And he's just announced that Ally McBeale is reporting from America! 😁

He quickly corrected it to Allem Maqbool.


I heard him say Ally McBeal! Didn't hear him correct it though.

Was expecting to see a report from Calista Flockhart when he said that, especially as it was a report about an American actor!

Never heard of it, even though it was never off Channel 4 in the late 90s and early 00s?

The NC stayed with Breakfast until 9am this morning for some reason, complete with BBC London simulcast at 8.27.

Maybe there was technical work required in Studio E which necessitated a longer time, and so BBC Breakfast continued to air on the channel until 9.00am?

There are no technical reasons as to why Breakfast would ever have to continue on the News Channel Monday to Friday unless there was a total failure at NBH as the scheduled programme is Business Live which is simulcast with World from C (and which went out as normal on world this morning). As already said it was due to the flypast which while understandable I think was the wrong decision considering Breakfast was going out on BBC1 in any case.

This is where we disagree to disagree as i think it was the right decision on this occasion as the flypast was already timed to start at 8:45 this morning at any case.
