BBC Breakfast fans rip into ‘unwatchable’ interviews – fuming ‘the standard has plummeted!’
BBC BREAKFAST News viewers were seriously divided after Wednesday’s episode and took to social media with a range of complaints.
Jon Kay and Victoria Valentine hosted the latest BBC flagship morning news show, but some fans were left unhappy and unimpressed by the “unfit” duo.
After the episode aired, viewers quickly took to Twitter to express how they felt about the episode.
One user raged: “@BBCBreakfast, this Victoria person is even more unwatchable than Jon Kay. When I think how far the standard has plummeted from Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.”
A second person said: “It makes me incredibly sad. Do better. These are not serious people fit to present your flagship show.”
Another person fumed: “#BBCBreakfast Unwatchable with these two presenters. Absolute f*****g bobbins.”
A third person asked: “@BBCBreakfast slow news day? Why is BBC Breakfast doing a whole feature on Christmas stuff? What a turn-off!!”
A fourth person penned: “There’s so much rubbish on #BBCBreakfast. Where’s the news? #bbcnews.”
Other show viewers were happy to see the host’s return to their screens as one tweeted: ” #BBCBreakfast lovely to see Victoria on again! More, please!”
A second user added: “#BBCBreakfast, can we have the wonderful Victoria Valentine every day please?”
A third user praised: “BBC Breakfast. What a breath of fresh air is Victoria on with Jon this morning instead of wooden Sally Nugent, who reads from notes all the time, which distracts from what she is saying.”
During the episode, the hosts interviewed magician and mentalist Derren Brown, who discussed his recent tour and played a clip of him hypnotising a member of the audience from one of his shows.
As he sat down to talk to Victoria and Jon, Victoria confessed: “When you sat down on the sofa and shook your hand, I got a bit freaked out.
She continued: “Am I going to remember my name? Are you going to play tricks on me? Do you get that when people meet you? Are they frightened?”
Darren chuckled and replied: “I think so, but it is so odd that I am not like that at all in real life.”
The illusionist claimed that he was ‘shy’ in real life as the interview progressed, but Victoria thought otherwise.
The two presenters also debated about towns that have been mispronounced, carpet recycling, and shops with Christmas items on display in August.
BBC weather correspondent Carol Kirkwood discussed the upcoming Super Blue Moon, the biggest and brightest moon of the year.
The magical phenomenon will be seen from all four corners of the earth on Wednesday and Thursday night.
While sitting on the big red sofa, Jon enquired: “It might be quite good tonight for the blue super moon.”
Carol smiled back and replied: “The further east that you are, we’ve got clear skies, so there is a good chance of seeing it.”
BBC Breakfast airs daily on BBC One from 6 am and 9.15am
