Some questions, i'm sure someone will be able to answer.

When Breakfast News relaunched in May/June 1997, who was the other female presenter. I think it was Andrew Harvey, Justin Webb, Sally Magnnuson - but who was the other?

When did Liz Maclean present Breakfast News - and was she any good? Also when Sarah COburn was a presenter, did she still do the business news, or did she stop doing it.

One final question. When did Juliet Morris present from, and to. Did she replace Sally while she was on maternity leave for the x th time. And did Sally present much in the virtual studio?

Thanks in advance, and i hope someone can help!


I remember Juliet Morris presenting on the relaunched Breakfast News, so I think she's the female presenter you're talking about. I think Liz MacKean was presenting around that time as well, she tended to present with Andrew Harvey while Juliet presented with Justin Webb.

Sara Coburn only presented Breakfast News very occasionally, as Tanya Beckett used to do on Breakfast. Mainly she was a business presenter right the way through.

Very interesting piece on other world conflicts other than Iraq on the Ten tonight with Rageh Omaar.

I have noticed the Ten starting to cover some less-serious stories, including a lot more sport - I hope it's not permanent.

Did anybody see News 24 at 6.55pm? The bantering going on between Matthew and Jane was so hilarious? Did anyone else see it?

During the bantering, Jane said that she's going on holidays for two weeks. Whose gonna be presenting with Matthew for two weeks then from tomorrow? Will it be Kate Silverton again???

Probably Liz ...

So had Sally stoped presenting regularly then Confused: because on TV-Ark the clip of '97 Breakfast News, had an into with Sally.

It's just that i thought during the mid-90's Sally was on materntiy leave - but i could be entierly wrong!

Can anyone tell me why Max Foster was doing the business round up on Breakfast this morning? Is this a permanent move or just a stand in for Declan and Sarah?

Lets hope not - Declan is brilliant. It would be a shame if he left.

He's done it before and hes Breakfast's Business Reporter so Declan and Sarah must have both been unavailable and so he stood in.

I'm not sure about Sally - I think she presented a bit from the new set, but mainly from the virtual one pre-1997. As far as I remember it she just seemed to disappear.

I know that Sophie replaced Juliet, then went on to present with John Nicolson. Then Noel Thompson did Fridays replacing Andrew Harvey, but I can't remember who the second female presenter was at that point - it might still have been Liz MacKean, or perhaps Fiona Bruce - pretty sure it wasn't Sally Magnusson though.

Thanks for that. Didn't know Fiona presented BN. Was she on there for long?

So, in the old way, pre-Sophie, was it any 2 on one day system?

Yes, I think that's pretty much how it worked - remember that both Justin and Andrew presented on other bulletins as well (the One and the Six respectively).

I don't think Fiona presented for very long, but I think she was on quite a bit for a while.

One last point(promise). What did Juliet move on to after BN?

And does anyone have a video of Fiona Bruce, or Juliet Morris on Breakfast News?

Thanks
