This IS my childhood theme song! I woke up at 5am on 1984 morning- especially to get this full recording on my Granny's tape recorder. Drove my family MAD with it non stop and playing TV-AM in my bedroom ! I still have my egg cup and a mug, but sadly regret I no longer have my sweat shirt or T-shirt with the first original yummy Logo. I was mesmerised by it's colours and the effect. Didn't care much to the update. THANK YOU Cut & Thrust for this excellent remix!

Absolutely brilliant theme. Completely oustripped GMTV and new Good Morning Britain theme. Synth pan pipe sequence, so haunting and memorable. I worked for ITV for 30 years from 1980 and for me no theme tune can compete with this one.

The best tune . I used to get up at 6am to record the full version. I did speak to Jeff Wayne about doing a collectors release about 20 years ago but I couldn't make it work financially at that time . The opening sunrise jingle is actually a separate track but it works in context. He uses the same synths and orchestra string section on this as for World of Sport, ITV World Cup '82 'Matador' and 1983's BBC Sixty Minutes. The full version (of which a stereo master does exist) was already pretty well mixed with the repeat arpeggios and the mellow out section, but you've applied some nice polish :)

for kids of the 80s TV-AM represented everything that was good of that era. Safe, convivial , familiar entertainment. No odd politics , fairly factual news and a variety of top drawer guests daily for a decade. It was up beat, fun and very British of the old school without being stuffy. We were lucky to grow up with Good Morning Britain. The new abomination with the pariah of that era Piers Morgan is similar in name only.
