Perhaps the main problem with the original GMTV format was that it had an overwhelmingly yuppie feel to it, at a time when yuppiness(?!) had not long gone out of fashion.
It had a weird juxtaposition too, trying to be taken seriously on its journalistic merit yet with a painfully forced mild wackiness. A wackiness which I felt was as a misguided response to The Big Breakfast.
I suppose the format change to immitate TV-am was a wise move, but also a lazy one.
Old clips of any TV progs are interesting I believe. To see how 'tele' has evolved is particularly relevent nowadays, as if we are not too careful, tv as we know it will be very different - assuming it survives the multi channel revolution, and the on-line attack!. Thank You for your comments.
love the bit where the random greengrocer gives out a grapefruit to a woman. just what you want at 6 in the morning!

I like looking at clips of GMTV to see how it's evolved through the years. I love the music on this.
