Would they be allowed to paint really loud primary colours on the walls? I just cant see The Big Breakfast on air with plain white walls.

I suppose (assuming The BB revival actually happens) if they're paying to rent the property for the duration, they'll
have the right to repaint the walls of the House in classic loud and brash Big Breakfast style. If the revival is only
short term for the duration of the Olympics or up to what would be the 20th Anniversary on 28th September,
then they'd probably be contractually obliged to repaint the walls back to plain white after the final edition,
and probably even rebuild the centre partition wall in the living room.

If anything, assuming they're not aiming for a full-time revival, the 20th Anniversary on 28th September would be
the ideal date for an Ultimate Last Ever Big Breakfast, as the date is on a Friday ... so, one very last Friday Song!

Why not write your own? It might be Wednesday but I came up with this one. I think it just about scans and rhymes in all the right places. If it doesn't for you, check that you aren't Northern or something.


Daybreaks going to get a lick of paint,
but a major relaunch is something that this ain't
so we'll all be disapointed
unless Holmes is reapointed
but TV Forum members need to show restraint


Singing, wakey, wakey, wakey rise and shine,
The Big Breakfast is the only way to dine,
It's your number one big breakie
So get it down your neckie,
And stick with us from seven until nine!


Tumble Towers made a really sad decision,
to deprive us of his views on Eurovision.
He really will be missed
even though he was always dissed
for watching too much Children's television.

So Challenge take a trip down memory lane,
with Blockbusters being remade yet again.
They'll need a brand new host,
as Bob Holness is a ghost.
I really hope they're phoning Charlotte Gane.


Singing, wakey, wakey, wakey rise and shine,
The Big Breakfast is the only way to dine,
It's your number one big breakie
So get it down your neckie,
And stick with us from seven until niiiiiiinnnneeeee!

I remember the headline ... THE BURNT BREKKIE ... !

The fire took place several months after the last show, even after gas and electricity supplies had been cut off.

It's just as well Lock Keepers Cottages was completely repaired by the people that bought it from Channel 4 for
about 40% off the estimated selling price. Otherwise it would've been left a standing wreck, targeted for more
vandalism and arson, then eventually demolished, and the site redeveloped as an Olympic "green space".

Be good if it comes back and done right though, be good to have some old faces back like Peter Smith on the news and Paul O'Grady on the bed, however I doubt that would happen, Tasmin Lucia Khan would be good doing the big breakfast news Laughing

Johnny Vaughan was on Richard Bacon's show yesterday and said that he would love to do it if he got asked.

I don't think he would be able to present the show in the same way in 2012 as he did in the 90s. If he did, it would probably be considered racist, sexist, homophobic and just unsuitable for breakfast television. Things have changed so much since then.

And you came to this happy conclusion based on what? Were his comments any of those things then or has he taken a turn for the worse?

I came to that conclusion based on my watching of old episodes of The Big Breakfast hearing certain jokes, seeing certain characters and thinking that would probably be considered racist, sexist, homophobic and just unsuitable for breakfast television nowadays sadly.

I am not familial with Johnny Vaughan's recent work.

So it's merely hypothetical, I see.
