- Hi there.
In this video i mix the great intro theme from the iconic morning breakfast show TVam -later GMTV from 1983.
I have mixed this track but only giving it a slight increase in tempo and a slight lower pitch tone giving the track a more relax theme to it.
Hope you enjoy the track

Thanks for listening.
Brilliant song on its own merit and brings back so many memories
This takes me back to the crazy days of my childhood.
Oh to have a time machine I'd go back to the 1980s and before like a shot
I'm an 80s baby and my memory of this song is always being woken up by it in the morning because my dad would have it playing loudly after he finished his night shift.
For some reason, for the last 40 years, i will occasionally have this song play in my head whenever i wake up in the morning, as if it's been etched into my head from childhood.
Well i woke this morning with it my head again but i just had the urge to figure out what the hell this song was even from. I started to doubt it was even real.
WELL I FOUND IT. THANKS FOR POSTING!!! lol
No Xbox or Playstation on this Planet will ever beat my Childhood.
But there was the Atari 2600, ZX Spectrum, Commodore C64, Vic20 and Amstrad and BBC Micro.
Just 23 old, life was good, the 80s was MAGNIFICENT. My adoring Gran, whilst in Germany used to send me letters and used to write "Its a Good Morning Britain here". R.I.P. Gran, this brings back memories, thank you.
I am a 2010 kid and am jealous you got to listen to this song in your childhood. No worries though, I am going to add it to my play list. What a masterpiece, this is the best TV theme of all time.
The sound of waking up for school in the 80’s!
Mid-80s. Cold, frosty February mornings. Rice Krispies with a toy in the bag. Milk from the doorstep (glass bottles with foil tops, birds had usually pecked a hole in the tops). And this tune coming from the TV.
Something about this is so special… life was indeed simpler back in those times. It’s said often but is genuinely true. Nothing else to watch on TV this time of day apart from this and BBC breakfast time. Both were compulsive viewing and I alternated BBC and ITV back in the day!
I would seriously buy this on vinyl, brings back loads of memories from my childhood.
Dad was in the Army and spent most of my childhood posted to Germany, so that's where I did a lot of growing up until I was 13.
However, between 1984 and 1986 we lived in Camberley outside London and I distinctly remember getting up early at a 5 or 6 years old to watch the cartoons on TV-AM.
Hearing this had awoken those memories of snuggling into the cushions on the couch in the living room in a fetal position, my hands keeping warm between my thighs, and listening to this tune while the show was not yet started.
Wow.
Thanks for uploading it.
I haven't heard this since I was a child and yet I can still remember some of the imagines - of pigeons flying, parachutists, people on a boat. I also remember that there was an egg in an egg cup with the year written on it! Funny what's stuck in my brain. I really like this tune - it's quite dramatic and modern.
Jeff Wayne of War of the Worlds wrote it
Sounds as good today, as it did on the first Day of Transmission in 1983.
I feel a surge of energy whenever I listen to this. Fantastic piece of music.
me 2 ....Maybe it was done deliberately because it was a early morning show
The short version of the theme is in the key of E major which is very good for an uplifting feel.
I can almost taste the milk and cornflakes..
Great childhood memories of this and bbc breakfast time both iconic pieces of music to start the day before school
Just beautiful . Hope and optimism in a wonderful theme.
Jeff Wayne also did the 1983-85 theme tune to "World of Sport", not as good but you might like it ruclips.net/video/bmxQk2JnCRk/видео.html
I listen to this at least once a week, it’s like a Bible
Why does this epic piece not have more widespread love? It is utterly outstanding. It is the quintessential call and answer anthem… have you guys tried sitting with a bottle of nitrites with this on LOUD? I need to LSD to this piece.
I am jealous of the people who got to listen to this as a kid. Since I am a 2010 kid I never knew about it until quite literally today. It is on my playlist now.
I was only 0 when this started up and must be one of the first things I ever saw on TV along with the Ceefax pages. Pretty much where it all began for me. The good old 80s.
