Anyone remember the wedding episode from 99?

That TV Gold channel proving to be - well, gold, for Big Breakfast content. A Bank Holiday episode from 2000 up with Johnny and Lisa Rogers - and a rare competition where Johnny actually hosts as himself. Also had forgotten how pretty much throughout 2000 (and possibly from 1999 when Kelly joined) they generally had a third presenter in the house, who was Donna Air by the time Denise returned.

Also nice seeing a bit of C4 presentation from 1999 especially - had forgotten how good the original stripes idents were, even though they were replaced within the year.

It’s definitely refreshing to see some new BB content appear on YouTube rather than the usual selection of clips that appear on there year after year.

Interestingly Denise has also posted a picture with her and Johnny from 1998 with the yellow house behind them. I wonder if she's moved on from her "feud" with Johnny?

Anyone know or remember what the huge hot air balloon was used for in the front garden outside in this clip?

My first guess would have been The Bigger Breakfast's competition 'Poultry in Motion', but as it was the 1st May, would the Bigger Breakfast have aired, unless it was a one day special being a bank holiday?

Easter was only the weekend before so The Bigger Breakfast probably continued to air on the May Day Bank Holiday.

I posted this in requests but i thought some BB superfans might be able to help with this as well.

Is the font in this image either a variant of Impact or Haettenschweiler?

I'm sure I've seen a condensed Swiss font that looked similar.

Looks like you’re right!

The numbers look identical here https://www.fonts.com/font/bitstream/swiss-911/extra-compressed

Doesn’t the Swiss font family come installed on some newer PC’s?

Something I've noticed, check out this clip:



Notice how, when they revamped the hallway for Kelly Brook's arrival, they covered up the top of the long stairs window to make it more like a normal window. Obviously on the outside it remained unchanged (with the panes presumably blacked out).

And then for the 2001 relaunch they opened it up again, so the full size window was visible inside.
