BBC Breakfast

Programme puns so far:



Any more for any more?

If not, then ZIP! it.

I'll try to make sure it's a Good Morning by checking my Calendar so I don't miss the new look programme.

probably a bit too obscure

I’ll be part of the Wide Awake Club tuning in at 6am to see these changes.

You've gotta love Breakfast Television , The AM Show s, plus all the Good Morning s in America, Britain, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Serbia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, plus Sweden . They play an important part in Your Morning . If they have some Morning Glory , that is brilliant. If you need something calm whilst having your Breakfast , you always have Breakfast News . And if you're looking for something that is just God awful, you always have Studio 10 to keep your company before and after the Daybreak and Sunrise .

For me, I love the programmes in the foreign languages I can understand, such as Morgonstudion , Télématin , Morgenmagazin , and Morning Chance (あさチャン!) .

As I type this, there are only a few hours until the final edition of Breakfast as it is for now. As it brings in a new look on Monday, let's just hope we don't want to cry out for Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain .

It'll certainly be a Wacaday on here on Monday.

Here's the junction into today's programme:


(apologies for the bad quality)

skyQhater's video shows what often happens with Breakfast (on the NC at least)...

Namely, that you get an awkward "presenters not quite ready yet" moment after the countdown, which I think has usually passed by the time the BBC One ident cuts to the Salford studio.

Even BBC One viewers see the 05:59 NC countdown at weekends, as BBC One doesn't bother having 2 minutes of its own trailers & ident (like it does on weekdays).

My understanding is that the new style opening will involve the very first thing at each TOTH being some sort of sting, before the first presenter two-shot. Just like during the Rio 2016 Olympics. This will eliminate the awkward pause.

I'm surprised they didn't stick with such an arrangement continuously after the Rio Olympics ended, and it's taken a further 2 years for them to re-implement this device.

Much as it pains me to say anything positive about Good Morning Braindead, starting the TOTH with an "itv" sting and fanfare I have always felt looks & sounds good. It gives a sense of a "firm beginning", which 1-2 seconds of the presenters staring at the camera waiting to speak definately doesn't.

I wonder what it will look like After Nine

Looking forward to tomorrow’s Sunrise

I've uploaded the 7am and 8am TOTHs, and also the closing. Here they are, in order:

In honor of the current about-to-be-replaced Breakfast graphics, I've decided to make a montage of all titles and stings of the last edition of Breakfast using 2012 graphics: (I did not intentionally try to coincide with skyQhater's captures if anyone is offended by that (?))

(Apologies for the appearance of mouse cursor seen in various clips... I forgot to remove the mouse cursor in my capture software.)

Breakfast had been using this graphic since 10th April 2012, upon its move to Salford's MediaCityUK from TVC's Studio TC7. In the early stages, the time strap and lower-thirds were in the 2008 format:


...until 19th March 2013, they upgraded the time strap and lower-thirds to go in-line with the rest of the BBC News graphics (BBC News upgraded their graphics upon their move to BH). The titles and stings remain the same, which is why you still see the old and "regional produced" styled DOG in the titles till this day:

So long disco ball! (except on the screens) and roll on lovely lovely opening heads bed! Also a mnemonic which to me totally sings "this is breakfast"
