One of my favourite lines was Johnny Vaughn saying that Richard Bacon has a "nose for trouble" just after Bacon got kicked off Blue Peter for his coke use
There was a fantastic moment where Bacon, now reporting for TBB, tried to walk into TV Centre and do an impromptu interview with someone. As the security guards dragged him out he shouted "I can't believe you're throwing me out again!". It wasn't a particularly funny gag in itself, but it was the fact that he was willing to lean into the joke that impressed me. Most media types would have just tried to pretend it never happened but he knew it was what he was most famous for and he went with it. Ironically, he's now had a much, much longer and more prominant TV/radio career than just about any other BP presenter of the last 30 years.
@@DustyCustard he didn't keep that a secret. There was one episode in which he and Liza Tarbuck interviewed each other and she bought it up. Instead of laughing it off he actually went into a surprising amount of detail about what happened and how prison affected him.
@@craigcharlesworth1538Yeah, only because the other media types are high on coke themselves. The stench of hypocrisy after they threw him off BP is overwhelming.
I was once on the big breakfast singing a song about rhubarb. Johnny and Denise had good chemistry. It was good at the time. I was late for school most mornings just so i could watch nonsense segments such as 'more tea vicar' 😊
I never saw a single episode of TBB, despite being bang in the target demographic. Breakfast TV was never a thing in my house. However, once, in 1994 they apparently gave away a house, a replica of the house they filmed in, and the day before I delivered a portable toilet to it. Thats it. That’s my story. I’m available for after dinner speeches and works team bonding days.
Same, we lived a 10 minutes walk from school so it was pretty much over by the time we were getting ready I think, plus I remember my mum had radio 2 on usually. Just enough time to eat corn flakes and toast (Christ how nonsensical our diets were) and out the door.
This programme is the reason I got kicked out of high school. I just couldn’t leave the house till it finished so they got fed up of me arriving late every morning.
When I think of Kelly Brooke on the show I for some reason always think of her standing up to Wayne Hemmingway who was being rude about travellers. It came across as very brave considering how young she was and how established and authoritative he was
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched on CZcams and really scratched my nostalgia itch. Plus I loved reading some of the comments too. Got yourself a subscriber!
Thanks for listening and doing Big Breakfast. Seriously dude, you're my Vergil in my journeys through UK TV Hell. I love you, Millard! Keep it up. Cheers
Zig and Zags segments were my absolute favourite part of Big Breakfast. There was an episode with them both meeting Robin Williams that I always remember as being utterly chaotic and some of the funniest TV I'd ever seen.
This is already one of my favourite channels- the footage and content is everything great about the telly I watched growing up- sort of daft and cringey and brilliant in equal measure. Love the sarcastic, irreverent tone of the narration too. Please do a video about Games World on Sky One! I cherished that bloody show as a kid
I can see it wouldn’t be everyone’s cuppa, but I used to absolutely bloody love the Johnny and Denise era. Listening to him going through that pile of morning papers, peppered with Pat Butcher impressions from Denise, just made me that bit more cheery, heading off for college or work or whatever I was doing back then.
Two twats on cocaine, making subtle ["WE'RE ON COCAINE!"] jokes every 15 seconds, and their "mates" in the floor staff dutifully guffawing along. Honestly, if Hell exists, that's where they'll send me.
As a presenter Chris Evans was slick (although he could have been a bit more professional) but one classic was when he was showing an 'indestructible' watch and somebody suggested hitting it with a hammer. He did and the watch smashed. He had about two hours left to go and he was relying on the watches' strength to keep it holding out until 9am. He was completely lost for words and he had to bluff his way up to the commercials in order to get his head together and have a quick emergency backroom discussion about how to fill the remaining time.
