Great to see this again... I was actually operating a camera on this 1st show!
How was it working on the show
@@kaw203 Exciting times... the studios were pretty much state of the art for 1983 and camera guys used to swap between a month in the studio and a month on the road doing ENG News (early days). This first show was odd for me because I was upstairs in the newsroom doing the Robert Key shot which felt like you were missing out on the main studio. A lot of people hated the 0430 to 1030 shifts, but I liked them because I had no problem sleeping during the day! It was always an 'interesting' place to work. Some years later I moved on to shoot the very first story on Sky News... so I've got a soft spot for start-ups!
@@extrashot how many years did you work for tv-am ?
@@gavinmartin5151 I started there just before they went on air in January 1983 and left when all the technicians were sacked following an industrial dispute in February 1988. There's a good history here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV-am
@@extrashot oh i guess that must have been awful for you, because the sacked technicians stood outside the tv-am studios even before anne diamond stood down hosting good morning britain in november 1988, and the sacked technicians were not very nice at anne diamond and lizzie webb when they arrive at the tv-am studios but i guess you stood outside the tv-am studios on thursday 31st of december 1992 please that tv-am was off the air for good but here is a link to the documentary called one day in the life of television ua-cam.com/video/NU8YMn5wLZc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FrankChickens
God, that music goes through me like a cold needle. Why? Not because it's bad; I quite like it. I like the nostalgia; I like the 80s synths. It just reminds me of plonking myself on the sofa, lacking sleep, not wanting to go to school and hoping my mother makes my porridge correctly. Oh school... no... no... no...
anna ford looks amazing
Yep😍
Yes, very beautiful woman. Can't understand why she was mad when those bikini photos were published
I like how they really made the point that they would donate the proceeds of the first ad break to charity... and there was only one 20 second ad in it...
Remember that music. And the eggs in the cups at the end of the program.
I remember first seeing this! Getting ready for primary school. Then 10 years later the new morning show with Eamonn Holmes! Which I cannot remember the name of.
Going back to 1983 never forget Roland Rat.
+Joe McConnell the breakfast show with Eamonn Holmes was GMTV
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 That's right GMTV. Thanks mate.
It’s Been 40 Years Since TV-AM’s First Broadcast!!!
The only thing you could never fault TV-am on was that beautiful set.
They had no budget at all
greatest tv breakfast show tv am great present is well every present r.i.p sad its off air l grew up as a teenager and loved it
Brings back amazing memories of early 1983 for me
What an intro!
It was Nick Owen and Anne Diamond that got this of the ground, and Jayne Irvine reading the News oh and Wincey.
Sorry it was the pannel you see, the likes of David Frost, Anna Ford, Michael Parkinson, Angela Rippon, and a few others. Anne and Nick came about 6 months to a year later, when David Frost and Anna Ford left.
Nah, it was Roland Rat.
The only thing TV-am EVER got right was that set. It was absolutely beautiful. And then they ruined it before they lost the licence in the early 1990's
Thanks so much for this upload
Thanks for this upload
40 years later a history in the making
The names Daybreak and Good Morning Britain just keep being regurgitated!
At 16:16 Liverpool play their first Sunday game of football (Spurs refused to do so!). How times have changed! Plus, the ever beautiful Anna Ford!
This how This Morning show very first started back in 1983,Used be called TV AM,Good Morning Britain,David Frost, Anna Ford, Michael Parkinson, Angela Rippon and Robert Kee,They where the original presenters back in the days,Also do remember Lorraine Kelly as well,She was on some of the early shows as well
Quite possibly the best weather report I have ever seen!
I remember that like it was yesterday.
I moved from the UK in 2009 (to Canada) when i went back (2016) the TV had all the same adverts, UK TV doesnt really change over many years....
For those that dont know, this whole program was thought up by David Frost, it had the same titles and music for about 10 years (i think), looking back, people were normal.... the whole planet has gone nuts in the past 10 years
Yes dispite all the sackings & upheaval, the music, clock & intro stayed the same until the end in 1992. Daybreak only last a few months but even the music to that went over to Frost on Sunday.
It had terrible ratings... It was that irritating Roland rat that apparently saved it.
“All the same adverts”. Nonsense comment. The adverts change constantly in the UK. Product advertising doesn’t say stagnant for a decade anywhere, and certainly not in Britain.
