Any child of the nineties will remember not wanting to go to school. Not because the education system was as messed up as Chloe Sims? face, or because of the taunts of ?the three stripe-clad knuckle-draggers who marked themselves as the school’s social elite.
It was because they wanted nothing more than to watch The Big Breakfast.
The alternative breakfast show has been hosted by pretty much everyone on television, but really came into its own with Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen at the helm. It was brash, bright and loud: just what a child wants instead of stupid Maths and History. Tell the truth, where has Maths or History ever got you that knowing how to sing the ?Vital Statistics? song hasn't? Nowhere, that's where.
Well Children of the 90s rejoice and unite, because rumours flying around the internet and now your brain, is that the Big Breakfast is coming back to our screens to coincide with the Olympics this year. Probably to cheer everyone up before having to endure packed Tubes and buses for two whole, solid weeks. And that's just the ceremony itself!
Although nothing is set in stone, and the whole project looks unlikely given that Chris Evans and Johnny Vaughan have their own careers on radio and the like, but isn't the thought of it just absolutely ball tingling ?
The site of the Big Breakfast House was compulsory purchased to go with the 2012 Summer Olympics plan put forward by the government, so it's looking likely that the site will be used for something to do with the Olympics, and it may just be a case of wishful thinking. For all we know, it could be the place where all the chemical toilets are emptied.
However, any reason to have Liza Tarbuck back on our screens is fine with us, so come on Hecklersprayers! Let's start some sort of grass roots campaign to get the Big Breakfast back on our TV. It's when Johnny Vaughan was super-hot.
That might just be us.