Stuart, such a niche but brilliant channel. I'm so glad to have stumbled on it. The nostalgia is so strong, and sits nicely alongside witty and deft analysis. I was 12 when Big Breakfast aired in '94, and while I have some recollection of Chris Evans presenting, Johnny Vaughn/Denise Van Outen/Lisa Tarbuck is more cosily familiar. It was a bit of a surrealist masterpiece. Where else to see Macho Man Randy Savage* and John Major or Johnny Depp and the Dalai Lama... 2 million viewers is incredible, really. Pre-internet TV could capture an audience in ways that simply won't happen now because of an endless choice of content for individuals to pick and curate. We got what we were given back in '97...and sometimes we were all better for it. Watching BB was an automatic and vital part of the morning routine for myself and my circle of friends. It was an addendum to the era (Britpop, Spice Girls, Johnny Depp, Ryan Giggs, WWF, supermodels, Playstation, Schinder's List and Euro '96, Premier Leauge, Jurrasic Park, Michael's Barrymore and Jackson, Pat Sharp, lads mags, Oasis v Blur etc) and by being that, Big Breakfast became a part of the cultural conversation. The mad energy can't be overlooked either; it was a great pick-me-up, especially when contrasted with the stodgy and lifeless "competition" on other channels that would inevitably send viewers back to sleep... Anyway... Keep the content coming, Stuart, hope your videos find the audience they deserve. *I wish Jim Hellwig could have appeared on BB in character. That really would have been an insane surrealist masterpiece
Love this video Stuart…them were the days , with snail mail address and telephone number to contact the show. Thought I’d let you know, I saw the guy who played Interceptor on an episode of Grange Hill playing a refuse collector. Circa 1990, so would’ve been after his fish eagling and point blank zapping
I am both ashamed and proud to say I adored JV and DvO’s initial run (as well as JV and Liza Tarbuck’s later team up) - it was part of my morning routine, I knew all the injokes. Even the mention here of Carpet Monster made me grin Yet, you are so right - it’s the very epitome of late 90s lad culture. Throw in a copy of FHM (with a Jo Guest cover of course), and you’ve got the period captured in amber
Big Breakfast reminds me of my college days of sitting in the TV room before going to lesson. This was a time when Channel 4 had off the wall TV programs. It was cheesy in places, presenters and guests never knew what was going on and most of us were half asleep, but I liked the wakey humour and banter.
I used to watch TBB when I was in school, but once we got Sky it was replaced by watching DJ Kat and Power Rangers. I do remember catching the odd episode with Johnny & Denise, and a few with Kelly Brook and lovely Jasmine Lowson reading the news. Those halcyon days.
Fabulous work as ever. One thing that came out at the time, has been forgotten but feels like a fascinating alternate reality is despite the entire FHM cover star list being sounded out Johnny Vaughan's reputed first choice as Denise's replacement was Lauren Laverne, who'd barely done any TV presenting by then but apparently did an excellent pilot with him before deciding she didn't want to commit to early mornings and wanted to still be involved in music (although she and him later worked together on his BBC Three shows)
Lauren Laverne is genuinely witty, so I could see her being an excellent co-presenter alongside JV. Possibly even better than DvO, who always seemed (to me) to just be following JV's lead.
From searching, some of the Christmas and New Years episodes are available in full on CZcams, like one that aired on Christmas Day 1997 and a Millennium special that aired for 8 hours from half past Midnight through to 9 am on New Years Day 2000.
I remember Keith's "Wake up you beggars. It's Cheggars!" Keith for comedy purposes doing his knock on doors routine under a daily topic of "Nosy neighbours". Goes to an older lady's house, asks her: "Are you a nosy neighbour?" "Yes I am" "What have you seen?" "Somebody's having a affair!" Keith got a bit flustered about that one. 🤣
Its weird to think that the house was turned into the TBB building, and has now reverted to a house with no clues as to the famous people and craziness that happened within 😂
Always remember Zig & Zags finest moment when Chris Evans seemed to have temporarily slipped character and was doing a lost pet segment. He showed a photo of a viewers missing cat and one of Zig & Zag morosely mumbled ‘it’s probably dead’.
