I expect they'll remove the graphic with his name on.
Will there be any changes to Breakfast to reflect Bill Turnbull's departure?

Damn... you beat me to it!
My joke was: "They'll no longer say any permutation of: 'Hello, this is Breakfast with Bill Turnbull and... [or] ... and Bill Turnbull."

A lack of Bill Turnbull on screen?

Bit of sarcasm for an innocent question is there not?

I was only asking out of interest as the show is in need of a revamp isnt it. The same boring music hasn't changed since 2009 and the set has had its time now after four to five years on air.

It's call forum banter and without it this place would be a dull place. The debate discussing whether it was appropriate in this case will now also give this thread a couple of pages of content which everyone will be delighted about.
Do agree though things do need freshening up at Breakfast- at the very least it's time the NBH style sets were role out to Salford.

Though if the BBC has learned anything from ITV's Breakfast misadventures it would know to, other than a we'll miss you package on the last day, do as little to the programme as possible. No format changes, no big presenter campaigns and now is not the time for a new set.
On the set though it's surprising it's almost 4 1/2 years old and how little it's grown on me, I still think it would get less than 2 stars if someone uploaded such a design to the gallery.

One problem with trying to replace that set is the design of the studio, it isn't exactly big, there isn't a huge amount of room to change things for Breakfast without it affecting North West Tonight. This is not a simple matter. This is perhaps the one problem with taking Breakfast out of London and taking it to Salford.
I don't think there is any easy answer here. It's not a great set design, it's not a decent size studio. Maybe the answer is to bring it back to London and Studio B, but that means problems with the changeover to Victoria Derbyshire now. I don't like the Victoria Dervyshire programme, but it exists and it is now a complicating factor in bringing Breakfast back to London.

It's not as easy as that in regards to the set. It won't mirror NBH as it is shared by BBC North West and currently fits the regional look.

You could of course do a big switcheroo, BBC Breakfast is a flagship, longstanding programme with many viewers and thus deserves Studio B. VD on the other hand is a mess that nobody watches so nobody would care if it was in the crappy little set in Salford. Having Breakfast in B would also mean that the whole of GMT could from Studio B. Breakfast also relies more on the wider BBC News Department so would make sense to have it in NBH (Business, politicians, Weather etc.) where as the only real contribution from the rest of the department to VD is pre-packaged reports and weather could come DtL. While on a Sunday Breakfast might have to relocate to Studio E as per the TVC days, it's fine orange goes with red and Sundays on Breakfast are more newsy anyway.
Nonetheless, unlikely to happen.
