Presenter and fitness guru Diana Moran and journalist and author Debbie Rix are among the familiar faces who will help celebrate the 40th anniversary of BBC Breakfast later this month. The BBC’s morning news programme, originally called Breakfast Time, launched on January 17 1983.
To celebrate 40 years of BBC Breakfast, viewers will be taken on a journey back to the very first show with archive footage, viewers’ favourites and special guests. On January 17, current presenters Jon Kay and Sally Nugent will be on the BBC Breakfast sofa for an anniversary edition of the show.
It will include a special half-hour when it will be rebranded to the original programme – Breakfast Time, and the team will also bring back the original and nostalgic vintage clock.
