Security guards, though, prevented prolonged exhibitionism. Lynda appeared as part of the promotion for her run in the "CHICAGO" musical.

			TRIVIA:	[•] This is the fourth and last of the British programmes in which Lynda appeared during her run on the "CHICAGO" musical.
				[•] From 1988 until 12 July 2001, it was presented by husband and wife team Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan. At this time it was very popular attracting around two million viewers. After they departed the show they were replaced by Coleen Nolan and Twiggy, who proved to be ratings failures. They were replaced by John Leslie and Fern Britton, who managed to get the ratings to around one million. However in 2002, Leslie was sacked after allegations in the press and was replaced by Phillip Schofield. Lorraine Kelly joined the team in 2003 to co-present on a Monday, with Ruth Langsford co-presenting on Fridays. This was to enable Fern Britton to spend more time with her family. Lorraine left This Morning in March 2006 to concentrate on her GMTV programme, as well as to spend more time at home. Fern now presents Mon-Thur, with Ruth Langsford continuing to present on Fridays. Phillip Schofield co-presents all week. In the summer of 2005, Richard Bacon and Denise van Outen temporarily took over the presenting duties, whilst Phillip, Fern and Lorraine were on holiday. Other guest presenters include Eamonn Holmes, Kate Garraway, Tim Vincent, Ben Shephard and John Barrowman.
				[•] Fred Talbot presented the weather from a large floating map on the Dock. The programme moved to London where it would be easier to attract more celebrity guests and now broadcasts from Studio 8 at The London Studios on the South Bank.
