Does anyone know why the weekday editions of Breakfast are always introduced with the words, "Hello this is Breakfast with ...", whilst the weekend editions are introduced with, "Good morning and welcome to Breakfast from BBC News with ..."?


And then it's usually the female presenter who does this long garbled "a very good morning to you thank you for joining us coming up on today's programme... *breathes*". Why can't they do what they usually did, "Hello and welcome to Breakfast from BBC News, with X and Y." "It's xx.xx" Then do the stories after the titles? Much better.

Because at the weekends the programme is accomodated by a BBC News studio whereas during the week the programme is from its own studio inside the main television centre.


Well the last set they had - which was in the same studio, was always introduced with the BBC News tag line - so your thesis is mis-guided.

IMO sounds much more professional and less tacky.

Because thats what's written in the templates

I personally prefer the Breakfast Briefing introduction which starts off with the main story and then after the titles (which I think should be different for the briefing) they say 'Good morning, welcome to the Breakfast Briefing with me [name] on [day] the [date] of [month]. This morning's main headlines...'. I think it just generally sounds better.

I am passign through the UK today en route to USA biz trip and managed to catch Breakfast this morning, in parts.

Apart from the slight chnages in the Biz News due Declan being out on the road, and Sally at the exchange etc, the only other thing that caught my attention was just how knackered, tired, pale and lifeless Natasha Kaplinsky looked. She was in no way fresh and breezy as she used to be, and looked as though she had been up all night.

I know that others had remarked the same in previous posts, but I saw the reality of it this morning. The poor lady looks totally exhausted.

Maybe Breakfast is no longer a suitable outlet for her, given her other works commitments. Maybe more suited to the Six??

Or overnight...... Twisted Evil

How about the shetland opt out

Either that or BBC 4


BBC Parliament?


Or locked up in a cupboard at Winifred's house maybe?


How long before she's up the duff ?

Is it Moira who presents the Breakfast Breifing, or does one of the main presenters do that? Persumably Moira doesnt present this section Monday to Friday, and does it exist at weekends?

Whoever does the news summaries does the Breakfast Briefing, so thats Moira on Mon - Wed and Gillian Joseph on Thurs and Fri.

Not on at weekends.

There's an interesting presenter combination listed for tomorrow morning: Bill Turnbull and Kate Silverton. Maybe they're going to use her when Susanna Reid goes off in a few months to have her baby?

Kate was brilliant on Breakfast this morning - I reckon she's a real rising star at BBC News at the moment. So natural, assured, heavyweight but friendly. I think we'll see her presenting Breakfast more regularly before too long.
