There was a slight pause from Christine after Philip made another bad innuendo joke, but then went along with the giggling.

Is Christine still on her large Daybreak contract, or is now utilised as a token fill in under ITV contract?

Her 3 year contract is now up. Normal cover Emma is in Salford for the Voice auditions.

Christine and Phillip seemed to do fine yesterday, I've always thought about whether she'd be offer to cover and obviously ITV wanted to see what they'd be like. From what I saw they seemed to have good chemistry just like him and Holly do.

I was also quite surprised to see so many positive comments about her on Twitter yesterday!

Really? The ones I saw yesterday were pretty harsh except for the ones by her followers who were responding directly to her twitter handle. I must re check.

Making the most of her being a 'rent-a-bitch', then.

The incomplete collection of previous title sequences - wonder if they'll be some kind of mash up tomorrow.


Interesting that for a period they were integrated with the BT sponsorship stings.

I'm surprised nobody has posted anything yet, but here are some photos of This Morning's set & weather map from Liverpool tomorrow!





It was fortuitous, I think, that there was an empty unit in the Albert Dock for them to move into for the day. When I was there a few weeks ago, it was a pop-up art gallery space.

Also, the infamous weather map:





Alison Hammond was on the map today to tell viewers about tomorrow's programme, and the work it took to get the map in there! It's 30 feet in height.

And the Hub comes from the sub:



Can't wait for tomorrow - it should be a really fun programme. I hope they don't go too crazy with some of the cheesy features that are typical of This Morning these days. A nod to the more traditional This Morning of Richard and Judy's time wouldn't go amiss.

Probably - if only to provide the videocappers with a decent quality copy of the original opening titles!

However, I wonder how they are going to approach the 'Talbot' issue? He was such a part of the R&J years on the show, it does make it slightly awkward to airbrush him totally out of the shows Liverpool history, even though the rossers investigation into his (alleged) behaviour occurred before he joined Granada.

By the way, were the first titles put together in a rush at about 9.45am on the day of the first broadcast?
Looking at them again, most of it appears to be cobbled together from the pilots and footage from Richard and Judy 'the Granada Reports years'. The long 'hold' on the title logo appears to back up this theory

Yes because floating weather maps and the clip below are less cheesy than the features of today?


I think some people may be looking at things with rose tinted glasses.

The map looked so small compared to the old days. Did anyone other than Fred do it - I guess they must have had cover for when he was off.
