The programme is distinctive for broadcasting live from a real house (which had been lock-keepers' cottages), commonly referred to as "The Big Breakfast House", or more just, "The House", located on Fish Island, in Bow in east London.[i] The original firm on Fish Island in Bow has since been sold.
The prove is a mix of news, atmospheric condition, interviews, audience phone-ins and full general features, with a lite tone which was in competition with the maturer GMTV and BBC Breakfast programmes.[2] [iii]
History [edit]
The Large Breakfast was launched on 28th September 1992 to supercede The Channel Four Daily, which was Aqueduct four'due south unsuccessful first foray into the breakfast television marketplace. The Daily, launched at huge expense, had focussed on current diplomacy and news bulletins alongside bitesized magazine shows and cerebral quiz shows. This format had failed to attract enough viewers, so Channel four opted to alter direction and work towards a lighter mode concentrating mainly on entertainment and humour.[4]
The first two presenters were Chris Evans (from 1992 to 1994) and Gaby Roslin (1992 to 1996). At its summit in 1993, viewing figures reached around two million per edition, and information technology was the highest rated Uk breakfast television plan. Along with Evans and Roslin, Bob Geldof presented a brusk-lived political interview slot. His wife Paula Yates interviewed people whilst lying on a bed, and the puppet characters Zig and Zag created morning mayhem in the bath with Evans in a slot called 'The Crunch'.
Equally part of his contract with The Big Breakfast, Evans was committed to developing a new show for Channel 4. Don't Forget Your Toothbrush began in early 1994, and Evans cutting his involvement with The Big Breakfast to three days a calendar week, Tuesday to Thursday. Former Neighbours actor Mark Fiddling replaced Evans on Mondays and Fridays. When Evans left the show after that twelvemonth, Lilliputian connected Thursdays, and Fridays while Paul Ross took over Mondays to Wednesdays. Richard Orford replaced Ross around Easter 1995 but was speedily dropped and exchanged with Downwardly Your Doorstep presenter Keith Chegwin. In July 1995, the show reverted to using only i male presenter (Mark Niggling) throughout the calendar week. Chegwin would cover for Little when he was on tour equally a comedian or on holiday.
Roslin continued full-fourth dimension until she made way for Zoe Ball in 1996. Audition figures dropped a little after Evans left, and a piddling further afterward Roslin departed. Marking Little left the programme in July 1996, following press reports that he and Ball had fallen out. Little was replaced past Keith Chegwin, who himself exited the program in Baronial 1996, just ahead of a relaunch. To stem the sliding viewing figures, the Large Breakfast house was refurbished at a cost of £2 million. New presenters Rick Adams and Sharron Davies were brought in but viewing figures cruel dramatically. Davies left the programme in early 1997, to exist replaced by Denise van Outen. Van Outen had initially been brought in as role of the September 1996 relaunch as a weather condition presenter, before being given a function based at the house equally the telephone room presenter and holiday relief for Davies. In June 1997, Johnny Vaughan covered for Adams for a fortnight alongside Van Outen, the pair forging a successful on-screen partnership. Adams left the programme shortly afterwards and, in September 1997, the Vaughan and Van Outen partnership was made permanent. Audience figures stabilised and the duo fronted the programme together until Van Outen'due south departure on 1 Jan 1999. (A New year's day pre-record). Kelly Beck was installed as Vaughan's new co-presenter despite an cyberspace campaign for the role to be awarded to Liza Tarbuck, who had successfully covered for Van Outen in the summertime of 1998. However, Brook struggled in the role and left the programme in early summertime 1999. Liza Tarbuck, having once again covered the co-presenter role aslope Vaughan prior to Brook'southward divergence, was made permanent at the end of August 1999. She left the following summer and, following Vaughan's almanac one-month summer suspension, Denise van Outen returned to co-host in September 2000 for Vaughan'due south last four months on the programme. Vaughan and Van Outen's final Big Breakfast was on 12 January 2001.
Demise [edit]
The program relaunched with a new logo and updated theme on Monday 22 Jan 2001. The house had likewise been redecorated in more muted colours, echoing the sick-fated 1996 revamp. The programme moved to a line up of three main presenters, Paul Tonkinson, Amanda Byram and Donna Air. Nevertheless, Tonkinson was dropped from the programme at the end of March 2001 and Air left not long after. Richard Bacon and Amanda Byram remained as main presenters, the plan having reverted to two main presenters once more. The living room, which had been repainted a dark red as part of the revamp, was changed to a vivid xanthous and pink blueprint, while the chief presenter chairs were besides reinstalled in forepart of the living room'south French windows. They replaced the vivid green sofa which had likewise been brought in as function of the revamp. The new logo was replaced with one more than closely resembling the traditional Large Breakfast logo, albeit utilising a slightly different font. Mike McClean was given a role on the program, as Downward Your Doorstep presenter and comprehend for Bacon, most regularly on Fridays when Bacon would reprise his former Down Your Doorstep role alongside Johnny Vegas.
