I still remember as a kid, going into the room, switching the TV in and hearing this opening music as I waited to TV-AM to start, which I'd watch as I got ready for school. I must have been about 7-10 years old. So many memories.... Lizzie's work outs Wincey willis and the weather Rustie Lee's cooking Russell Grant;s stars The random chat and banter and great cast. Then as a teenager, Channel 4 brought out The Big Breakfast, which they should have kept. I remember then as a teen ager, the banana splits, Chris Evans and Gaby Rosling Now there's nothing to watch in the morning

The common theme that I'm noticing in these comments is that this opening theme brings back a lot of nostalgia for a lot of us that were born in the 80s. I wonder if any of the people that were parents back then, have any emotional attachment to this theme tune? Probably not though, as they were to worried about getting kids ready for school or getting to work on time, bills etc. 😂

When 'Good Morning Britain' replaced GMTV they should've kept the theme used in the original opening titles of TV-am's Good Morning Britain too. Although John advised the sounds were those made of a Flute and Oboe, the theme reminded me somehow of pan pipes. The theme used at present for the programme seems too harsh and brash for me, but then again when you have Piers Morgan as a presenter - perhaps it fits perfectly.

Interesting article for its time about Edward Heath, probably totally dismissed in 1984. The Tories probably shut that down, especially Leon Britton who was well aware what was going on behind the scenes back then and then losing a investigation file about the 80's scandals and conveniently losing it many years later. Changing the topic though, this programme bought back lots of memories of 80's early mornings for school, warming up by the gas fire while my school uniform being warmed up near the fireguard and chocolate ready break.

What a difference a year made for TV AM. In the previous year the breakfast station launched with a most stuffy line up with David Frost, Robert Kee, Angela Rippon, Anna Ford and Robert Kee. Only Frost and Parkinson survived into 1984, both relegated to weekends only. 1983-1985 was the worst years for TV AM, nearly becoming bankrupt, presenters not paid and London Electricity Board nearly cutting their power supply due to unpaid bills. By 1985 they had recovered a lot.