@@mildredsparks6684 Sure... you know everything i saw i clearly am mentally insane and have no idea what i am saying OR i am right as i saw it and remember it from 2009 and 2016, i moved out of the UK as nothing changed the 30+ years i was in it, on taking a break and coming back it confirmed what i knew and the reason i moved. The TV adverts in 2009 were still playing in 2016, The morning TV program were running THE SAME AD's !!!
TV-AM Is 40 Years Old!!!
The first few minutes with Frost & Co is like a masterclass in varieties of insufferability. You could practically have run a Eurovision vote on who was fullest of their own importance.
I'm pretty sure that each of them were hired to throw their weight behind the project but ok its entirely possible that their attempts to make the program sound authoritative seemed like pomposity.
What stands out to me is how keen ITV were in those early days of TV-am to look like a serious rival to the BBC. Only a year or two later and the pretense of an exclusively high brow effort was dropped.
Daybreak and Good Morning Britain (GMB) would later become their own separate network services after GMTV shut down and when since the early 9os Lorraine Kelly started hosting the 8.30-9.25am closedown slot in 2010 and 2014 respectively
Legends!
i was 5 year old when this was first aired
All legends 👍
I remember getting up to watch this 😄
Me too 👍
1983, a terrible terrifying time moving to London after 27 years in the County of Essex, been in London ever since.
+Jack Sugden i don't remember tv-am
Breakfast TV existed in the US since the 1950s.
Just watching some of the news stories early in this video - easy to forget you couldn't buy fresh milk in supermarkets back then.... we were reliant on the milkman.
Love it 😊
Happy Birthday
Worked on the MR2 vtr's they had quite a few as the adds for the separate regions were different.
Great idea with totally disastrous "casting" - for casting is really what it was. Reason? Absolutely no idea what (or, more importantly, who) people wanted to see first thing in the morning as they geared up for yet another working day. Radio gave all clues needed, but no TV-AM producer was listening, clearly.
The total chaos that soon followed was predictable (well, with hindsight ;)
Woke up especially to watch this
I don't remember seeing this very first episode, I probably started properly watching TV am around 1984 / 85 when Anne Diamond Nick Owen were presenting as it made it's breakthrough around that time, not a fan of this very first episode I'm afraid. Good Morning Britain of the modern day is very good though, Susanna Reid, Adil Ray, Ben Shephard, etc. are very good, have never been a Piers Morgan fan though, but his Life Stories programme is very good, but I still reminisce about the 80s version as I was 11 when TV am first aired.
Can anyone find the clip of David Frost talking to someone via satellite link and had problems with the connection, so he shouts louder? I think it might have been shown on It'll be Alright On The Night or similar

The daybreak set looks like a doctors surgery reception and the programme just as dreary and gmb zzzzzzz no wonder they revamped it though Anna Ford looked beautiful and sounded very relaxed
Do you have the whole broadcast there was a version on here, but that’s no longer available
This is comedy gold
No actors in the first ads because of an Equity strike over efforts to pay actors less for adverts on TV AM and Channel 4 as it was assumed they have less viewers
By god they wouldn’t have been donating much from those ad breaks seeing the dispute with Equity
that;s what you want before you have woken up , TV that really makes you think
Does anyone know the name of music at 3.17? thank you.
It's by David Dundas and is known as "Daybreak". It can be heard in full on longer videos of the TV-am "startup" slide. For example, see the video called "1980s - IBA Broadcast card for TV-AM Good Morning Britain".
They started as the Sunday times and finished the Sunday magazine pull out in the news of the world 😂
Was always on when getting ready for school in the early 80s. Is that Anna Ford? Very posh totty
It is indeed Anna Ford.
milk in a pub! WHY IS THIS STILL NOT A THING!
I remember 1982 egg behind 1983 egg end of the year
Before t.v. was totally dumbed down
My mum was 18 when this aired and I was born 5 years later in April 1988.
917 pigeons? What, someone count them did they?
Considering these five were the shareholders, they're coming across like they don't believe in it. What's all this "for the first month" and "for the first few months" garbage? It's as if they're just dipping their toes in, and only doing it until they can afford to get someone else to do it.
Poor, this, and no wonder it did nothing until this lot were got rid of and a revamp was carried out a few months in.
I think I'm right in saying that they were each contracted to six month's presenting per year. So they were going to rotate the line-up to accommodate for who was on shift and who was on holiday. But they were apparently awarding themselves vastly overinflated pay packets for the honour. Which is what led Timothy Aitkin to sack Angela Rippon and Anna Ford, to save the company a lot of money. They dared to put themselves in the firing line, by breaking the terms of their contract on speaking publicly about internal matters concerning the company, and he made sure the bullets hit their targets.
