BBC Breakfast turns back the clock on 40th birthday
Several former stars of Bbc Breakfast have returned to The Show for its 40th birthday celebrations.
Francis Wilson , Russell Grant and Debbie Rix were among The familiar faces returning to The famous red sofa.
Diana Moran , aka The Green Goddess, also turned back The Clock to lead an exercise routine at Waterloo Station .
The original blue-and-yellow analogue clock returned to The bottom-right of The screen, replacing The current red digital clock for One Day only.
The First episode of Bbc Breakfast aired on 17 January 1983.
Also on Tuesday's programme:
" People said television in The Morning , that's disgusting. Some even said it was immoral. "
Forty years on, Ron Neil, who was The First editor of Breakfast Time knew there were doubts about this strange new arrival on television.
But everything had changed at The Corporation when The News broke that their rival was about to take The early morning plunge.
The Bbc , he says, " hummed, it hawed, it hesitated… And Then one bright day Itv announced it was going to do breakfast TV and from That Day onwards The Bbc decided it was going to do Breakfast Television and it was going to do it first.
" The question was what would be The Mood of this new type of programme. Ron and The rest of The Team had A Vision .
" Everyone thought it should be welcoming, it should be light hearted. It shouldn't be a boring man behind a desk giving you a lecture. I'm not sure that we said to Frank Bough to wear a jumper.
" I just think Frank decided to put on a jumper. Within a few weeks, ladies up and down The Land began to knit jumpers for Frank. "
Also watching on that first day were their slightly disgruntled rivals at Itv - The Bbc had sneaked in ahead of them by Two Weeks . But, The original TV AM formula was rather more formal and serious than The Bbc .
It was not what The pundits or The advertisers had been expecting and for TV AM it was to be The Beginning of a rather rocky period.
17 January 1983 was just The Beginning . Breakfast TV was not just a new arrival in The schedules it was to be for months, Front Page news.
On Tuesday, another former presenter, Dan Walker tweeted that it had been a " real privilege" to have hosted The Show for Six Years .
Walker, who previously presented The programme opposite Louise Minchin , wrote: " Happy 40th birthday to Bbc Breakfast .
" It is a special programme, made by an brilliant, dedicated team and it continues to be an important show for The huge, loyal audience. "
