The way we were: gallery

The year was 1983 - and the BBC raced to beat TVAM to be the first to launch morning TV in Britain. The line-up included Frank Bough, Selina Scott and a lot of novelty knitwear

Breakfast Time also had its own exercise guru - nicknamed the Green Goddess. Diana Moran has recently returned to Breakfast, for a special series on the Care Maze

New recruits joining Frank Bough in 1986: Sally Magnusson - and, yes Jeremy Paxman

In 1989, the programme re-launched as Breakfast News. Sofas and comfy chairs were ditched, as Nicholas Witchell and Jill Dando led a hard-edged news agenda

A new millennium and a new name: in 2000, we became just Breakfast - and recruited Jeremy Bowen and Sophie Raworth to present the programme

The new Breakfast studio was unkindly described as a Romanian dentist's waiting room.

But, on the plus side, one of the BBC's best loved newsreaders, Moira Stuart, joined the programme

The next Breakfast set was a little like an indoor shopping centre. But the Prime Minister didn't seem to mind

A bit of blue skies thinking for our latest set in May 2006 wasn't universally popular.

And, after a few tweaks (banishing the clouds) this is what Breakfast's studio looks like today - from behind the cameras
