BBC Breakfast through the years (1986-2018)
BBC Breakfast will refresh their on air look tomorrow morning (Monday 25th June 2018).
Good luck tomorrow to all my dear colleagues at @BBCBreakfast on the launch of a fab new look that brings freshness and vitality to the programme. Thanks also to @jamesmobbs for seeing it thru and to the BBC North team for technically delivering it. We hope you like it. pic.twitter.com/kOn88Po4YZ

Our friends over at Ident Central have taken a look back at the different incarnations of BBC Breakfast from 1986 to the current day.
Breakfast Time adopted a more formal news format on Monday 10 November 1986. The new look Breakfast Time lost its cosy traditional sofa and jumpers format, and was replaced with a news desk and presenters in suits. pic.twitter.com/A7PwvNWyMg

Breakfast Time became Breakfast News on October 2nd 1989. It was planned to launch on 18 September 1989 but was held back due to technical issues with its new studio. Nicholas Witchell and the late Jill Dando presented the programme. pic.twitter.com/gqhY9YexRa
