Really? I've seen it too and thought it was pretty nice. A vast improvement on the outgoing one, but that's not difficult

I thought it looked like it’s been taken straight out of the 90s Smile

Do they still have a signed section of Breakfast on BBC News?


Yes they do, between 8am and 8.15.

It's all very well saying nobody watches Breakfast on the news channel but of course on Sundays it's exclusively on the news channel from around 8.30 (used to be 7.30, of course) and it usually gets the news channel's highest audience of the week. The other general point is that people would expect the BBC's domestic news channel in a prime slot like breakfast to be showing domestic news. There was plenty of other news on Breakfast on Friday.

Shock horror, put a programme or content that people want to watch on a channel that's NOT BBC 1, and they'll still manage to find it

Ratings show that they don't though – at least not in the same numbers.

If the NC's largest audience of the week is the 'exclusive' portion of Sunday's Breakfast, that would suggest otherwise ? Could it just be that the difference in audience figures for Breakfast before and after the MOTD switch, are folk that want to watch MOTD ?

Sorry about that – I missed quite a crucial part of the post there (ie the last part of Steve Williams’s post) and completely misunderstood it as a result.

I wonder what the relaunched Victoria Derbyshire will look like on Monday?


This sentence demonstrates perfectly why I despise programme names being literally just the presenter's name (not even flanked by e.g. "The..." and "...Show", which would at least be something).

JWN's (perfectly correct) query ends up reading as if it's an enquiry about the actual person, and therefore it sounds as if e.g. she's having major cosmetic surgery or something!

Markymark's exact words here should be read out by a pre-recorded loud booming voice, played on-a-loop over tannoys 24 hours a day into both the homes and workplaces of all those cretinous BBC decision-makers who seem to think that Joe Public doesn't know that any TV channels other than BBC One exist in the universe and/or are incapable of finding e.g. Wimbledon tennis (or whatever) if it goes to BBC Two.

It's a deal, but please get a professional VO person to do it, trust me, you don't want to hear my voice 24/7
