Daily Brunch is, as the name would suggest, the spin-off to Sunday Brunch, the 3hr+ show which airs on a Sunday, conveniently, is presented by Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer, and runs from 9.30am to some time the following year. Or maybe it just feels like that.
No, I do enjoy it, but 3 hours is enough for anyone.
Daily Brunch will runs for 60 minutes, and the pair will feature alongside more guests and have more recipies (as if Simon hasn’t trotted out his Bootleg Burgers enough already), and it’s sponsored by Ocado, a shop I’ve never been to and have no intention of doing so, but that confirms who’s providing the funding for it.
I presume these will all be pre-recorded, as Simon spends his week running his restaurant in Didsbury.
But as I alighted to, do we need any more Brunch?
Even the Saturday Grand National specials were trying to fill time. Who can forget this year’s edition, with Simon at Aintree commenting on a tractor going past, stopping to marvel at the event and saying, “Just look at that.” We looked. We didn’t care.
Please, just stick to the Sunday format. It works.
And while Rebecca is off, please make her drinkypoos stand-in be Sarah Warman. She was well fit.
Daily Brunch starts October 13th at 10am on Channel 4. And if somehow it is live, it will have to be filmed in a different studio, given that the same one is used for The Wright Stuff, which airs on weekdays from 9.15am for two hours. But, realistically, it’ll be pre-recorded.
