The Good, The Bad and The Early

Dressed as a woman possibly!

I do miss the Big Breakfast, but three years on wouldn't want it to return. It's an important piece of television history, and the return of programmes from the dead rarely works as it spoils the nostalgic memories.

Whatever they do they should launch a new breakfast programme with no fanfare or hype, just sneak it on air with no publicity and let the format evolve, grow and gain viewers naturally.

What they shouldn't do is overhype it like they did to RI:SE

{EDIT: To Brekkie Boy's post...} AKA: Only Fools and Horses

I can't stand Russell Brand. He talks fast and finishes his sentances with an annoying slur. Does he come from a poor background or something?

Is he a hybrid of Russell Grant and Jo Brand?

It will be interesting to see what approach this programme takes. I doubt they'll go for a house setting, etc. It will most probably be in similar style to BB's EForum of him sitting at a desk discussing the day's events in an irrelevant view and then having guests on and people on the phone.

It may be interesting to see how it fills 2 hours. Hopefully it won't be like RI:SE Mk1 and repeat the same things every half an hour, not even GMTV's that bad!

Maybe a good approach for a new show would have been to take 4 different faces/pairs of faces and maybe even either 2 or 4 producers under one exec and produce either 2 or 4 different half an hour/hour programmes that link in with one another.

Going back to RI:SE, the problem I saw was that Mk1 had a bit of a boring and repetitive edge, that they seemed to fix, come the time that they decided to get rid of it, it was quite a nice relaxing show that could have easily become hard news for the war the following year, yet they did have a great set, which was bright and nice and had the ability to change due to the screens.

As for RI:SE Mk2, it had the right idea with the area that it was going down, though for me it could have done with a bright loud lit set instead of the bare brick, and maybe a nice loud theme and set of titles.

IF both versions were mixed together, it may have created a good show.

Interesting idea.But MoM wasn't too big a launch and they still havent got a big audience.

BTW,I wonder what the titles and set will be like.Would anyone care to do some mocks?

My main problem with him is that he can't stop waving his hands around - sooo distracting. Someone please tie them behind his back with a cable-tie!

(BTW, completely agree with your Jimmy Carr comment in your sig nok! The man makes my skin crawl.)
