The Big Breakfast

I can't load these clips on my Android tablet but I'm looking forward to seeing them...

She might be the only person then to have ever hosted the show single handed. It was one of the disadvantages of cutting back to just two hosts - at least if they had a third in the house they could step in should one of the main hosts fall ill (though in the Paula Yates days as some of her interviews were recorded she probably wasn't in the house every day anyway).

When did Donna Air start in the phone room? I know by autumn 1998 that Vanessa, Zig and Zag and Richard Orford had all gone and it was just Johnny and Denise, with Richard Bacon introduced on the road a month after Kelly Brook started. Gail Porter and Sara Cox were both in a 3rd presenter role when Liza Tarbuck was there, while Donna Air was in the phone room for most if not all of Denise's second stint.

Those clips aren't working for me on Windows so I think there's a problem with them.

Didn't Rick Adams fly solo one morning?

None of that speak. They work fine, you just need to click play and then wait a bit. Here is the second one uploaded to YouTube. This also won't work, at least not until it is done processing which may take a further ten minutes or so.

The original links still bring up an error message for me. YouTube link works though. Is Magnus in the living room?

Could it be the spare room with black sheeting.
Speaking of the spare room, is that where the Richard Randell decorating bits came from?

Interesting to see the new decor (as was) in place there. I thought it was introduced with Johnny & Denise.

Richard Randall's bit was in the space directly at the top of the stairs.

That Vengaboys clip was quite possibly made in the Planet 24 studio behind the house (the Wonga studio).

No. It came in with what was supposed to be Johnny's return.

The episode with Lisa Rogers presenting on her jack and the Vengaboys clip was from Tuesday 5th September 2000. Johnny Vaughan had returned the previous day and presented with Lisa Rogers. He was meant to be on all week but Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was Rogers and Bacon. Vaughan returned the following Monday with Denise van Outen.

As I remember it, Johnny was meant to appear on the Monday but didn't. Lisa did Monday solo, then presented with Richard from Tuesday to Friday.

Didn't Richard Bacon host th first half an hour of the Johnny & Denise return show? Why was this?

As for the decorating, was the bigger breakfast set not at the top of the stairs? Or do you mean the other stairs?
