TV-am Great Storm 1987

The morning after the night before. TV-am came on the air at 6am from Thames' continuity studio, their own Camden Lock studios out of action at the time, in any case they weren't broadcasting to London anyway. This recording comes from about the time power was restored at TV-am beginning with a bit of the the Thames service, I've cut out the adbreaks although to lead into the adverts a TV-am logo which looks suspiciously like a scan of a videotape label. I've also cut the interview with Elton John which padded out most of the morning. Anne leaves Richard Keys at Thames but they don't quite get things going for the news at 7am so Gordon Honeycomb appears at 7.10. Kay Burley also features having a bit of phone trouble and the late Trish Williamson gives a good explanation of what has happened. They manage to get some storm pictures for the news at 8am but not long after that the recording stops. 2024 Edit: More footage finally surfaced showing that TV-am remained on Air where the archive recorded ended continuing right up until 9.25 where regional news and ITN took over. One other possible point of interest, note at the start Anne is wearing a Bugs Bunny sweater, realising this may not be suitable given the serious nature of events she ended up wearing it back to front for the remainder of thar mornings TVam. Lots of footage including the rest of that mornings TV-am:    • Video