In Dec 2001 information technology was announced that The Big Breakfast was to be axed the following March.

The concluding Big Breakfast aired on 29 March 2002 and included a retrospective that included contributions from Evans, Roslin, Vaughan and van Outen. Both Evans and Vaughan alleged the cancelling of the testify a bad idea. The show concluded with a tribute from the Prince of Wales before the concluding ever Friday vocal.
When the show finished, the firm reverted to a individual residence, now known as The Cottage.[5] Later on renovation following a fire, it has also been used for a few television shows, including the 1-off special edition of The Big Breakfast which aired in 2021.
Innovations [edit]
Mark Lamarr, Keith Chegwin, Paul Ross, Richard Orford, Richard Bacon and Mike McClean were "down your doorstep" exterior broadcasters, oftentimes turning up live and unannounced at an unsuspecting viewer'south house, while rooms within the Lock Keeper'southward Houses featured the puppets Zig and Zag and video games guru Ben the Boffin.
The show's style, with hand-held cameras moving effectually all of the set, meant that many of the crew members could be seen on screen. This led to them getting nicknames, such equally 'Sturdy Girl', who was regularly asked to milkshake her caput and then that her hair would be hurled effectually whilst music played and the camera zoomed in and out. 'The Carpet Monster' was revealed in the Medico Who Special to have been an extra, playing a deadly clown, in the Seventh Doctor story The Greatest Show in the Galaxy.

Lock Keepers' Cottages [edit]
Unusually for a live British Television set show at the time of its creation, The Big Breakfast was broadcast entirely from a real house. Located alongside the River Lea, in eastward London, the property became informally known every bit 'The Big Breakfast Business firm'. Filming would oft take identify inside the large grounds of the property and the closely surrounding expanse. The cottages are in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Built in 1947, the belongings originally comprised three cottages which housed the lock keepers, cost takers, and navigation operators of the Former Ford Locks in Bow. Past the time of purchase by the programme-makers, Planet24, in 1992, the property had become Course Two listed and had remained unused for around 20 years. Extensive renovation work saw the transformation of the three cottages into one large iii-bedroom holding, specifically fitted for utilise as a Tv set studio. The outside graphic symbol of the property was largely unchanged. During the first four years of the testify, the given accost for the house was number 2, Lock Keepers' Cottages, Old Ford Lock, London E3 2NN. The '2' was later dropped.
In 1996, due to the declining popularity of The Big Breakfast, the business firm was transformed in an fine art deco-style makeover. The original brickwork was well-nigh entirely covered over with a polish rendered terminate, painted white. 2 large balconies at present adorned the front and rear. The only untouched exterior features recognisable from the show's original styling were the iv brick chimneys and the roof. The legality of this all-encompassing makeover could be questioned as having cleaved the rules of its Form II listed status. The work carried out is purported to have cost around £2million, largely funded by its sale to the show's broadcaster, Channel Four Telly.
Structurally, the firm largely remained in this style for the residue of the serial. The simply notable structural alterations were the removal of the front balcony, the partial removal of the balcony to the rear and pocket-size alterations to the styling of the doors and windows.
However, the character of the house was altered through several artistic makeovers to both the interior and exterior. The outside was painted bright xanthous, after a light brown like in shade to the original brickwork, followed by a false red brickwork effect which was painted onto the return. The latter fashion became the last expect of the firm, during the evidence's final three-and-a-one-half years.
Cottages since The Large Breakfast [edit]
In November 2002, 7-and-a-half months after The Big Breakfast was axed, a burn destroyed a significant proportion of the kickoff floor of the cottages. A large part of the roof was also destroyed in the bonfire. The fire was suspicious as there was no gas or electrical supply to the building.
Since the fire, extensive work has taken place to restore the house and it is now used as a family unit dwelling. The house was bought for piddling more than half the original request cost of £i million at £550,000. The house was slashed in value considering of the fire of November 2002.
The house has now been fully renovated, just some of the well-recognised aspects of the firm from its use during the run of The Big Breakfast remain.
The newly renovated house features in the BBC Two show Neneh and Andi Dish It Upwards, BBC Iii's Singing With the Enemy, Too Fat To Toddle on ITV1, and the one-off revival of The Big Breakfast on Channel four.
The cottages are located about 200 metres from the site of the main stadium used in the 2012 Olympic Games. In 2005, the cottages became function of a compulsory buy order for the Games,[12] giving rise to speculation that the building may be demolished. However, the cottages and gardens remain unchanged.
The house made a cameo appearance in a Aqueduct 4 ident shown in the pb-up to the aqueduct's coverage of the Paralympics in August 2012.
Life After Lock Keepers Cottages [edit]
The Large Breakfast'south render on thirteen Baronial has been confirmed to be from a new house, leaving the well known mock painted bricked façade of Lock Keepers Cottages behind for the beginning time in the iconic shows history. It is non yet known where the new house is to exist located.
