Whatever has happened to this once dynamic news programme? The presenters look utterly bored to tears and deliver their lines in dull, flat tones; so clearly reading from an autocue - as they so often lose the grammatical sense of the piece.
The only presenter with any sparkle is Louise Minchin who seems all the time to be trying to chivvy her co- presenters into displaying enthusiasm.
One young woman, (short black hair) whose name I cannot pronounce, let alone type, reads her lines in dreary nasal tones as if she just wished she was back in bed! One of the sports presenters seems duty bound to report sporting activities as if they were written by Shakespeare - its football dear - not Hamlet!
Then suddenly, its necessary to turn the volume down - the Geordie lass is being loudly and brashly business-like - about nothing, usually.
They spend more time telling us about what is to come - by the time it comes, I've lost interest.
I live abroad and Breakfast used to be my way of catching up with my home country's news first thing in the morning. I give it a couple of minutes now and then switch to Radio 4.
