BBC Breakfast

But they never mentioned her 'affair'. Sian and Dermot were interviewing Alfred Molina from the Da Vinci Code and Dermot merely said to her 'you'll need that cassock yourself soon' referring to her size not her home circumstances. The remark about hormones was referring to hormones during pregnancy not before.

Ta newsreader for clearing that up.

Good for Dermot , he 's been the soul of discretion on this job and working with these colleagues. If theres one thing he's learnt from working there is not to put his foot in it. I never doubted him for a minute ............. reading the news and doing interviews well is another matter though.

Is Susanna Reid now permanent weekend presenter of Breakfast? (i.e. will Mishal be shoved back to world when she returns) - i've seen in loads of places that Susanna is now permanent.

No, Mishal will be main relief presenter, AFAIK

I'd rather her not to be honest. I much prefer Susanna Reid even though they are both very similar presenters - I think it might be that Susanna doesn't have that awful laugh and she seems to have a slightly warmer voice than Mishal.

Has this been used before?

Hundreds of times!

Anyone else think that during the news update bit at around 5 or 10 past the hour would be better with a bed?

The new theme has a bit of a bed at the end as can be heard on David Lowe's website and I think this would sound fine.

Rather strangely Susannah Reid was on her own for the first hour of Breakfast this morning, before Charlie Stayt joined her at 7am. Do you think he forgot to set his alarm?

I thought this always happened at week-ends.

It is and has been for ages

The plan was, whichever presenter stayed on until 10 to do Weekend 24 had the later 7am start. It's been that way for years.
