BBC Breakfast - Specials

Specials

In 2003, the Breakfast production team was commissioned by BBC One to make a week long series called The Day Team From Chatsworth presented by Nicki Chapman, and presenter of the BBC's Countryfile programme, John Craven. It took a behind the scenes look at the stately home Chatsworth House and was broadcast separately on BBC One at 1030 in the morning.

A number of other guests, or celebrity presenters have been used on Breakfast to present themed days or weeks, even though some have never been mainstream news reporters or presenters. Many of these have seen the programme extended to 0930:

  • Alistair Appleton - Tate Modern 2004, Bath, Somerset 2003
  • Chris Beardshaw - Chelsea Flower Show 2006
  • Jennie Bond - Buckingham Palace 2004
  • Nicki Chapman - Children in Need November 2005, London Fashion Week 2004, Chelsea Flower Show 2006
  • Philippa Forrester - Alder Hey Children's Hospital 2002
  • Andi Peters - Neighbours set 2005, EastEnders/Albert Square outside broadcast 2006