Takes me back l. Great theme tune it would work today
What a banger
Its a nice little feel good tune in its own right, but thats what the 80s were about, feel good. The colour and decadence and culture of the time was all about confidence and feel good.
The use of the E major key (which is the original theme) is a good choice for an optimistic, trimuphant theme.
Awesome sound
Not sure how increasing the tempo makes it more relaxed, but a great piece of music.
TV am the best breakfast tv show of all time I miss it terribly so much better GM TV Daybreak and so called Good Morning Britain never being has TV am
Back when Britain was GREAT.
100 times better than the new Good Morning Britain theme tune.
Synth pan pipes....brilliant absolutely crackin' track.
Anyone remember the first Roland Rat segment called Shed-A-Vision where the TV-am sting went wrong at the end?
Have it as me ring tone
Happy Birthday
Loved Anna Ford and Angela Rippon less than subtle digs at the management
This is epic… who wrote this? It’s nuts.
Jeff Wayne - of War Of The Worlds fame!
Jeff Wayne also composed the 1983-1985 World of Sport theme which is also quite good.
@@cricketexplained8526 Wasn't that a programme called "The big match"? Theme was 'called Jubilation'
@@TheStumyu Jeff composed the 1983-85 theme tune for World of Sport as well. I really like it. The full 5-minute version is on RUclips
Even if the programmes themselves were execrable (and they were), this was always a great theme. Which is why it outlasted all the management and output changes until the end. Breakfast Time's theme was also excellent, but a bit staid.
There must be a dance remix of this tune?!
TV-am was never later GMTV. They were separate companies.
Quite like the speeded up version
Everything was just better in 1983
To be fair, our memories of the 1980s must be tempered by recalling the high unemployment, miner's strike, AIDS, nuclear tensions etc. But from my frame of reference, they were perfect.
what do you mean by "mixed" ?
this is tvam broadcasting through the transmitters of the independent broadcasting authority.
WTF are you mental?
Was there ever an IBA announcement? Mind you I might have been asleep at 6.25 am in the morning.
@@jane1975 There wouldn't have been, as it wasn't regional and therefore wouldn't have to announce themselves any other way than with this majestic theme.
Which synths and drum machine are being used here?
Good question. The strings are amazing, not sure what kind of synths would have had those sounds in 1982-83. Sometimes sounds like a real orchestra.
The quality of the strings make me think Fairlight, I don't see what else could have got that close in 1982/3. As for the drums an Oberheim DMX or Linn would be my first guesses.
Has a Jeff’s Wayne feel to it
That would be because it is Jeff Wayne. I only found this out recently myself - I've loved it ever since I first heard it nearly 40 years ago.
@@theaethelred3427 no way!
@@theaethelred3427 The more I think about it the more the tune goes through my head...Jeff Wayne is a musical genius! Apparently has over 3000 jingles to his name!
@@Sterlingjob I don't know much about him apart from War of the Worlds. He's certainly a genius. As for this tune, it's much better at its original tempo. It's a beautifully optimistic piece of music. I've never been much of a fan of television but this was always a guilty pleasure in the mornings - I would have been about 13 when TV-am launched.
@@Sterlingjob Yes, it is Jeff Wayne whom composed this. He also did the theme for Daybreak too.
This Was Used In FastBreakfast On BBC. Joke.
What do you mean this was used on the BBC? No it wasn't.
@@user-zt1er1uj6i he already said that it was a joke
Someone must have a nice clean version of this?
Absolutely years ago a site called PP Meldrum (A quick look sees that it, surprisingly, still exists.) hosted fairly high quality full versions of TV-am's GMB and Daybreak themes. Possibly still on there, but you have to register to see. Can't remember my login details, it's been a very long time since I last visited there.
they need to bring tv am back the building is still there rent it if MTV, gmtv was the follow up with eamon holmes lol, good morning britain is rubbish miss the 80s
too fast I'm afraid.
Wayyyyy too fast!
It's not that much quicker than was used in the programme. But works at 3-4 bpm lower. Not much in it.
