Big Breakfast, The Reviews

The big breakfast was a show run in the 90's that got me up for my days at primary school and then secondary school, it was a brilliant show for all ages providing great entertainment in the morning, which doesn't exist these days, around the time i watched it, it was presented by the likes of Johnny Vaughan, Denise Van Outen, Richard Bacon and ...  Read the complete review

If ever there was a programme dying to make a comeback, it's this one. If ever there was a series, so sorely missed, it was this: A groundbreaking breakfast show that replaced the utterly bland and dire Channel 4 News at breakfast time on weekdays. This was avant-garde TV which , since its brutal axing, has never really been replaced with a worthy ...  Read the complete review

Having watched The Big Breakfast for a few weeks for the purposes of reviewing it I have to ask the question : what is Johnny Vaughan supposed to be? During Comic Relief last year he proved he cannot sing, he clearly has no views on anything so he's not a pundit, he doesn't interview anyone other than to set up a feeble 'gag'. As yet he hasn't ...  Read the complete review

Why oh why oh why oh why, have Channel Four taken away the only cheerful breakfast television programme and replaced it with absolute drivvle??? I don't think Channel Four will ever be able to pull in massive breakfast ratings, but if they thought the BB's were low then just wait until that RI:SE has been on for a couple of weeks. ...  Read the complete review

I found myself in a "horrible limbo" in the week that followed the BB ending recently. Viewers were faced with a childrens' programme instead of the BB while channel 4 got to work on the final touches of "Rise", BB's successor. I have to confess that I actually cried when it last aired a few weeks ago. It ...  Read the complete review

The Big Breakfast Over the nine and a half years on Air, I grew to love the big breakfast; I have watched it practically since it began, my earliest memory being of 'more tea vicar'. Over the years it has had many presenters, the most successful in my opinion were Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen, although Kelly Brook was ...  Read the complete review

well the big breakfast no longer exsists and it has made my mornings different. Although the big breakfast has never been the same since jonny vaughn left.I think he was the best presenter ever and i loved big breakie when it used to be on tv although the one thing i don't miss is that annoying squeky and richard bacon i think they spoilt the ...  Read the complete review

Like Channel 4 are ever going to get good ratings at 7am! - Advantages: Tongue-in-cheek humour. - Disadvantages: Presented by minor celebrities.

The big breakfast was highly over-rated when Chris Evans and Gabby Roslin presented it and only really came to life once Johnny Vaughan entered and brought with him some wit and some well overdue new blood to the programme. The beauty of the programme is that it never claims to be the best breakfast programme or the one attracting all the star ...  Read the complete review

Almost every TV station worldwide has an early morning breakfast show.These are designed to help ease us in to our day with interesting issues,fun and the headline news that we are waking up to. Channel4 is no exception,It has it's own style of breakfast show "Big Breakfast", Its aimed mainly at the teen and middle age ...  Read the complete review

The Big Breakfast should carry a health warning - "STOP! This TV Programme can seriously rot your brain"... As I'm sure you're all aware, another of the methods used to control society (see my other recent opinions on the subject) is to keep public entertainment at a very low intellectual level. Hence the rise of such TV ...  Read the complete review

Updated April 2002 I really can’t believe that the big breakfast has been axed. What’s a person supposed to do in a morning with no Richard Bacon, Squeaky Mcclean and Amanda Byrom. I mean Eammon Holmes and Fiona Phillips first thing in the morning is enough to put anyone off their breakfast. The Big Breakfast has had some ...  Read the complete review

I can remember watching the big breakfast a few years ago when Chris Evans and Gaby Roslin used to present it and it was really good because Chris Evans used to my the most boring things sometimes seem really funny and when both of them quit i thought that no-one could be as good as them. Then Johnny Vauhgn and Denise Van Outen came aling and it ...  Read the complete review

"On friday 27th april the whole of Britain will be prepareing themselves for the ultimate game of the gods". this is what Richard bacon assures us and hes kind of right. Wonga is definitely prime time tv, you can't miss it, but the game is simply a beefed up version of "jenga" or "uno stacko" the ones where you ...  Read the complete review

I used to enjoy being rudely awoken in the morning by Johnny Vaughan and Liza Tarbuck. I used to nearly fall of the sofa laughing at Johnny’s controversial jokes and funny innuendoes! I used to love the way members of the crew were sent to the ‘Steps of Woe’ for undermining Johnny’s vital statistics! Liza left and ...  Read the complete review

This show was once a staple part of my early morning routine. I would get up at the ridiculous time of 7.00am just to watch this. But that was then, in the glory days of Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen. Since their departure, this show has turned into a mockery. Johnny and Denise were a perfect partnership. The chemistry between them ...  Read the complete review

The Big Breaky used to be on in my house every weekday morning. The great presenters like Chris Evens, Denise, and Johny are the people who made it what it was. Now though, to my dissapointment, the show has had a face lift and two new presenters along with Donna Air have been added into the mix. This combination doesn't work, especially when ...  Read the complete review

After watching the big breakfast since the biging all those years ago, I have seen it through the good (of course Jonny and Denise) and the bad (all the other presenters with the exception of Donna Air). I was jumping for joy when I heard that Van Outen was coming back to the Big B as no-one can compete with her on-screen chemistry with ...  Read the complete review

When Denise left, i thought that would be it. But i was wrong, but then again I was very amused to hear that she was to be returning to the show, last year. But all of a sudden the two greatest combination of presentors on the nations TV, have left us at the same time, sob, sob! Yeah, the fantasticly talented funny man - Johnny Vaughan ...  Read the complete review
