"The Big Breakfast" was a live magazine show, which aired on Channel 4. Since it's first show, it provided many of today's TV's stars with their big break; Chris Evans, Gaby Roslyn, and Johnny Vaughan all found greater fame since hosting the show. The show's greatest novelty was it's setting; a former terrace of 3 cottages in East London, once lived in by the lock keepers of the Old Ford Lock on the Lees Navigation Canal. The show was presented from the living room, with interviews by the fireplace, round the kitchen table, and on the bed in the boudoire. They even presented from a shed at the bottom of the garden. The show was set apart from others by it's wacky and colourful presentation, and was nominated for, and even won, along with it's presenters, several awards. The show was then axed by Channel 4 at the height of its popularity with the fans.

If I dare say it, I didn't actually find Jenny McCarthy to be at all good on The Big Breakfast. She was hailed as the greatest thing to ever happen to the show, but I just found her loud, incoherent and annoying.

On Friday 12 January 2001, exactly five years to the day since Gaby Roslin had exited both Johnny Vaughan and Denise van Outen's hosted their final episode of The Big Breakfast. This episode starts with a parade commentated by Christopher Biggins of all Johnny and Denise's favourite guests. Numerous celebrities are in the house this morning.

Biggins picks a winner from the tombola for an audience member to take a trip to the island in Fiji used in the film Castaway. Johnny presents his final round of 'Gaggin' For It'. Finally Johnny and Denise give their thanks to cast and crew, and a tribute to the pair is played before ending in a garden sing-a-long.
