The Big Breakfast

Surely if C4 are going to drag a programme back out for a quick brexit-related run, it should be Eurotrash they opt for!

They did that the night before the referendum, presumably to promote anglo-french relations. And look what happened....

Someone's taken the time to translate this clip!

This makes me wish Liza and Denise's paths had crossed on screen 20 years ago. I think Liza stood in for Denise but doubt they'd have ever hosted together.

This starts on Friday on Channel 5. Silly as arseholes but I think wildly entertaining. I am one of the team captains. Couldn't be more proud. pic.twitter.com/X8RJSyI46S

Three Big Breakfast hosts in that. Danny Baker, Denise Van Outen and Liza Tarbuck. I wonder how that would have looked in the mornings?

The Big Breakfast credits in the style of The Sims. Nice editing of an in game soundtrack to make it sound like the theme tune too!

This clip's from Richard Orford's first week/fortnight in 1995. They moved Zig and Zag back into the bathroom temporarily, but I can't remember why.

Why did they move out of the bathroom? Was it explained on screen or did they just come from the box room one day?

They talked it up beforehand. I think it was to give the puppeteers more room as the bathroom was cramped.

Anyone have the upstairs plan from before the 1996 revamp. IIRC the bathroom was above the kitchen with the landing next to it used for competitions.

23 years ago to the day we woke up to a new look Big Breakfast:

It was a diaster but, as someone who likes change for change sake, it was exciting to watch. I always loved getting up to watch the first episode after the summer holidays to see if the living room had been redecorated. From 96 onwards it changed, almost, every September IIRC.
