We're 10 episodes into The '90s Rewind now but there's plenty more to come! The Big Breakfast was such an iconic part of 90s TV that it had to be included in this series. What are your memories of this show? Let me know in the comments below. I have something very very special coming next on the channel so please stay tuned!

I miss the batshit early 90's.

The Big Breakfast is one of those rare beasts that successfully caught lightning in a bottle twice- first with Chris and Gaby and again with Johnny and Denise. The reboot really didn't get the chance it deserved.

Denise van Outen. Definitely a reason to get up in the mornings.

92-99 was a helluva party

It was all over the place, and that's why it was brilliant!

BB was the backdrop to my entire school years. Every single morning. It’s hard not to have a deep nostalgia for that. Great days.

Watched that every school morning from 7-8am for years!

I was very much unwillingly on the Big Breakfast once. Was a wee lad of around 10 or 11, relaxing before going to school when there's a knock at the door. Mum goes to answer and suddenly there's a TV crew invading the house. Turns out they wanted us to bring things outside for an impromptu garden sale.

All in good fun looking back, but was pretty horrifying in my child mind, and the kids at school that day were relentless about my big TV debut.

Sometimes, when I am on my ramblings, I go past the Big Breakfast house in Stratford (not far from the London Stadium). Every time I go past, I make the sign of the holy cross. Truly, we were blessed to grow up in the 90s.

"the pair I remember most vividly" he says whilst showing footage of an exceedingly low cut Denise Van Outen. 😂

Aw, I miss seeing Mark Lamarr on tv.

I remember they had Rodney Anoai'i, the wrestler Yokozuna from the then WWF on for an interview on the bed which they had to reinforce because he was 500lb

No better way to drive sales of something by saying "Go buy this. Later this week you could win one for free."

I remember watching this from the beginning and so many memories of trying to watch as much as possible before going to school.

Seeing the Banana Splits clip reminded me that I used to love watching a cartoon like Biker Mice From Mars, really getting into it and the next day they played Banana Splits and getting angry at them for it 😅
