The primative beginnings of a show that eventually became a ITV legend

I really miss this version of This Morning because I remember watching it whenever I was off sick from school but I first started School back in September 1988 when I was only 4 at that time.

Richard and Judy were the best presenters imo

The opening music was done a Casio keyboard.

Food, drink and fashion…. Marvelous. The dilemma of life in the 80s.

This doesn't feel like thirty six years ago where has the time gone it seems like it was recent.
Because thirty six years before was the early 1950s. That's amazing quality film going back in time. 😀

I found this video pop up in the search results, trying to research King Richard.
Very funny.

HaHa i love how Richards chair is pulled in front slightly...starting as he means to go on!

[JMundy]

Of course(don't know what Judy's doing) Richard's doing amazingly on his own now on GMB.

Hard to believe Dr.Chris Steele was forty-three in 1988.

Food, drink, fashion, lifestyle, religion, war, current affairs. world history, philosophy, contemporary art, cookery, the meaning of life and much, much more....all coming up after the break.
