The programme is not just what you hear - this blog shows you what else happens. Sometimes a look behind the scenes, sometimes some office or programme gossip, often a glimpse of what goes on when the programme leaves the studio.

We are the Breakfast bloggers and we've each chosen our favourite Breakfast item as a symbol to accompany our posts.

Richard Jackson - Doesn't spend all his life in meetings. Some of it is spent going to and from meetings.

Chris Hunter - tends the shop of a weekend, when he can be found fretting over the fate of Middlesbrough Football Club or the England cricket team, depending on the time of year. Occasionally sees his family, which is probably down to an oversight on someone's behalf.

Gill Edmonds - masterminds many of the Breakfast OBs. Sometimes reads the news at weekends. Nicky rates her singing (quite an accolade).

Olie D'Albertanson - Was once at Southampton FC's Centre of Excellence. Thwarted by injury (knee and hip). Now an excellent guitarist in a band - "imagine Indie meeting Ennio Morricone".

Purvee Pattni - Can't run very fast, but is pretty quick on her bike. Biggest hates are washing dishes and ironing. Would love to meet Beck.

Breakfast bloggers past

Nikki Brown - Spends too much time getting wet on a bike, on a tennis court, in a swimming pool or by the side of a football pitch. Always pining for warm weather.

David Lennon - Rules the roost over Breakfast at the weekend. Supports Coventry City. Often needs cheering up (by the way that's a picture of a bacon sandwich).

Ellie Reuter - Learned to type one-handed after a short-lived and accident-prone attempt at learning to snowboard. Never grumbles.

Harriet Oliver - A big fan of Holby City, a devotee of thrash metal, fluent in Japanese and once spent £100 to have a hamster put down. Only two of these facts are true.

Andy Hall - Imagine Shaggy from Scooby Doo meets Patrick Kielty. Yep, weird isn't it. If we have a problem, if no one else can help and if we can find him, then we give him a call.