@@97channel both women were paid vastly less than their male colleagues and found out due to an administration error when the wrong person's letters were addressed to them
Within weeks of starting TV-AM was in trouble, the chairman had quit, Anna and Angela had been sacked (for publicaly airing their grevences) but ot pulled through began to make a good proffit and it stayed on air for 10 years before it was replaced by GMTV after the next round of franchise bids.
Until it came in full circle in 2014 with its revival
Why was there no TV-PM?
Because the individual local ITV franchises already broadcast in the afternoon and evenings in their respective regions. TV-AM was a national broadcaster that operated in the mornings.
Bring it back
No
@@jackbrown4120 WHY?
@@DEC19775 because only getting people of wealth to host British TV is outdated and boring and here's the proof.
Did the woman get her kids back at 30 mins or so in.
ITV really brought out the big guns to challenge the BBC's Breakfast Time
40 yeara ago today
39:15 Have to say, Anna's changed a lot since then 😅
the lag of the daybreak intro is because of the limitations of CGI at the time (like big idea and that one violent japanese kids show)
It's not rendered in realtime though - they could've doubled the framerate if they'd let the rendering run for twice as long.
It's just cheaper to spit out half the frames in half the time.
Suprised only 520 views
Ironic, since that was probably more viewers TV-am had a few months later.
“You’re listening to today’s farmer, tell us about your infected spinal column in a bap”
Wonder where the good morning Britain made by the people in the field actually was??
David Frost says it at the beginning 6000 odd from Bristol on a Sunday morning 🌄
@@gary3561 👍👍👍
It was the Downs' in Bristol. I was in the crowd with my grandad and sister (I was 9 years old so can't remember which letter)
wincey willis, and here is the news with gordon honeycomb.
Hard to believe this was over 40 years ago.
I really liked TVAM, it had a nicer feel to it than BBC
Who doesn't want to hear about farming at 6am on a Februrary morning?
Ooo arr. I do.
optimistic times
Who gave David Philpott the job of presenting the weather. He didn’t last long when they dragged Wincey down from Tyne Tees
David Philpott's weather report is so bad it's hilarious. Barking information from a creased sheet of printer paper whilst simultaneously scowling (because remember this is serious weather for farmers and people traveling across the continent). His tone and demeanor feels like he's bollocking the audience for something they've done
I'm sure I tuned to some of this on it first broadcast, as a 14/15 yo. What was that weather forecast all about? Pretty incomprehensible word salad.
14:50

A lot of men wearing suits the women were more informally dressed and that weather guy good grief.
God, how stuffy was this??!!!!
Watching TV-am every morning for at least eight years is what the Americans call cruel and unusual punishment.
David Frost being very handsy with both Angela and Anna, couldn't get away with that today
Really? Do tell!
That set looks so dated now
Cos it is... Duh
@@jackbrown4120 “cos it is”? What kind of response is that?
God, it was terrible. All of it. "Jose".
So far as I know, that's the correct Portuguese pronunciation of José (or at least, the usual English version of the correct Portuguese pronunciation). It would have been different if the José in the story had been Spanish.
As it happened, no one was interested
very stiff
News presenter more wooden than an entire forest…
sadly all gone by xmas and replaced by a rat
Which was all for the best, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted much past 85.
@@80sandretrogubbins25 very true
News propaganda vehicle.
no wonder it failed with dusty old plummy accents on the first show, did they even know the type of people who watch daytime tv, sitting there in their soiled jersey pants waiting for their benefits to go in :-(
It's when they had Francis Wilson on breakfast time and they brought out that up his own **** Commander David Philpott.
It didnt fail, this program went on for many 10's of years... and then was re-invested in 2014
@@contactATashleygriffin Tv-am itself ultimately did fail - it lost out on its bid to continue broadcasting breakfast television in 1992 after the Thatcher implemented shake up of Independent television. Gmtv which replaced it was put together by a consortium known as Sunrise television which outbid TV am for the Itv breakfast franchise. It struggled until it started to re- hire ex TV -am presenting staff. The programmes to this very day might appear the same or very similar- but behind the scenes TV am got a very raw deal and didn't deserve their execution in 1992.
@@byronmills5952 Thats interesting, i left school in 1989, so 1992 i was not "watching" morning TV, however it was on the background, so later seeing the same presenters i assumed it was the same program. I do remember the change though (TV AM to GMTV), didnt think much of it, but as you say, generally behind the scenes its never a good thing.
All white and mostly RP. Sticks out like a sore thumb now…
