The photo of presenters Anne Diamond and Nick Owen was taken with a panoramic camera.

‘Good Morning with Anne and Nick’ was a daytime magazine show which was transmitted on BBC 1 from October 1992, until May 1996. It was a live show from Pebble Mill’s Studio C, the Foyer, which was previously used by ‘Pebble Mill at One’. The show included a journalistic top story of the day, celebrity interviews, as well as cookery, medical, veterinary, gardening, fashion and interiors items. There were also video strands, such as ‘The Library of Romance’, a Mills and Boon type mini soap, with a different story each week.

Kathryn Shuttleworth worked on the audio of the show.

The photo is of the Studio C Sound Gallery. Studio C was the Pebble Mill Foyer, which housed shows like ‘Pebble Mill at One’ and ‘Good Morning with Anne and Nick’.

Stuart Gandy added the following comment on Facebook dating the photo: ‘Can’t say exactly, but I am guessing it is mid 90s when Studio C was revamped. The laminate floor and position of the desk is a clue. The original Calrec desk that had been there since the 80s was facing the other way and the floor was carpeted.’

Peter Poole adds: ‘I used the new desk when Studio B was being refurbished. I think it was about 1995.’

The Morning on One

Thanks to Marie Phillips for making this available.

This bone china tea cup was made to celebrate ‘The Morning on One’. It dates from the early 1990s, when BBC Pebble Mill ran the morning schedule on BBC 1. The presentation was run by Ross King, and Lydia Thomas, and linked the two big large live shows: ‘Good Morning with Anne and Nick’ and ‘Pebble Mill’.

The main use of this gallery was working with the foyer studio area. ‘Pebble Mill at One’ and ‘Good Morning with Anne and Nick’ were broadcast live from the foyer.

The photos are from an outside broadcast episode of ‘Good Morning with Anne and Nick’, from the Channel Island of Guernsey. I’m not sure of the year, but probably around 1993. Alan Whicker was a guest.

The photos feature Anne Diamond and Nick Owen, Steve Pierson (Floor Manager), Sally (make-up), Eileen Hubball (wardrobe), Will Hanrahan (reporter), Sue Robinson (multi-camera director), Duncan Howell (design), Laura McNeill (sound).

Despite the hard work, it looks like a good time was had.