Big breakfast was one of my fond memories used to do a paper round and used to start at 5am and made sure I was home for it by 7 and watched it till I left for school at 8:30ish I preferred the chris Evans era.As usual and excellent video mate love all your stuff always gives me a laugh.
I worked for a Company that worked for/with the Production Co., all i can say is it was just after 'the Acid House' days...and they had all moved on to 'Alkaloids' from Latin America , the 'lock' House was busy 24/7 .... as you can Imagine
I was going to enthuse about the half second glimpse of Lisa Rogers but worried I’d be transported back to 1997 by some kind of wa-hey humour Time Machine so I shan’t comment on it!
Bret Hart once described Johnny Vaughan on his website blog as 'the English Adam Sandler'. I think Bret meant that as a compliment. If the Hitman puts you over...
Did like Vaughan back in the day as a presenter but his ‘comedy styling’ was just a very simple trick of emphasising random words. Like Trump’s Twitter.
Finally an origin story to Russell Tovey's character in Him 'n' Her pulling "Have a nice one" from deep in his subconscious. (This whole video is terrific)
God, I'd long forgotten about the creepy national obsession with Anna Kournikova. It was around the same time as the inexplicable national obsession with Charlie Dimmock on Ground Force and all those endless 'CHARLIE'S DIMMOCKS' tabloid headlines - the late '90s/early '00s really was a cultural nadir
I loved the big breakfast with Evans and Roslin. Even as an annoying prick 16 year old Vaughn got on my tits. A random memory for me is they used to interview people with obscure collections; like a person who collected traffic cones. They would always ask for your 'first, worst and favourite three' of the collection. I still do this whenever I see peoples collections.
I remember not long after he had a talk show.I don’t think it made it past 1 series but I just remember seeing an episode and remember he would tell a joke then quickly explain his joke when it got no laughs.As much as it’s possible it just wasn’t funny the fact he spoke so quick like he couldn’t wait to get any thought in his head out wouldn’t have helped either
@leejones8582 oddly enough no. It was how Peter Kaye was lovely and fun and Melanie Sykes was miserable and didn't want to utter a word that wasn't scripted - that may also come as no surprise 🤣
In hindsight, TBB's forced laddish jollity is far preferable to all the rage-bait of today's breakfast/early morning TV. I'd much rather wake up wanting to laugh than be woken by the latest two-hour-hate against woke gay tradeunionist refugees (or whomever Radio 5 live/Talksport/GMTV need me to hate today). What did folk make of the recent attempt to revive TBB with AJ Odudu? Don't phone. It's just for fun.
The revival was fine, except what they hell was it doing on Saturdays instead of weekdays? It was a show for geeing you up and giving you some energy before work/school. It just doesn't work as a weekend show.
I have a fond memory of being late for school because Vaughn reading a story about a french pensioner trying to squash a cyclist whilst chanting "murderer" was making me piss myself laughing.
I was waiting for the end where you revealed that you Google / Facebook searched the couple in question and told us in what happened to them in the 25 years following their TV wedding.
There's part of me that wonders if and that hopes that they're still happily married. There's also part of me that knows I'll be distracted by something else shortly but then will wake up in the early hours of the morning tomorrow with an urgent need to Google myself down a rabbit hole about whether they're still together.
Does anyone else remember Chris Evans' 'Gaby for Grease' campaign? Grease the musical was due to open in the West End and they were casting, so Chris was campaigning for Gaby to be cast in the show.
Another brilliant video, cheers! I used to record the big breakfast, probably still have loads of episodes on vhs. I've a suggestion for a review for you, Bad Lads Army. 😁
Nice retrospective, I never warmed to this back at the time. Far too noisy in the early morning for me. Chris Evans also irritated me more than it's easy to describe adequately... could have mentioned Zig and Zag a bit more, they were by far the best thing in my opinion.
