Minor faux pas on the sofa this morning while discussing the remake of comedy 'Only Fools & Horses' in the US.

The difference in acceptable language was evidenced by the American comedian, whose use of the word 'w@anker' at 08:27, was rapidly followed by an apology by Bill Turnbull & Sian Williams.

The dangers of live TV . . . Wink



Bill was having a laugh about it all... but Sian - the look on here face - she was not happy!

Major over reaction which kind of ruined the interview to some extent. I know people shouldn't swear on TV but having almost a stand off attitude that Sian appeared to take made it a bit uncomfortable to watch.

Yes, I fully agree. Sians reaction was way over the top.

Barco problem during the 07:00 TOTH today. Fortunately they had managed to fix it by the end of the title sequence.

Are we to assume that Sally Nugent is moving back up North in April? ...if so, a serious contender for Breakfast relief. Would also love to see her back on NWT occasionally.

I can see Sally Nugent replacing Chris Hollins and they're also probably gearing her up as a relief of the main presenters.

Aren't there going to be too many women, dare I say it, on Breakfast?

With Steph on the business, the female presenter and Carol on the weather, surely they should have a male on the sport, although Sally is a very capable presenter in either role she has currently, sport or female presenter. I was thinking they should have George Riley from 5 Live for sport.

With the entire Sport department being in Salford who's to know who will replace Chris Hollins. It could conceivably be anyone, and they could use several people. (I'm actually quite glad Hollins is going, they just need to get rid of Mike Bushell and Charlie Stayt and i'll probably watch Breakfast... scratch that, i'll never watch Breakfast.)

Hasn't Julian Worricker moved to Salford? so he could conceivably present Breakfast.

If there's one thing that annoys me about Breakfast it's Chris Hollins - he's truly awful. So smarmy!

I quite like him - obviously one of the very few who do!

He's one of the few sports news presenters with any personality,
