This Morning

She'd be good as captain on Celebrity Juice now that Fearne has left although I wonder how long Holly will remain with CJ? I guess is one or two more series.

Only just noticing that what I assumed were lights from the studio trees reflecting on the monitors were actually Christmas lights added to the trees on the other side of the river in the background. Very subtle and festive.

Here's a question, was this short-lived Julie Goodyear show filmed at the Albert Dock studio or not? Looks awfully TM to me.

It does, but I think it might actually be the Quay St garden studio with the windows blacked out. A lot of Breeze’s stuff came from there, and later ITV Play. It was a cafe by the time of the Corrie studio tour post closure.

Also some of their regional shows I seem to remember.

Yeah I think it is the garden studio , Eamonn O'Neal there who did a lot at Granada, he was producer of Granada Reports too.

It’s definitely Quay Street, they built a studio in the garden especially for the Livetime show which ran in the afternoons. It was built around the time Good Life rebranded to Breeze. Seemed to get a fair amount of promotion at the time too. From memory (without going too off topic) I believe Granada Sky had an office opposite the Quay Street studios in an older building.

They really tried hard to get a Julie Goodyear show off the ground, for a while Granada were going to make one for BBC daytime but it was consistently delayed - with the papers gleefully reporting that the pilots had been a total disaster - and in the end it never happened.

In 1994, they did do a one-off on Granada called The Julie Goodyear Debate, and I remember the Sunday Mirror asking readers who lived in Granadaland to write in and tell them what it was like.

Definitely the Garden Studio.

Eamonn reminding us that he and Ruth are on TM Duty this week, whilst the others enjoy an extended break.

He does seem to have mentioned it an awful lot on today’s show, and yesterday on Twitter.

This Morning Sunday has been confirmed that it will return on 20th January and will be hosted by Ruth and Eamonn.

This is after weekend editions on both Saturday and Sunday came in 2010 after the 2009 relaunch.