STUART! SORRY FOR BARGING INTO THE COMMENTS OF AN UNRELATED VIDEO, BUT NIGEL FARAGE IS FIGHTING WITH THE PRODDY VICAR FROM BREAD! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, WE NEED YOUR BREAD TAKE!
Wahey! I didn't realise the audience for "The Big Breakfast"'s predecessor was such a select crowd. I remember that show for Mark Lawson, the cartoon "Dennis" and every slot on that show being repeated every half hour. Anyway, this video took me right back to my A-level days and needing to be out the door no later than 8.07 to catch the 8.20 bus. I thought Lily Savage replaced Paula Yates (must have blanked Vanessa Feltz from my memory). I . quite liked Gaby Roslin and both Marks Lamar and Little. Never could stand Johnny "hey gang!" Vaughn and Dick Bacon. I struggle to find profanity sufficient enough to express my disdain for Chris Evans. Johnny "hey gang!" Vaughn has never ever said/done anything funny on camera but gives a constant "well that just happened" running commentary that'd make today's worst live streamers blush.
I am nostalgic for the summer 6 week holidays when you could watch the big breakfast all the way til the end! 😂
Heh, yep that was a treat.
That Woman’s Own headline regarding Vanessa Feltz is quite something.
‘FRIENDS FEAR SHE’S DRINKING CUSTARD AGAIN’
Big bird back on the Birds, big time.
Brilliant
She's a custard gannet
Ambrosia of life.

It can never be overstated the impact The Big Breakfast made on British television.
this is giving me PTSD watching this, all the "hurry up, your going to be late" shouting is flooding back....🙃
The best Breakfast show ever, used to send me to school so happy

There's also part of me that knows I'll be distracted by something else shortly but then will wake up in the early hours of the morning tomorrow with an urgent need to Google myself down a rabbit hole about whether they're still together.
Wow, I didn’t realise I watched this for so long. Can’t believe it went on into the 2000s.

One of those shows that makes eternity in Hell seem the better option?
Does anyone else remember Chris Evans' 'Gaby for Grease' campaign? Grease the musical was due to open in the West End and they were casting, so Chris was campaigning for Gaby to be cast in the show.
Nicely compiled 👍
Another brilliant video, cheers! I used to record the big breakfast, probably still have loads of episodes on vhs. I've a suggestion for a review for you, Bad Lads Army. 😁
Nice retrospective, I never warmed to this back at the time. Far too noisy in the early morning for me. Chris Evans also irritated me more than it's easy to describe adequately... could have mentioned Zig and Zag a bit more, they were by far the best thing in my opinion.
STUART! SORRY FOR BARGING INTO THE COMMENTS OF AN UNRELATED VIDEO, BUT NIGEL FARAGE IS FIGHTING WITH THE PRODDY VICAR FROM BREAD! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, WE NEED YOUR BREAD TAKE!

The big breakfast radicalized me. Johnny Vaughn made me hate posh boys pretending to be working class lads.
From 16:15 - "ahaha ha, ahahaha, ahahaha, ahahaha ha....haha....ha......ha..........NEWS"
Alan’s deep bath!
You are the funniest person on CZcams.
Keep up the Great work ✌️
Wahey! I didn't realise the audience for "The Big Breakfast"'s predecessor was such a select crowd. I remember that show for Mark Lawson, the cartoon "Dennis" and every slot on that show being repeated every half hour. Anyway, this video took me right back to my A-level days and needing to be out the door no later than 8.07 to catch the 8.20 bus. I thought Lily Savage replaced Paula Yates (must have blanked Vanessa Feltz from my memory). I . quite liked Gaby Roslin and both Marks Lamar and Little. Never could stand Johnny "hey gang!" Vaughn and Dick Bacon. I struggle to find profanity sufficient enough to express my disdain for Chris Evans. Johnny "hey gang!" Vaughn has never ever said/done anything funny on camera but gives a constant "well that just happened" running commentary that'd make today's worst live streamers blush.
