Do you remember waking up with Frank Bough and Selina Scott? Not literally, of course, but if you lived in the UK during the eighties you probably will have seen them on your TV screens, at least.

I certainly remember watching TV-am on ITV just before I had to go to school, and getting a right rollicking for being late! Yes, breakfast telly had only just begun and was, therefore, a real novelty in the early eighties.

On this page, we have some really fabulous snippets from 1980s Breakfast TV. Before you leave the page, don't forget to play the videos in the playlist and relive those golden days of TV-am and the BBC's Breakfast Time. 

80's British TV Presenter Frank Bough 

This second clip really brings back some fond memories of my early morning breakfasts before rushing off to school - well I didn't exactly rush! Now, home time was a different matter. TV-AM was broadcast between 1st February 1983 and 31st December 1992.

If you had a crush on Selina Scott, then you can relive those moments again by watching the video above! The clip starts off with the last few moments of Ceefax. You may remember that the BBC used to display selected pages before the real TV programmes started.

Well, if they aren't leather then they are definitely rubber! In this clip, Debbie interviews Tim "Biggot" Smith. As I write, Debbie is a presenter on the QVC shopping channel.

You either loved him or hated him! Yes, that blasted Roland Rat used to have a regular slot on breakfast TV just to annoy adults across the UK.
