Viewers of BBC Breakfast have criticized the show for wasting their licence fee with a debate on how to make the perfect cup of tea. Presenters Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were back on the red sofa to discuss the topic, but many viewers were left unimpressed.
Another day, another controversial topic
This morning, Jon asked Sally if she had seen a story in the paper about making the perfect cup of tea. Sally responded enthusiastically, saying it's her favorite thing. Jon then read out an article about a teabag that claims to have "full strength" in a limited amount of time. Sally jokingly added, "And you know the one golden rule, Jon Kay, never squeeze the bag."
Viewers take to social media to voice their dissatisfaction
However, it seems that not everyone was on board with this tea-themed discussion. Viewers flocked to social media to complain, with some arguing that the topic was a trivial waste of their licence fee. One viewer sarcastically commented, "Another slow news day, eh? Can someone please do something reprehensible so these people have something to report on?!" Another viewer questioned why the show couldn't focus on more important issues like pensions at risk and attacks on children by dangerous dogs.
Is BBC Breakfast the right platform for this?
While some viewers didn't mind the light-hearted topic, others felt that shows like BBC Breakfast should focus more on hard-hitting news. One viewer suggested that the news channel should be on 24/7, even if it means the likes of Gary Lineker and Clare Balding have to take a pay cut.
BBC Breakfast is aired every day at 6 am on BBC One.
