Sheer nostalgia. Another example of TV done much better then, than it is today. Great title sequence, great theme tune, great presenters.
BBC Brekafast is still quite professional and has the mix of national and local news, weather, interviews, sport and lighter features that made the original so good. I'm not saying Breakfast is brilliant and Naga Munchetty can be annoying and condescending, but compared with the competition ridden, rather low brow alternative on ITV it's so much better. Viewers agree and Breakfast has twice as many viewers as Good Morning Britain.
@@Glenn1967ful I think the best BBC Breakfast presenter of the current day is Charlie Stayt. He is a consummate professional. I agree with your remarks regarding Naga. She interrupts and cuts across her interviewees and has quite an irritating broadcast voice.
Bring back the BBC1 globe
I remember getting up to watch this. A herculean effort for an 11 year old.
Me too, also 11 at the time!
Same here, except I was a surly grumpy typical 18 year old teenager! I remember the chills going down my spine!
Ask my mother!!!!
Same here
I was twelve years and seven months at the time. Unforgettable, especially Selina Scott!
I always liked the little clock in the lower right, very handy in the morning.
It seemed more relaxed than today's equivalent.
The man who launched Britain's first ever regular breakfast television programme BBC Breakfast Time has died on Wednesday 21st October 2020 aged 87. RIP Frank Bough.
Grandstand and others programmes, RIP Frank Bough
He would never be selected for this programme now.
Amazing how strongly Selina Scott resembles Prince William. She could be his sister.
I was never keen on him after watching him on boring-stuffy Grandstand.
RIP to an old perv who? Who sexually harrased Selina and was a chauvinistic hypocrite when it came to sex workers? Sure.
Whatever You think of Frank Bough, he was a natural consumate professional presenter/broadcaster.

Professional on screen - not off
@@kunle1928 What he did was between consenting adults and he was outed by someone wanting to make a quick buck from the News Of The World. It destroyed Bough's career at the BBC, although he did sort of make a comeback on LBC and ITV for a time.
@@Glenn1967ful He was also caught snorting cocaine and made unwanted advances and unflattering comments towards females at work, hardly professional.
@@kunle1928 Fern Britton has said that he once whispered in her ear: 'how long do you think it will be before you and I are having an affair?'
Wow, that view of London... no London Eye, no Shard... looks so nice!
I would have been 10, still in primary school and look I know the 80s were tough on folk both in politics and employment BUT for me there is always that real sense of joy, and hope
This intro is so simple yet just wonderful, a sun rising .. a new start etc.
A great time to be a kid what with BMX ATARI/Commodore 64, great movies, breakdancing and so much more ... Wonderful times
I was twelve at the time and in my second year at senior school. Remember it very well.
I remember the day this started as a kid in school
I find this so cool because my dad would probably be having breakfast and getting ready for school while watching this
LoL, I don't have children so didn't think of it like that, but you just made me feel my age with that comment since I was born 1980. 40 years is a long time, seeing it wrote down brings it home harder😆 Thank for that, I'm not egotistical at all so appreciated the comment, Take care and stay safe to yourself and family over the holidays in these tough days👍👍👍
This seemed so exciting at the time..........
Today is Thursday 17 January 2019 - 36 years a go today this first aired.
I was born in summer 1980, so was still only 2 years old when this aired, but I can still remember these credits because it was on every morning, they didn't change the visuals for a few years, although the music and visuals got better when it changed. This is so nostalgic, takes me back to old Atari's and He-Man, hard to imagine we only had 3 tv channels in those days. Being so young back then, this reminds me how innocently I viewed the world, thanks for this trip down a very distant memory lane, when life was more simple👍👍👍
PS, I didn't notice Nick Ross sitting there when I wrote the above, that's a man I have little respect for since he said he " would watch kiddie porn if given a chance ", and he was a face on Crimewatch, a little reminder to me of the sickness at the BBC which has washed away some of the nostalgia I felt, suddenly I'm wishing for the ignorance of youth lol. What a dichotomy to experience in a couple minutes.
