This Morning (TV series)
Encyclopedia
This Morning is a British
daytime television
programme broadcast on ITV
. As of September 2011, its main presenters are Phillip Schofield
and Holly Willoughby
, and Ruth Langsford
and Eamonn Holmes
, with various other presenters standing in for illness or contributing to sections of the programme.
The show was devised by Granada Television
and was first broadcast from studios at the Albert Dock
in Liverpool
on 3 October 1988. It was presented by married couple Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan
until July 2001. The show relocated to The London Studios
in 1996.
It features showbiz, style and beauty, home and garden, food, health, real life and more similar features. This Morning airs daily on ITV
, the live weekday editions air from 10:30 lasting 120 minutes, whilst pre-recorded weekend editions air at varying times lasting 60 minutes.
. At this time the show was very popular attracting around two million viewers daily. From time to time, during their holidays, they were replaced for short stints by guest presenters such as Stephen Rhodes
and Alison Keenan. Originally the show was broadcast from a studio inside the Albert Dock
in Liverpool
. As part of the show weather presenter Fred Talbot
used a floating map of the British Isles to report the forecast. A clip of a streaker
running onto Fred Talbot
's weather map in 1995 is regularly shown on clip shows.
For the beginning of the Autumn 1996 series was relocated to LWT's Television Centre (now The London Studios
) in London
, coinciding with a housing relocation for Madeley and Finnigan and to secure even more celebrity guests for the show. From 1998 onwards, Richard and Judy hosted only the Monday to Thursday editions, with regular guest presenters hosting on Fridays: during the tenth series Caron Keating
and Ross Kelly presided, and from series 11 in 1999 Fern Britton
and John Leslie
were regular presenters of Friday's show.
When Richard and Judy departed the series in 2001, they were replaced by Coleen Nolan
and Twiggy
, with Britton and Leslie remaining on Fridays. However, when Nolan and Twiggy proved less popular with viewers, Britton and Leslie took on the full job of presenting the show and brought the ratings back up to around one million. In 2002, after certain allegations were made in the press about his private life, Leslie was dismissed.
Leslie was replaced by Phillip Schofield
, developing an on-screen relationship with Fern Britton
that was characterised by good humour and giggling.
Lorraine Kelly
joined the team in 2003, to co-present with Phillip Schofield
on a Monday and a Friday. This was to enable Fern Britton
to spend more time with her family. Kelly left This Morning in March 2006 to concentrate on her GMTV
programme (GMTV with Lorraine), as well as to spend more time at home. Schofield and Britton presented the show from Monday to Thursday, whilst Ruth Langsford
presented the show on Fridays alongside Schofield. Joined by Eamonn Holmes
, Langsford also presented the show during school holidays and since September 2008, the real life couple host the show each Friday. However, this wasn't the first time the couple had appeared presenting the show, having presented a special edition in 2002 to coincide with the Queen's jubilee.
In March 2009, Fern Britton announced that she was to quit the show and was replaced by Holly Willoughby
in September 2009. On 17 July 2009 Fern Britton presented her final show with a list of friends and celebrities after 10 years of presenting. A relaunch of This Morning took part at the same time and subsequently the ratings rose by 20%.
The show has been presented by only one presenter five times in its history. The first by Madeley while Finnigan was ill with a cold. Three times by Britton; in 2002 following the allegations against Leslie, in 2008 when Schofield was absent due to his sick father, on 2 February 2009 when Schofield became snowed in at home and was unable to make it into the studios, and once on 23 March 2009 when Britton fell ill just before the opening of the show.
In March 2010 it was announced that This Morning would air seven days a week, with two new one-hour shows being broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays. Schofield and Willoughby present pre-recorded links in between compilations of the past week's programming - beginning on 20 March 2010. Also on 1 March 2010, This Morning began an interactive cooking event, named This Morning Cook In!, where each week, five viewers and a celebrity guest cook along, via Skype, with the chefs on the day of the event. Gino D'Acampo and Phil Vickery have been the two hosting chefs to be a part of This Morning Cook In!.
The current series of the show began on 6 September 2010, the twenty second, with Willoughby and Schofield returning from the summer break. The new series features a brand new kitchen and also an addition to the show called This Morning Hub, where messages from Twitter and Facebook users, as well as emails and texts are read out. The Hub presenters are former Loose Women
panellist Coleen Nolan
, TV presenter Steven Mulhern (as of 2011), Channel 5's OK TV's Matt Johnson
. A new look version of the website was launched for the new series.
On 4 April 2011, ITV
confirmed that presenter of travel items on the show Jenni Falconer
, and Friday co-presenter Ruth Langsford
would cover Holly Willoughby, from 14 April for the first six weeks. Ruth will present the first three weeks with Jenni the final three. Jenni Falconer
filled in for Holly, on the 12th April 2011, as it was announced by Phillip Schofield that Holly may or may not be in labour. Schofield confirmed via Twitter that indeed Holly was in labour. Falconer covered the remainder of Willoughby's leave until 14 July 2011.
The show has proven newsworthy on several occasions. This Morning covered new ground by showing a gay partnership celebration live An 2008 interview with Kerry Katona
, slurring her words, also attracted coverage.
Note: Between 2003 and 2006 the Friday presenters also presented on Monday.
From 1988 to 1996 the show was broadcast from the Albert Dock
in Liverpool
. Shoppers and tourists were able to peer through the large window directly behind the presenters. Security guards prevented prolonged exhibitionism. Fred Talbot
presented the weather from a large floating UK map on the Dock (which was famously invaded by a streaker during a live broadcast). The programme moved to London
in September 1996 to make it easier to attract more celebrity guests. This Morning now broadcasts from Studio 8 at The London Studios
on the South Bank which features large picture windows looking out over the River Thames. The windows that are seen on screen are real but have a silver coating on the outside to prevent people seeing in and also to prevent glare from the sun.
and Holly Willoughby
took a break for the summer. A new logo was shown at the beginning and end of every episode during the seven weeks that they were off.
Ruth Langsford
and Eamonn Holmes
presented from Monday to Thursday, with Paddy McGuinness
on Fridays presenting alongside Andrea Catherwood
for one week Jenni Falconer
for three Fridays and Coleen Nolan
for another three. On 2 September however, Eamonn and Ruth presented This Morning.

, Matt Johnson, Brian Dowling
and Alison Hammond

, Blackpool
and Bournemouth
and present live broadcasts shown during the main This Morning programme.
