The Big Breakfast

According to the description of that David Bowie clip, the full show is available on a David Bowie website if one of us wants to check what Phil's bulletins are about!

I was actually at this, 20 years ago...

I was there too! I managed to pick up a discarded script and a few Big Breakfast cue cards. All long since gone missing!

Zig and Zag to have their own animated series on CBBC next year,

Seem's like they have put on a bit of weight since they were last on TV

That image would be like Ant and Dec standing the wrong way round. It's always Zag on the left! Zig looks OK but Zag is a bit dodgy IMO - wouldn't identify him as Zag if he was put in a picture on his own.

Zag's pupils always looked out to the outsides of his body didn't they?

It seems like this has been planned for a while with an article here dating back to 1st May 2012: http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/zig-and-zag-plans-summer-production-start/

Why animate it? Depending on the storylines, would it not be easier to use the puppets? What's the aversion to live action puppetry these days?

Think it would be far less appealing as live action, plus there is often funding available for animation.

That said puppets will be in primetime on ITV tomorrow night, and from what we've seen so far that doesn't look crap.

There's been a pilot online for years...

Unlikely BB reference from the US.....Simon Amstell presented The Big Breakfast in his bedroom when he was 13

Found these pictures circa 2007 of the house when it was used for BBC Three's Singing With the Enemy. There's a shot of where the games room used to be upstairs. Is it me or has the second staircase been filled in? It certainly looks like it.
