British television's first national breakfast television programme, Produced by the BBC it was revolutionary for the time, mixing hard news with light-hearted features. The presenters, typically wore casual clothes instead of formal suits, In 1986 it adopted a more formal news format, losing its cosy traditional sofa and jumpers format. In 1989 the show became known as Breakfast News.
