britain" had a mixture of news and current affairs, weather, cartoons, music and many popular guests of the time. It also featured a popular exercise section, hosted in the early days by Michael Van Straten and Jackie Genova, and then more famously by "Mad Lizzie" Webb. The show displayed a famous yellow analogue-style clock on the bottom-right of the screen. The news was provided in-house by TV-am, but following its loss of the licence was contracted out to Sky News, from February to December 1992.

In its heyday, the programme would feature large outside broadcasts throughout the European winter/Australian summer from Bondi Beach in Australia, renaming the show " Britain".

Other presenters of the show included Chris Tarrant, Anneka Rice, Richard Keys, Kathy Tayler, Nick Owen, Anne Diamond, Jayne Irving, and initially, David Frost and Anna Ford.
