Don't suppose anyone managed to capture it?

Ah, and a little clip (just towards the end of the montage) of the jazz hands which Bill and Sian do just before going on air every morning at 6.

You might have heard a brief "Chris - and I'll be working with you during the Olympics" in there too, perhaps a clue for July.

Apparently they did it 15 seconds before every TOTH: not just before 6am! Laughing

How fab, it demonstrates what real chemistry was actually between Bill & Sian.

PS: Apologies that you have to turn up the volume: I'll get THAT sorted for the next cap! Confused

No, it just shows the awful show it is. And I use the word 'show' deliberately. It's not a programme.

I can just imagine it. 15 seconds of jazz hands, "3, 2, 1..." "22 children killed in coach crash." How appropriate.

Oh dear, how bitter and twisted.

What is your gripe, exactly? Nobody forced you to watch BBC Breakfast, but obviously to have, during which time you've developed a hatred for the programme.

Perhaps you should either not watch TV before work, or find a job enhancing the ITV Breakfast offering.

My gripe is that I expect a serious news programme from the BBC in the morning.

Is your response to everyone who complains about a programme 'you don't have to watch'? Do you not think people have the right to expect better?

Would you not think that the 15 second thing is part of their routine to help them distance themselves emotionally from stories such as the bus crash, If you want a serious hih brow program for the morning from the BBC you can tune into 'Today' on BBC Radio 4, or the news channel from 8:25.

Lovely send-off. Really emotional. Crying or Very sad Whoever replaces her will have big shoes to fill. Suzanna lacks the human appeal and naturalness Sian has but she's ok.

A lot of the program involves proper news and more serious content. 15 minutes of giving Sian a send off at the end, during the lighter section of the program, and a few very short mentions otherwise aren't really harming anyone or spoiling the programme are they?
