Filming
From 1988 to 1996 the show was broadcast from the Albert Dock in Liverpool. Shoppers and tourists were able to peer through the large window directly behind the presenters. Security guards prevented prolonged exhibitionism. Fred Talbot presented the weather from a large floating UK map on the Dock (which was famously invaded by a streaker during a live broadcast). The programme moved to London in September 1996 to make it easier to attract more celebrity guests. This Morning now broadcasts from Studio 8 at The London Studios on the South Bank which features large picture windows looking out over the River Thames. The windows that are seen on screen are real but have a silver coating on the outside to prevent people seeing in and also to prevent glare from the sun.
