  • Diverse on Screen Talent Directory
    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society.

  • EPILOGUE “There Was a Lot of Heresy About”
    MG-EPILOGUE.qxd 19/04/2004 07:32 Page 1 EPILOGUE “There was a lot of heresy about” My attempt at telling the story of British breakfast television initially took the shape of a series of monthly articles published on www.offthetelly.co.uk in late 2000 and early 2001. Titled Morning Glory, the text spanned the period from the launch of Breakfast Time in January 1983 to The Big Breakfast’s fateful makeover in January 2001, ending with some idle speculation on just how much longer Channel 4 could feasibly carry on funding such a relentlessly calamitous early morning programme. Typically, within a few weeks of the final article appearing on-line, C4 confirmed it was wielding the axe and the search was on for The Big Breakfast’s replacement. There seemed no reason not to continue hoarding useful bits of breakfast telly news, gossip and quotes, especially as the possibility of pitching an expanded version of the original articles to assorted publishers had gained in appeal. One of the things that the on-line version of Morning Glory did not possess was primary source material; a longer, more comprehensive take on the history of breakfast television would necessarily require the assembly and presentation of just such a valuable commodity. There were already various events and revelations that research had turned up too late to go into the Off The Telly articles. Then there was the prospect of a looming anniversary: 2003 would be the 20th birthday of breakfast TV, and a neat hook on which to hang the premise of a full-length book.
