And sadly according to the article, it will have a completely different theme tune and not the original, apparently an Aztec Camera hit in 1990?? I'm still holding out hope it may retain some elements of the tune.

That has to be a joke to wind up television forums like this one. Surely.

For the record Aztec Camera did have a song called Good Morning Britain - and the video has a couple of subtle TV-AM references - but that's where the similarities end. Also the dates somewhat give away which came first.

Dont the kids go back on the 22/23 April? Although it would be odd to start on a Tuesday, but it means they miss the back to school rating rise?

I bet someone owns TV-am's name, logo, music etc. Obtaining the rights for the original Good Morning Britain would probably be not so straight forward. That tune is also very much of its time, as good as it is. Maybe a decent re-recorded version could've been done but there was never much chance of that coming to pass.

In which they they state:

Quote:
“Susanna is practising, ‘we’ll be back after the break’ as it’s not something she’s dealt with.”



So "we'll be back after the news from where you are" every 30 minutes seems to have evaporated from the Daily Mirror's memory of Susanna Reid's tenure on the BBC Breakfast sofa!

By original theme tune, do they mean an old GMTV one, to 'recreate the GMTV feeling '
