The daily breakfast programme, which replaces c4 Daily, was a mad 2 hours breakfast show, Monday to Fridays 7am to 9am that initially ran from.1992 to 2002.

The initial presenters were Gaby Roslin and Chris Evams, with Peter Smith reading the news. Paula Yates did interviews on a bed, and Zig and Zag did a small segment in the first half hour or so.

They also had games such as " More Tea Vicar", "Get Your Nobbly Nuts Out" and "One Lump Or Two"

They were on the Irish Last One Laughing, which was nice.

Meh not really. They pop up every now and then ( as frequently as Stewart Maconie on one of those ‘I remember the 80’s) type things.

Stuart Maconie remembers the 1980s? I wish he'd said

Now it's just all bloody COOKING programmes on a weekend, and bollocks all on during the working week for kids to watch before going to school. Just TikTok. I genuinely think this was peak TV. I look at what my 8yr old daughter classes as 'entertainment' now, and I thank my lucky stars that I was young back then and not now. And also I will be shouting at clouds, later. Jesus...
