All my teen years were in the 90's. What an absolute time to be alive. Big Breakfast, TGI Friday, Don't Forget Your Toothbrush, Oasis, Blur, The Verve & the indie music scene in general, Euro 96, Man U winning the treble and Club 18-30 holidays. Also, love Johnny Vaughan on Radio X on his 4 till 7 thang show. He hasn't changed a single bit. He still cracks me up now.
It all started going downhill with television. No, forget that. It was the printing press that ruined everything. The only entertainment people need is looking out of the window.
Big breakfast in the 90s was like a late night rather than an early morning, esp in the early days, everyone seemed half cut and shambolic! Sad that these days everything is so serious!
Definitely better times back then. You could wake up feeling ill and call the doctors at any point during that day and get an appointment with no problems. If it was worse, a hospital appointment within weeks and have scans blood tests all sorted and done, so many services all gone now in different areas we had more services and better back then but the technology was worse now the technology is excellent and most services are gone and far far worse. Better times back then.
The 90s were closer to the mid to late 60s in spirit than they were to today. So The Big Breakfast always felt on borrowed time to me, as if running for more than five years would break the space time continuum. We will never have that Carry On-style Loaded kind of postmodernist yet innocently childlike, Southern-centric but with Northern tinges, inventiveness again in the same sincere kind of way. The likes of September 11 and, later, the credit crunch, seemed to pop that poptastic era to some extent.
That thing about the 60's and 90's, so true, I feel the same about the 90's, as my Mum does about the 60's. My 90's was all about college (when I wasn't in the pub next to it) best time ever!, mum's 60's was about being a Mod going around on the scooters, listening to Motown and Northern soul, things like that. Just can't beat those two decades.
I agree! I always loved Russell Brand on Big Brother's Big Mouth, in part I think because it was a throwback to the sort of spirited, creative, slightly shambolic atmosphere that characterised The Big Breakfast. These were people genuinely enjoying themselves, flowing and in the moment. You felt like anything could happen.
I swear you could take all these archived shows and run them as is today and people would LOVE the nostalgia and watch them all. Many people hardly saw this show on its original run anyway as we were already at work or asleep lol. This would get more viewers than the tripe on in the mornings today
When I was on nights, a few of us would pile back to mine in the morning, have a few beers and watch BB. It was a really good substitute for having a laugh down the pub after work.
damn I miss the 90s ..to think we went from this to the likes of Rob Beckett and Jack Whitehall 😞used to love watching this in the morning slurping my cornflakes b4 going to work...especially on a Friday as would really set you up for the weekend mood for going out ..watching this always felt like you were gate-crashing a house party that had been going on all night...to think this was all going out live at 7.00am in the morning ...prob the last great era b4 social media, smart phones and everyone getting upset by everything...and taking themselves too seriously spoilt the fun for everyone....so glad I was born and grew up when I did 🙂
A short period of time in British history where society wasn't too bad at all. Wasn't perfect, but pretty bloody good. A bit of unity and playful, silly harmless joy sandwitched in between the tyranny of Thatcher and the hopeless mess of Johnson. A lovely period to look back on and just hope to return one day, maybe.
I agree. I think I'm going to watch old Big Breakfast shows each morning this summer to try to recreate that feeling of things being hopeful and optimistic.
....and then you brought politics into it. Bet you watch Good Morning Britain now for the left right arguments. Big breakfast rocked... "Woman in a tabard"
@@leighburton1658 Hi. No "left/right" arguments here. Just noticing the period of time the show was on found itself existing in a period between the two mentioned above, where there was particular social unrest, striking and high inflation, IMO having an influence on collective mood
I can remember getting ready for school watching this show i can remember my mum and dad playing the game where you could win a identical big breakfast house or along those lines me and my siblings used to buzz thinking we had a chance of winning the house and we'd get to move there
God, I miss those years. Watching at least an hour of the world's best improvised comedy, every day, before going to work. This is why the 90's were so good.
This was much watch tv in the morning before going to high school. Someone from my Village of Camelon in Falkirk won a competition and got abrand new car. This show was hilarious and it wouldn't fly in todays world that is offended by anything and everything.
I loved big breakfast back in the day.. been nothing like this for years, i get my little fix listening to radio x from 4pm with Jonny Vaughan, guy's a legend! Still very funny
Absolutely wild back then. I really respect the camera work. Great angles, getting in close and keeping it moving. I'm so glad I was old enough to experience the 1990s. Great times.
Sara was probably still pissed from the night before. She was one of the laddette TV/Radio presenters who's raucous behaviours on nights out was the stuff of legend. Others include Zoe Ball, Gail Porter, Sarah Cawood, Donna Air, Claire Gorham, Rachel Williams, and Jayne Middlemiss.
+bensons999 Not only is it hardwired into my brain, it's hardwired into my life. It's physically staring at me right now on one of the original address boards from the show, which takes pride of place in my home. *E3 2NN* always in my eyeline, every time I glance around this room.
Hard to believe there was a time when presenters didn't have to worry about what they said every time they opened their mouths through fear of offending somebody. You can now see the fear in presenters faces every time a guest says something that might offend 0.001% of the viewers and a swift apology usually follows. Modern TV is now way too sanitised and the viewers are treated like children.
Good old days. Now days you can’t say anything that could possibly upset someone who lives anywhere on the planet. Now we have all sorts of weirdos walking around demanding special treatment which they get so they don’t feel excluded. In them days you told the truth. Sorry worlds gone mad.

If this aired today Johnny would be sacked after a Twitter backlash for parent shaming.
It was a great to show. Had everything. Was a good time. Same era as "TFI Friday and The Word" great TVs shows. Remember Zig & Zag hahaha
Good memories :)
Hahaaa 😂
It was a bit after TFI Friday and The Word. Hi from the future
Ahhh the eighties and nineties when every thing was fun , banter , jest and taken tongue in cheek . RIP normality.
Watching this, you fast realize that we're actually in the apocalypse now.
We're now out of it! Woop!!
