Don't get me wrong Johnny and Denise were awesome too but by the late 90s I had left school so wasn't up in front of the TV to watch it a lot during their era. Still great to see these clips though of how fun and bonkers morning TV used to be. Good Times.
@@sheila6186Exactly. I swear kids these days don't know what a pc or laptop is. They think the internet only started when smart phones were invented. 😂😂😂
I was in the UK between 1996 and early 2000 watching this. though didn't catch the language quite right as now but I was her fan. Great to know I was there in the best of the time of the UK, accordingly.
This was pure heaven loved it !. You could go up the pub on a Friday night and everyne would be talking about it!.R I P such great times compared to now where everything is a flush down the bog!
Happy days, loved all the presenters & zig & zag wish they could come back & it was all good fun & I used to love watching this in the 90s before I went to school & breakfast tv nowadays doesn't have that anymore & I don't watch breakfast tv anymore as it's rather boring now & way too serious nowadays.
The 3 people above me are part of the problem with the world today. The "poor me" victim hood mentality which so many politicians have latched onto. The OPs comment is absolutely correct. Life was still fun back in the late 90's.
Some criminal thought he was worth more than the hot blonde. His fault as well, he complained that they were thinking of paying her more, argued against it. What a scumbag. They were great together... such a shame it all fell apart over cash. Sad.
@The Fat Cat He went behind her back and negotiated his own separate contract when she wanted to them to have equal pay. He did it twice. What he didn't do was say 'She should get less money than me' or at least, if he did there doesn't appear to be any evidence of that. He likely had an agent telling him he was the big draw and trying to get the maximum amount of money for him, she (quite rightly) thought it should be a joint thing.
She left over money. Found out he was getting a lot more than her even though i think she was more entertaining than him. One of the people who started the 'Ladette' culture i think.
Back when celebrities were fun and light hearted unlike today where they’re always banging on about some boring cause and lecturing everybody. Can we return to these times of innocence and happiness please?
meh not totally. it was a pretty sexist show. you shouldn't roll your eyes at that. it's not okay that denise was paid so much less thna johnny (the reason why she left).
I even met Denise and Jay Kay at a Italian Restaurant in London back in 1999 (28 at the time) they were sitting opposite from me and Denise said "wanna come sit with us Al? and i went "Absolutely" so I had a chat with them.
I had just arrived back in the UK after about 23 years in Africa and this program was really amusing! And Denise - well, absolute dynamite! Sadly the program was ditched soon after. It was certainly a 100 ties better than the crap on in the mornings these days - in fact I don't watch telly in the mornings at all now - haven't done for years - sick of the #bullshit
Forgot she started off as weather girl or was she doing traffic reports anyway she was stunning , funny getting a lot of big breakfast recommended over past few days
I watched a couple of glazed carrot tutorials on Christmas Eve and Googol's retarded algorithms have bombarded me with glazed carrot recommendations morning, noon and night since. If I'd thought about it, oil puts the kibosh on root veg leftover usefulness, anyway. Rookie error.
I've been trying to find the first Johnny Vaughan-DVO episode ever and I'm not sure I've been able to find it (I can't find the exact date of the episode where they first presented). Anyone able to find it?
I actually only found out recently that Johnny Vaughan didn't want Denise to be a co-host because to begin with it was just him as a presenter. Turned out that Johnny and Denise was one of the best tv couple's in British history. I'm so glad I was just the right age to enjoy this show and many more like it back in the 90s . How life has changed .....someone invent a time machine
Was this a prime example of sexism as to why she left? I read up that he negotiated a higher pay than her so she left because she could not get equal pay as a co presenter.
Not really that simple, she thought they were a team and he'd argue her case but he didn't. He negotiated for himself and she felt let down by someone she trusted and thought was a friend.
Weird thing is, it wasn't actually her last show. They used to do a bundle of pre-records to last over the Christmas and new year, this was recorded a couple of weeks before it went out. She did a week or two of live shows after this was filmed and her actual final edition wasn't recognised as being so. They also moved the blue plaque after about a year, and dumped it out of sight on the wall nearest the canal, putting it right down near the ground, where it got hidden by shrubbery and remains to this day.
@@g13n79 I think it would be almost impossible to see it, now. It's somewhere between the door and the chimney, placed about three feet from the ground. But the wall-growing ivy has taken over, the shrubbery within the perimeter is quite dense, and to top it all the hedge lining the towpath hides the view of that side of the property.
My word she was beautiful. It was impossible to not fancy her. My guess is Johnny Vaughn definitely had affections for DVO She was dating Jamiroquai, I recall, around that time. And broke his heart some years later. Grief, you know even thinking about it happening to someone else is hard enough. FACT: That break up is what inspired Jay Kay's single "Little L". He was heart broken over her.
Naturally funny. Today it would be forced and political. The sixties to the late nineties were a different time, had some problems but we were improving as a people all the time. All I see today is regretion and division.
He could have said pay us both the same, but he didn't I don't think he even tried to say anything just thought about himself I missed the 90s for everything the way we lived but on that we said good morning to people but you know the world's shit now The Karen's and the SJW and the dicckheads have taken over, when celebs had a sense of humour and went on shows like this to have fun and be silly, now when they go on TV it's all politics

He was paid more than 4 times what she was despite her spending slightly more time on air each morning due to her "In bed with Denise" segment. Johnny wouldn't speak up for her when she demanded a raise and so she let her contract run out and left.
She left because she was (quite rightly) annoyed that she wasn't being given the same, equal pay as Johnny Vaughan. He also didn't stick up for her at the time, which soured the situation further.
