History[edit]
In 1988, ITV decided to create a live daytime morning programme to replace the weekday morning edition of Children's ITV. Four regional ITV companies made pilot shows to bid for the national contract:
- Television South offered a show called Home Today, hosted by Andy Craig and Fern Britton.[4]
- Yorkshire Television[5]
- Granada Television offered a show called This Morning, and was awarded the national ITV contract.
The first episode of This Morning aired at 10:40 am on 3 October 1988 and finished at 12:10 pm, live from the Granada studio inside the Albert Dock in Liverpool. An industry insider believed the idea would not work and would be pulled by Christmas 1988, but despite This Morning being launched with no publicity, its ratings quickly rose to a daily average of two million viewers.
In the first few series', the show's 'experts' were weatherman Fred Talbot, agony aunt Denise Robertson, medic Dr Chris Steele, cook Susan Brookes, beauty presenter Liz Earle, hair and make-up artists Andrew and Liz Collinge, and wine expert Charles Metcalfe. The theme tune was by David Pringle, who also wrote opening music for Wheel of Fortune, Fun House and The Pyramid Game.
To end the first series, in 1989, the show was presented via satellite from Disneyland, California. Produced by Granada's Field Producer, Brian Thomas, the set was built directly in front of 'Sleeping Beauty Castle', a first for Disney. The 'special' week achieved the highest 'daytime' viewing audiences outside of a Royal Wedding.[citation needed]
As part of the show, weather presenter Fred Talbot used a floating map of the British and Irish Isles to report the forecast.[6] A clip of Mark Roberts, a prolific streaker, running onto Talbot's weather map in 1995 is regularly shown on clip shows.[7]
In 1996 the show was moved to the London Studios on the grounds that it was difficult to get celebrity guests to travel from London to Liverpool.[8]
In the summer of 2001, Madeley and Finnigan left This Morning to present their own show on Channel 4.
2009–2015[edit]
In 2009, ITV had decided to relaunch This Morning, and subsequently, ratings rose by 20%. Part of the relaunch included a brand-new set and a new co-host, Holly Willoughby.[9]
In March 2010, This Morning and ITV had announced that the show would run from five days a week to seven days a week, with two brand-new one-hour shows broadcast on the weekends. Schofield and Willoughby presented pre-recorded links in between compilations of the past week's programming. Weekend editions were introduced on 20 March 2010, but have since been dropped from the schedule.[10]
The Hub, an interactive segment of the show, was heavily featured in This Morning from 2010 until 2014 (4 years). Presenters included Jeff Brazier (2013–14), Jenni Falconer (2013–14), Stephen Mulhern (2011–2014) Rylan Clark (2013–14), Emma Willis (2012–2014), Coleen Nolan (2010–2012), Samanthi Jayawardena (2010–2012) and Matt Johnson (2010–2013).[11][12]
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 were the two chefs to present the item.[13]
The show has proven newsworthy on several occasions: This Morning covered new ground by showing a gay partnership celebration live,[7] and a 2008 interview with Kerry Katona slurring her words also attracted coverage.[14]
On 21 August 2013, Carol Vorderman took her first steps towards a 2014 World Record attempt by doing a solo flight to 1,000 metres high, live on This Morning. Reporter Jenni Falconer covered the occasion.[15]
On 3 October 2013, This Morning celebrated its 25th anniversary. The programme was broadcast live from its original home at Albert Dock in Liverpool with presenters Phillip Schofield, Eamonn Holmes, Holly Willoughby and Ruth Langsford being joined by original presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan. Numerous historical clips of the show were aired, including Gene Pitney's miming gaffe from 1989. Keith Lemon presented the weather from the show's famous floating weather map, while Stephen Mulhern presented various items including 'The Hub Sub' (The Interactive 'Hub' on a submarine).[16] There was speculation concerning whether Fern Britton would return for the 25th anniversary; however, it was confirmed eight days beforehand that she would not.[17]
2015–2018[edit]
During the summer of 2015, Marvin Humes and Rochelle Humes presented This Morning, however they were later replaced by Gok Wan and Jenni Falconer.
On 27 August 2015, This Morning broadcast the remaining weeks' shows from the South Bank due to the main studio having a revamp ready for the new series on 1 September. The new series had many changes including a brand new set, theme music, titles and the new logo being painted onto the outside of the building.[18]
During the weeks of 19–31 October, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield separated for half term. Schofield presented with Christine Lampard, and Willoughby presented with Ben Shephard.
In early 2016, Eamonn Holmes went on leave due to a double hip operation, so Shephard and Rylan Clark-Neal alternated as hosts, with Ruth Langsford.
On Monday 18th April 2016, Phillip Schofield hosted with Ruth Langsford due to Holly's son (Chester) being in hospital.
During late July and late August 2016, Willoughby and Schofield did not present the show, owing to the school holidays. Therefore, Holmes, Langsford, James Martin and Anita Rani alternated. Martin and Rani were later replaced by Rylan and Dan Neal.
During late October 2016, Holly and Phil separated for the holidays: Amanda Holden and Ben Shephard, who both did separate weeks', alternated presenting duties.[citation needed]
During 13–17 February, Willoughby and Schofield were again absent for half term, so Holmes, Langsford, Allison Hammond, and Clark-Neal alternated.

On the Early May Bank Holiday, This Morning did not air and was replaced by a film. In the summer of 2017, Willoughby and Schofield were absent for the summer holidays; therefore, Holmes, Langsford, Clark-Neal, Hammond and Geri Horner alternated as hosts.[citation needed]
In July 2017, at the start of the summer series, new titles were made to match Langsford and Holmes presenting the show. The titles were different to the usual design, showing a behind-the-scenes look from the doors to the studio, make-up props and room, clothing department and the art gallery with a view of the studio at fast speed with crew in the presenters' place. The show was also retitled This Morning with Eamonn and Ruth. The regular series titles used since 2015 returned on 4 September, when Willoughby and Schofield returned to the show.

In late 2017, Rylan Clark announced he was temporarily leaving This Morning, and Georgia Toffolo stepped in.[citation needed]
In mid-February 2018, Willoughby and Schofield did not present, due to the school holidays, so Holmes and Lansford presented from Monday to Thursday, with Ore Oduba and Davina McCall hosting the Friday show. During the Easter holidays, Willoughby and Schofield did not present, so Holmes, Langsford, Clark-Neal and Emma Willis alternated.
During the week of 28 May to 1 June, Willoughby and Schofield did not present, owing to half term, so Holmes, Langsford, Clark-Neal and Holden alternated.[citation needed]
At the start of the summer series, on 16 July 2018, Langsford and Holmes confirmed that they would be doing six out of the seven weeks of the summer shows.
