BBC Breakfast viewers were frustrated this morning as they watched presenters Roger Johnson and Rachel Burden host the programme.
The presenters were on the daytime TV show today (Saturday, July 25) and a number of those watching at home weren’t happy with their presenting styles.
Some viewers branded the episode “excruciating” to watch, while others claimed the hosts couldn’t “strike a sentence together” as they interviewed the guests.
What did viewers say about the BBC Breakfast presenters?
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “@BBCBreakfast, definitely the reserve team presenting this morning. Excruciating interview technique #bbc #BBCBreakfast #news #breakfast.”
Another demanded: “Where do the BBC get these breakfast presenters from? They can’t strike a sentence together. #bbcbreakfast.”

Someone else replied, using all caps: “THE NEW GORMLESS.
A fourth wrote: “Backups for the reserves for the Sunday stand-ins presenting this morning #bbcbreakfast.”
ED! contacted the BBC for comment.

However, not everyone felt that way, as one viewer tweeted to say they thought today’s episode made for “easy watching”.
Backups for the reserves.
They wrote: “Easy watching #BBCBreakfast this morning. No attention-junkie autocue readers on the sofa.”
