VT-AM
Fondly known as "VT-am", the archive of ten thousand hours of TV-am programme material was sold to various archive companies when the station went off the air. None of this material is now owned by TV-am. We can advise about TV-am programmes and put you in touch with the relevant archive companies. The picture below shows the live transmission of "Good Morning Britain" on Christmas Day 1986 with TV-am's family of presenters gathered around the piano in studio A. The picture was taken by a member of the studio crew. Included in the picture are Jimmy Greaves, Lizzie Webb, Anne Diamond, Georgie Fame, Faith Brown, Jeni Barnett, Russell Grant, Anita Harris, Floella Benjamin, Gordon Honeycombe, Wincey willis and Gerard Kenny at the keyboard! A star studded turn out for Christmas morning.
