BBC Breakfast viewers bemoan 'slow' news day as the programme presents coverage from a 'boring' pub

As a seasoned broadcaster with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen it all – from technical glitches to unexpected kisses on live television. However, the stunt pulled by Tim during Carol Kirkwood’s weather report took me by surprise.

Viewers of BBC Breakfast expressed disappointment over what they considered a rather uneventful news day, as the program featured stories from an apparently uninteresting pub.

On Saturday, the show featured hosts Naga Munchetty and Roger Johnson moving to reporter Oli Constable for a piece on a local pub within the community.

At dawn, an object spotted Oliver at The Ickleford Lion, a place located in Saffron Walden. He mentioned that this establishment was spared from shutting down due to the combined efforts of local residents and international shareholders who pooled together £440,000 for its preservation.

Later on, Oli stepped inside and spoke with several regular customers who had arrived at the pub around 7 am for a discussion about its upcoming plans.

Although people found joy in the story, they still expressed their disagreement with the segment by taking to social media to voice their opinions.

One person thought the news item was more suited to ITV’s This Morning as they observed that news over the festive period tends to be ‘slow’.

They shared: ‘I know it’s the Christmas holiday, and news is generally a bit slow, but a “saving a pub” is more suited to #ThisMorning than #BBCBreakfast’

Instead of criticizing, the other individual pointed out that it didn’t seem like a pub and they had come there merely to appear on television, receiving a complimentary cup of coffee.

Meanwhile, a distant observer showed little enthusiasm for the spectacle, commenting, “It’s England’s most uneventful tavern.

After the live broadcast of BBC Breakfast, Carol Kirkwood found herself turning red when she was unexpectedly pulled in for a kiss on Monday.

62-year-old presenter was utterly astonished by an unexpected gesture during her live show, admitting that she had not anticipated it in the least.

In London, while Carol was delivering the weather forecast, an individual who looked like a bystander unexpectedly joined the broadcast, wearing a winter coat and Santa hat. He then leaned in for an unanticipated kiss with Carol.

The journalist was explaining to Jon Kay and Sally Nugent, who were broadcasting from the studio, that the sight in Covent Garden was stunning with artificial snowflakes all around her.

Carol said: ‘It’s really falling now… It’s fabulous.’

Sally quipped, “How on earth did you pull that off? I’ve always suspected you had extraordinary abilities, but this takes things to a whole new dimension.

Afterwards, Carol, donning mistletoe for her holiday-themed presentation, confessed that the mistletoe hadn’t performed any miracles yet, stating: “The mistletoe hasn’t played any pranks this morning.

Suddenly a man appeared and pulled Carol in for a surprise hug, before planting a kiss on her.

And Carol had seemingly not been prepared for the on-air smooch as she gasped: ‘Oh, I say… Tim.’

Sally and Jon chuckled while observing the unexpected event, but Carol reassured viewers that all was well; the individual causing the disturbance wasn’t an unknown person, but rather a coworker of hers.

She informed Sally and Jon: ‘That’s Tim, our science engineer. He’s a friend of mine. His presence here took me by surprise!’

Jon teased the star and noted that she was blushing while Sally cheekily said: ‘No she’s not. Although, I’m sure they’re really good friends now!’.
