EPISODE 14a: The Big Breakfast (Patreon exclusive)
EPISODE 14a: The Big Breakfast (Patreon exclusive) Our first-ever episode made exclusively for those following us on Patreon (find us here) is now out – and it’s available free. But from October, all of our Patreon-only instalments will only be accessible to those who have joined our Round Window tier. In this ‘minisode’ (we’re still working out what to call them), Samira and Graham follow on from their discussion in episode 14 about The Big Breakfast, investigating what happened to the show, how it affected British television, and we get Samira’s own memories of working for the BBC’s breakfast service in the early 1990s. As an additional thank you for supporting us on Patreon, we’ll be sending out a newsletter on October 7, looking ahead to what’s coming up in our next regular episode, when we’ll be discussing shows from 1971.
