BBC Breakfast celebrates 40-year anniversary

BBC Breakfast hosts Sally Nugent and Jon Kay have shared their memories of watching the first episode of the show’s predecessor 40 years ago.
Tuesday morning’s episode of BBC Breakfast marks the 40th anniversary of the programme - which launched as Breakfast Time on January 17 1983.
When it first aired, Breakfast Time was revolutionary, mixing hard news with showbusiness, gossip, health and even a daily astrology segment.
Tuesday’s show also saw a return of the Breakfast Time on-screen analogue clock.Special guests included former weatherman Francis Wilson and the so-called “Green Goddess” - health and fitness guru Diana Moran.

Happy 40th Anniversary BBC Breakfast

I wouldn’t have seen it 1983, as this was when I first arrived in London from the tranquility of an Essex town to the big smoke of London, they were tough interesting times.

They should NEVER have messed with the original format.

Seems far, far longer........ It would be interesting to compare the salaries - paid to presenters today, compared to those paid 40 years ago.
Have they kept up with inflation?????? Or are BBC salaries private?

They should remake the intro with some adaptive Blocks tho

I HATE the new huge clock. Blue, puts me off the programme, can't tell the accurate time now

It was just for the day and the digital clock will be back tomorrow
