Including yourself just now. If you'd like to edit your post accordingly please?

And by the way, it's not essential, that's probably why it was such a numpty-esque thing to do. Sorry James, but that's just the way it is - don't expect to get any answers with all these clues!

Well, since no one is actually going to give the game away, and the BBC Newsroom told me to F-Off when I called up to ask, I guess we will just have to wait and see who turns up on Breakfast in a few weeks time. Unless Nicky wants to out me (us) out of our misery?


You rang up a busy newsroom, where people are literally busting their gut to fill 3 hours of live tv, to ask who the new presenter is?

Noone would have ever, in a million years, told you to fuuck off.

Stop being childish, and just wait until whoever, or whatever appear on screen.


Consider your arse well and truly tanned BBC World!!!


Arse tanned? I'd say that was a mild stroking personally. I don't see what the major problem is really and James has done nothing what so ever wrong - We'll be putting the sharp instruments down now, eh Dog!

I also find the premise that no BBC employee would tell someone to f uck off an interesting one, numerous times I've heard certain members' utter the four letters...

Now, this has manged to turn into some giant beast of a mystery, looking at Nicky with my parent eyes, and I think it's something which really shoudn't have to, our even in TVF style, evoke such a strong reaction.


Hi Matrix..I was being sarcastic. I am sure the BBC newsroom would have received worse.
I find it funny more than anything! Laughing

Arse Tanned...getting one's bottom spanked..(oh matron)!!

GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a grip and lighten up. Of course I did NOT telephone anywhere to find out anything. I was only joking, as I am sure most of you knew! Oh Lordy Lord. What's up with you lot? I don't even live in the UK, so would never get to see Breakfast anyway, so the new presenter is really not of so much interest to me. I was just getting into the spirit of the debate. Not being childish, Dog! Crying or Very sad

But, hey, could you imagine if one of us did call the Newsroom, and BIG MOIRA answered?

I just noticed on TV last night that Breakfast's former Political Correspondent (which one I hear you ask, as they've had so many) Emma Udwin is now a Spokesperson for the EU in Brussels.

She appeared last night to read out a statement at a press conference, and it took me ages to realise who she was.

Following in the footsteps of her former colleagues, Michael Cole and Martin Sixsmith?????

Does anyone else feel that they'll miss the digital-only extended paper reviews once the Commonwealth Games finishes? Whilst I still think it's folly that Breakfast has been shunted to BBC2 given the problems surrounding regional news, I've rather enjoyed the feature. Let's hope they decide to accommodate it elswehere in the programme once they're back on BBC1.

Mike Bushell has been added to the Breakfast presenters page as weekend sports presenter. Obviously he is now going to be a regular feature. Presumably part of plans to boost the weekend show, which has improved considerably over the part year, in my opinion.

To be fair, Mike has been the weekend sports presenter for the last year or two now, continuing on News 24 into the early afternoon, so its a bit of an overdue addition to the website.

Although Sue Thearle seems to have done more Saturdays and Sundays recently. Perhaps Mike will fill in for Chris and Sue during the week (like when Chris used to fill in for Rob and Sue).

It was back in the early 90s when there was a charity initiative called Trading Places Day with which ITV got involved. The idea was that you got sponsored for swapping roles with someone else for the day. Cilla spent the day as an ITN reporter... reporting on Trading Places Day of course. There was something slightly surreal about seeing the 'Cilla Black - Reporting' aston, and hearing the "Cilla Black, ITN, London" outcue.

I think it was also the day when Richard and Judy presented This Morning dressed as each other.
