Isn't that often done to allow for piloting etc? As Dan's done a week of stand ins it's probably not required.

They pretty much did that last week.
As well as for piloting sometimes it is just to give the co-host a week or two off or just to distance one host from another, but I think as he's clearly in a different mould to Bill it probably wasn't necessary.
I'm still surprised they didn't have a clear week with Charlie hosting this week, this is often the done thing when a long running host leaves. Although Breakfast is in such a strong position, they probably didn't need to do this.

Unbelievably low production and technical standards on BBC Breakfast this morning, an interview with the camera lens steamed up. FFS, I couldn't believe that nobody got out a cloth !
This is the sort of low rent crap you'd expect to see on local TV, not network

Unless it steamed up internally.

Where would the moisture ingress occur then ? It's a reasonably tight seal where the lens mates with the camera body.
It's simply not acceptable to have 90 to 120 seconds of the programme transmitted like that

Worse, there was a live tease before the 06.25 regional opts, with the mist descending, so why didn't someone either in the Salford gallery looking at preview, or in the SNG truck notice it was going all misty before going to air?

I don't think it was as bad an issue as being made out here. The crew went from being outside in sub-zero temperatures into a heated monkey enclosure, which was only opened to them at 6am.
I thought Steph explained away the misty lens quite well during the 6:24 teaser, and the expectation that it would clear by the time they returned later.

I have no issue with the lens misting up, it's basic physics that it would in those conditions, and it's unavoidable, it's simply that there seemed to be no attempt or measures to clear the moisture from the lens.
You consider it acceptable to be unable to see anything properly on the screen for almost two minutes ?

No, obviously not, under normal circumstances.
Perhaps wrongly, I just assumed that it wasn't something that could be solved by simply wiping the lens, as I've seen them do when rain has obscured the picture in the past.
Is there any way that it was misted up 'internally', because of the rapid temperature change? By that, I mean that the back of the lens was affected. I'm not au fait with the technical specifications of broadcast standard cameras.
