It all started going downhill with television. No, forget that. It was the printing press that ruined everything. The only entertainment people need is looking out of the window.
Big breakfast in the 90s was like a late night rather than an early morning, esp in the early days, everyone seemed half cut and shambolic! Sad that these days everything is so serious!
The 90s were closer to the mid to late 60s in spirit than they were to today. So The Big Breakfast always felt on borrowed time to me, as if running for more than five years would break the space time continuum. We will never have that Carry On-style Loaded kind of postmodernist yet innocently childlike, Southern-centric but with Northern tinges, inventiveness again in the same sincere kind of way. The likes of September 11 and, later, the credit crunch, seemed to pop that poptastic era to some extent.
That thing about the 60's and 90's, so true, I feel the same about the 90's, as my Mum does about the 60's. My 90's was all about college (when I wasn't in the pub next to it) best time ever!, mum's 60's was about being a Mod going around on the scooters, listening to Motown and Northern soul, things like that. Just can't beat those two decades.
I agree! I always loved Russell Brand on Big Brother's Big Mouth, in part I think because it was a throwback to the sort of spirited, creative, slightly shambolic atmosphere that characterised The Big Breakfast. These were people genuinely enjoying themselves, flowing and in the moment. You felt like anything could happen.
When I was on nights, a few of us would pile back to mine in the morning, have a few beers and watch BB. It was a really good substitute for having a laugh down the pub after work.
A short period of time in British history where society wasn't too bad at all. Wasn't perfect, but pretty bloody good. A bit of unity and playful, silly harmless joy sandwitched in between the tyranny of Thatcher and the hopeless mess of Johnson. A lovely period to look back on and just hope to return one day, maybe.
I agree. I think I'm going to watch old Big Breakfast shows each morning this summer to try to recreate that feeling of things being hopeful and optimistic.
....and then you brought politics into it. Bet you watch Good Morning Britain now for the left right arguments. Big breakfast rocked... "Woman in a tabard"
@@leighburton1658 Hi. No "left/right" arguments here. Just noticing the period of time the show was on found itself existing in a period between the two mentioned above, where there was particular social unrest, striking and high inflation, IMO having an influence on collective mood
I can remember getting ready for school watching this show i can remember my mum and dad playing the game where you could win a identical big breakfast house or along those lines me and my siblings used to buzz thinking we had a chance of winning the house and we'd get to move there
+bensons999 Not only is it hardwired into my brain, it's hardwired into my life. It's physically staring at me right now on one of the original address boards from the show, which takes pride of place in my home. *E3 2NN* always in my eyeline, every time I glance around this room.
Good old days. Now days you can’t say anything that could possibly upset someone who lives anywhere on the planet. Now we have all sorts of weirdos walking around demanding special treatment which they get so they don’t feel excluded. In them days you told the truth. Sorry worlds gone mad.
Richard Kyle listen to Radio X London Johnny Vaughan "4-7 Thing" just download the app or the podcast. I love his show and Chris Moyles is on in the morning.
@birdy100 I was going to upload the pun of the week in the next day or two, funnily enough, which will tag along after (yet another) a newspaper review! I wish I'd got the Friday song too but I don't think I have, unfortunately :o(

Seems like such a genuine lovely lass
Yup, well tidy
Sums up the 90s dam I miss the times this was the end off the golden era of humanity
Used to love watching this before secondary school in the morning. Ah memories.
Me too ...... although I hate Lisa tarbuck I used to perv at her , those massive 🍈 🍈😍

Better times. Just better times.
Exactly correct

100%
Watching this, you fast realize that we're actually in the apocalypse now.
We're now out of it! Woop!!
"I hope it's a really good session"
Oh my! I remember this so well.
If this aired today Johnny would be sacked after a Twitter backlash for parent shaming.

Man I miss this level of optimism
Fuck I miss the 90s
Bonkers shambolic nonsense. What fun! ☺️
It was a great to show. Had everything. Was a good time. Same era as "TFI Friday and The Word" great TVs shows. Remember Zig & Zag hahaha
Good memories :)
I skived off school once just to see what happens at the end
What happened?
Best programme ever on T.V used to go to work happy
me too

miss those days. breakfast tv would never come close to that
didn't realise how good this show was,seems such a long time ago!
coxy was gorgeous
I'll second that
I can remember getting ready for school watching this show i can remember my mum and dad playing the game where you could win a identical big breakfast house or along those lines me and my siblings used to buzz thinking we had a chance of winning the house and we'd get to move there
Steps of woe! Remember that, classic!
And now we have piers Morgan every morning.... Tory Britain... :(
I loved how Chaotic this show was 😂
I loved this show! Although it did used to make me late for work sometimes!
😂I'd forgotten all about steps of woe!