I would have been twelve and so ten years older than you (53 in June!) In my second year at senior school at the time.
Happy Birthday BBC Breakfast Time 👍
Loved Breakfast Time.
40 years ago tomorrow.
That theme echoing up the stairs ment it was a school day and it was time to get up.
I was 9 months when this was on
I was twelve and in my second year at senior school back then!
this gives morings a lovely feeling
I liked this rather 'cozy' format that breakfast TV adopted in the early days. I suspect this being more of an American idea imported but used around the World. The fake living room and soft lighting and furnishings all added to that ambience. Short of the presenters actually having mugs of coffee and tea, or drinking orange juice and nibbling at pieces of buttered toast. You got that breakfast time vibe.
I agree with you, it was easier to generate and communicate a friendly cosy ambience when the presenters wore casual attire.
Selina Scott 😍 wow! And of course nick "don't have nightmares" Ross!
Does anyone know who composed the title music? I've been searching on Google but keep coming up with George Fenton which I think is not correct as he composed the countdown version later.
I was twelve years old at the time. Totally forgot that it started on that day.
Same age as me then. I was in my second year at senior school and not thirteen until the summer (which actually fell on General Election Day that year!)
I can remember this show with Richard Whitmore among others

I,was nearly 8 years old,nearly 50 now,lol.
34 years of breakfast time and still going strong.
BBC Breakfast still has elements of the original programme, presenters on a sofa, a mixture of serious and lighter articles, regional news and a strong female presenter alongside a male presenter.
@@Glenn1967ful Breakfast time will be 40 years old in just over 3 months time.
How did it go from this to the full boring rubbish from Salford every day.
35 years today....
It was all downhill after this.
I was born on this Day
What a beautiful manner the girl presenter has and gorgeous accent and pronounciation! Wow, I wonder why that style has disappeared? Can't think of anyone on television now who actually sounds like that. Strange huh?
Too white, too middle class, too English, too “entitled”, too “privileged”, too “posh”
@@theglumrant9477 :(
Someone like Susanna Reid might be a modern equivalent, to a point. Of course the whole style of presentation has changed significantly since the '80s.
1:25 Breakfast Time Teaser
From 6:30 To 9 O’Clock Only here on Breakfast Time
And 3 weeks later TV AM launched
Not so much breakfast television more like car crash television.
Can this really be over 40yrs ago?
What they say ....there's no such thing as bad publicity? Try telling that to Frank boff-
he was ahead of his time.
These days folks who dress up like he did and do the things he did are protected minorities.
Happy 40th Birthday!! I was 21 and I can remember getting up specially to watch it. Where did the years go?
I would have been twelve and in my second year at senior school then (now aged 52!) My brother Anthony also watched it - he would have been fifteen (55 now).
I was hoping you were going to have the worldwide greetings, never mind!
Look for 'Transdiffusion Breakfast Time' and you'll find a fuller clip which features them.
Yeah we try not to go over 2-3 minutes for clips other than in exceptional circs.
0:16 What BBC Announcer is this?
Pretty Selina certainly helped the extra early morning dose of propaganda go down. More TV really wasn't good for anyone, but back then, I lapped it up like a simpleton, imagining it was progress.
In my head, TV-AM was the colour show full of fun and this was the boring BW programme.
Am I just remembering things back to front or did I just prefer iTV because of Timmy Mallett and the Transformers?
They needed Ron Burgundy.
Five years later, Frank Bough's career would be in ruins due to certain ladies who like to be called mistress and a white powder. He tried to make start again on ITV, making a big comeback on the rugger world cup in 1991, but again his extra curricular activities caught him out and it was curtains forever for Frank.
The BBC's first day was far more interesting than TV-am's letting David Frost prattle on to Norman Tebbitt for 20 minutes. No wonder if nearly went bankrupt.
Frost was always full of his own self importance
Selina Scott disses the idea 🤭🤭
sadly nearly evryone on this show is now dead
yep
Not a morning person then
Didn't Guy Michelmore write this jingle?
No, he wrote Newsroom South East theme from 1989 I think.
