Charlie was off sick (according to Breakfast's twitter) so this morning it was Naga & Louise presenting.


Posted this in the Presenters thread earlier but here it is again:

I don't think I ever remember there being two women (or two men) as the main presenters on Breakfast, so this was certainly unusual, albeit unplanned as Charlie was due to present with Naga.

However, quite often either Bill or Charlie are alone amongst an otherwise entirely female team when they have Steph doing business, Sally doing Sport and Carol on Weather. At least this time they had Dominic on business and Mike on sport to even things up a little. Smile

It has happened a couple of times since Breakfast launched in 2000. I remember Sian Williams and Sophie Raworth (I think) presenting together once. I'm sure Tanya Beckett also stepped in on one occasion. I can't recall two men presenting together, though. Well, not unless you count the Breakfast News era pre-2000 when it was fairly commonplace.

Wouldn't be a call you'd want at 3am in the morning.

Has Breakfasts weather woman Carol Kirkwood ever actually presented the show before? She'd be a great replacement IMO.

yeah, when the show was in TC7 but can't remember when. Carol, Simon Jack and Chris Hollins all presented the main show for a short period.

Carol presented the entertainment section once after 08:30 as a last minute replacement, but I'm pretty sure she has never presented the full show.

Remember she is a Met Office employee, and not employed by the BBC.