Yes there was.
Marc Beckerton there was loads. Media was consistently censored and banned, more so than now so this false rhetoric needs to stop
@@neilyringworm No chance. Vaughn would be in jail for half this shit now
I used to watch the big breakfast as a toddler and I absolutely loved it. Happy times before life turned to complete shit.
And now we have Daybreak.... :(
happy days. nothing ever come close to those anarchic tv mornings and Saturday mornings of TISWAS etc. and who could forget the old S.A.E.
Coxy true to form then a coke fiend crashes the party. I miss the 90's
You do know Johnny was imprisoned for dealing coke? 😂
@@reecee4171 That's probably where Bacon got it from then.
Rode past the BB House just 2 days ago. Couldn't see the house too well hidden 😢
It’s been completely remodelled unfortunately.
I miss the big breakfast, great presenter he was
Alex Yallop still is, he is on Radio X London.
What a show , was always a laugh
you forget how great this was
World was a better place here
Bring this mayhem back.
Ahhh SAEs - back when we had stamps. And envelopes. And knew where people lived IRL....
I haven't heard SAE for so many years, this jolted me a little haha
Wow. Not seen this show in years, I’d forgotten how many presenters were coke fiends. Makes sense now how the show was so high energy.
I hope it was a great session.

0:02 Alan Carr clapping with a headset on.
This shits all over Naga Munchetty
Miss the big breakfast. Don't turn on tv in the mornings now...
Priceless.
Ow and the rave days and this we were so lucky 🍀 ❤️🇬🇧✌🏼
star turn with zig n zag used to shout it in class to the teachers annoyance
The red herring game was so fun lol
Cox in, cox out, it's coxy
Back in the day !
Sending the Parents out of the room and keeping the kids would probably get you 10 years now.!!!
For some reason I can still remember the address for the Big Breakfast but I can't remember my fiancee's mobile number
BANGERS
If he's up for it? I wouldn't make it upstairs!
🤣🤣
I would have chewed off an arm if Coxy had been talking about me and I was handcuffed somewhere...
🤣🤣
Good grief, LT looking young :-O
Loved BB
Vaughan n Denise van outen were the bollocks started my day off right they did
denise certainly did
still does
This show was brilliant especially when it was Johnny & Denise/Liza
I miss big breakfast
Richard Kyle listen to Radio X London Johnny Vaughan "4-7 Thing" just download the app or the podcast. I love his show and Chris Moyles is on in the morning.
From a classic breakfast show like this to that tart mr Morgan 🥴
remember zig n zag?
I have the pun of the week from this episode. This was when i was also introduced to the friday song which i wish i had recorded!
Does anyone remember when coxy was on the bed with arnie.She said shed be his fluffer.Then arnie said "No thats a porno movie".
"Steps of Woe!" Oh dear.
What do you mean "Oh dear"? What's the problem?
And what will you be doing ritchie?
A few lines me thinks jonny! Lol
if you listen careful at 32 secs in im sure johnny says its how pissed off I got!
Good days
looks like a young alan carr 2 seconds in !

My nephew went on the show about looking after a chipmunk. And after about 2 min of demonstrating how to feed it keeled over and died .
Sorry to hear that, were you close to your nephew?
Wtf?? I don't remember that. What year was it?
@@krashd you win. 😂😂
Loved the day they had Deep purple on , Ian Gillan looked like he had been raised from the dead to be there.
Looks fun
It's strange but my one memory of the show is Johnny Vaughan trying to prove a neti pot didn't work. That went well.
Came here just for the Steps of Woe
morning TV used to be great why isn't it anymore?
whatever happens happens because you can't say or do anything without offending some group these days sadly
Morgan. Piers. Once he’s been gagged, things might return.
Two of these women have now womanned Radio 2. Along with Jo Whiley on a warm night.
Now you've got Piers fucking Morgan. 😅

The number of complaints ofcom would receive if this was broadcast now. Good times back then.
I was too young and just hated the Big Breakfast because it meant all the cartoons were over.
Saying that, I also remember being in love with Gabby Roslin when I was about 4 hahaha
Is that Alan Carr at 0.02?
looks like a day glo headache now
Coxy was gorgeous.
back in the girly show days when she was abit rebellious lol,
Is that Alan Carr 2secs in???
Nah, he was called Linton
epic
When was this aired ?
2000
Denise had a letter from Mr P Nurse at one time. True!! Or not, but it was on the show and funny as fuck!!
without denise this was not the same show
Iv just come here for a taste of how the country used to be...I know it was a tad fkt then, but now its totally fkt...
Someone said years ago about Americas obsession with all things PC but the UK seems to be worse.
Lucky she didn't swear - they used to gag guests for doing that!
Looks like Jo Whiley at 4:10 in?
Yes, it might well be. Although I think she was already doing Radio 1 by this point. In the early 90’s she worked behind the scenes on The Word
