I watched BB this morning, and was apalled by the quality of the show. It's presenters have about as much personality as a dead fish!

Bring back Johnny and Denise, although the words 'rats, sinking, and ship' come to mind!

What makes me laugh is the amount of failed 'relaunches' they've had with new presenters, new set, new format etc. They fail dismally and before you know it, it's back to the old format, the old set and the same old games like 'Ooh What a Lovely Pair' or 'Invention Corner' or 'Star Turn'. Big Yawn, it's never been the same since Zig & Zag disappeared back to planet Zog.

How blunt
How mean
How true

You cannot replace good prenting teams with crap ones who copy them.

The BB's ratings slumped when the aussie one left and did when Jonny and Denise did too.

How long will it be until another good couple come on.

Richard and Judy are moving to C4 are not they...

The Big Breakfast was a fantastic show on Channel 4, and it really is a shame it has lost its appeal. For a start, Big Breakfast was supposed to be homely, it isn't now with a 'Star Trek' set. I haven't watched it for a long time. Since Johnny and densie left, the show is crap.
They should now focus on morning news,
A spin off of Good Morning America, but English.
'Good Morning England - With John Snow'
A catchy name, with more appeal than the current line up of Big Breakfast.
I always wanted to work on that programme, now it has much working appeal as NHS Bed finding depo.

How dare you insult Star Trek!! - Star Trek sets look a lot better than the Big Breakfast's!!! (esp. Voyager's)

'Good Morning England'? Are you aware that Channel 4 also broadcast to your United Kingdon neighbours? I think a title like that would go down as well with Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland as the zenophibic Jimmy Hill does. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Channel 4 isn't available in Wales (we get the Welsh nationalist channel S4C brainwashing our minds), although if you live on the Wales/England border, and if you live on the south wales coast (like me), then picking up Westcountry TV isn't too dificult.

I'm quite lucky aswell, in that I can pick up Irish telly too (One of only two places in wales to do so!)
