The show has become know for the Awesome moments they have done.

  • First off the show has passed 30 Years something that is unknown for programs of it's kind especially since it was only for a couple of weeks.
  • Richard and Judy the show's original host are married and there had never been a show presented by a real married couple at the time.
  • Denise Robinson was the Agony Aunt from the show's beginning until her death in 2016, she had a easy to understand way of helping people and never stopped when her segment ended:
    • Famously they did a segment on Domestic Abuse, a woman phoned in to reveal that she was being physically abused by her husband, she also had a child, they tells to go to a phonebooth and call Citizen's Advice, the woman tells them he locks her in without a key which horrified Richard and Judy, Denise took control with this iconic line:
    Denise You honestly have to ring the police and tell them that you are locked in the house, (Beat) And the very fact that he has locked you in, indites him immediately. Why would a man lock his wife and child in the house unless he was a guilty man?

    • Thankfully the team stayed with her, called the police and the woman and her child were saved.
    • Denise wasn't afraid to be part of the action, she famously slept rough on the street, she confronted a MP about the current struggles of what was happening, she helped people after her segment and she founded The Bubble a specialist care unit for special care babies.
  • Dr. Chris Steele did segments on Testicular and Breast Cancer, which models showed people how to check for physical changes, when the ITV executives were told about the models they tried to remove the segments but Chris told them it had to be done, they accepted it as long as no nipple or penis was seen.
    • But the aftermath was that several men and women have thanked Chris as they did the test and they caught their cancers.
  • Several Celebrities had their TV Debuts on the show:
    • Charlotte Church sang on the phone and then became a star.
    • TV Chefs like Gino D'Acampo, John Torode and Paul Hollywood started on the show.
    • Model David Gandy won a Modeling Competition.
    • Simon Cowell was a judge on a Boy Band Competition, that the show did and soon after created the TV Talent shows.
    • In that contest was Will Young, Antony Costa and Lee Ryan.
  • Holly shutting Katie Hopkins down with the children's names issues, the look on Hopkins' face.
    • Also during the discussion she had talked about children with land names as being on her list of no-go names but yet she named her daughter India which they reminded her and she tried to defend it.
  • When they surprised Alison Hammond with a This is your Life surprise for 20 years on the show.
