Wasn't that the 7 toth though? Wouldn't they come back from the regions, have some headlines then the titles, as Sian says "This isn't what we normally do"
Umm - it was my understanding that it went:
Hand back from regions, (which is when we first see Sian and Dermot) - Top Story followed by full opening titles and then Coming Up segments and short sting back to studio.
On the issue of the format - it really should go back to having the desk for the first 30 mins and then the sofa for the next - looks far more consistent.

Interesting little teeny mishap at 7 this morning.
We had a moment or two of going round the studio on the big camera and Sian apologised for the loss of music - even though there wasn't supposed to be any.
Could thy not have just played out a trail? They've started at .01 before.

This morning's main story: Rubbish collectors may only collect your rubbish every two weeks very soon or something. Then at 8.45 until 8.55 we had a feature about David Cameron's hair. Added to this the joy of the God-awful Turnbull and stuttering, always falsely laughing Susanna Reid. Yesterday Turnbull and the divorced woman with a new born who may have a BBC employee as father were fighting over a pillow. And, oh yeah, Declan "I've eaten plenty of" Curry was reporting from someone's loft when he should have been giving us the business news.
Anyone get the very slight distinct impression that this programme is dumbing down? Mind you, it's produced by BBC News, who also make the 'Six O Clock News', which started tonight with two presenters giggling. Then at 6.10 (yes - 10 mins into the 30 min bulletin) something else got the presenters into a laughter.
To think we have to pay for this rubbish

I think the story Declan was reporting is probably linked to reducing your carbon foot print. This is a story that Declan is covering all year long for Breakfast, which I think is a good idea. It's nice to see him doing a bit more especially as business coverage is far shorter than it used to be a few years ago.

I appreciate that it might not always have the best ideas but on the whole I find it a good early morning programme with lots of news content and then lighter features. In this instance I find that the presenters are fine with authority for the news but able to relax into the lighter bits comfortably.
One thing I would do, though, is when the presenter of an item is outside (Eg. Declan or Chris) then I would get someone else in to cover the actual news part of things. I think that the business, as you highlighted, is the worst culprit with there being no business news when Declan is out on location.

Just a tip - If you want your points taken seriously then try making comments without entirely inappropriate and irrelevant comments. Things like "the divorced woman with a new born who may have a BBC employee as father were fighting over a pillow" shows what an attitude problem you have. Shame on you and any people who entertain your patheticness.

Out of interest, was Mishal Husain always going to just be a temporary presenter? I thought she had been confirmed as the main presenter when Natasha left, and according to the BBC Breakfast profile of Susanna it said Sussanna was back until Mishal finished her maternity leave, but then she never returned. I much prefered Mishal, and it's almost like she was promoted, then demoted again???

Words taken right out of my mouth!
Prime Minister, if you are referring to Sian Williams and Declan Curry, please just use their names, rather than several sentences of irrelevant drivel.

personally, i am really pleased to see Sian back - she just does it for me. I wouldn't want to watch 3hrs of a poe-faced presenter with no personality, Sian doesn't take herself too seriously like some others and seems a naturally nice lady to me. It is totally out of her control what the content of the prog is. as for her personal life that's her business but i hope she's happy and certainly from what i can see she seems absolutely glowing considering having a 5mth old at home and the early hours she does...it can't have been easy for her but she always puts that professional smile on her face.

It's funny... before she went on her maternity leave I was really going off Sian - I thought she was becoming mumsy and patronising. So, I surprised myself by being really pleased to see her back, and I think she's been great on Breakfast over the last two weeks. Watching her and Bill on Wednesday and Thursday was a joy to behold - it was like the old days of Breakfast.
Bill and Sian are clearly the perfect double act for Breakfast, and they always have been - why the BBC haven't yet realised that is beyond me.

This morning they had Sarah Campbell preparing an early evening meal at 6.50am
Oh, and by the way Sarah, Scotland is not a region
