Behind the scenes on tomorrow morning’s BBC Breakfast show

My challenge is to let you into the making of the BBC’s Breakfast, a programme that broadcasts for more than three hours on BBC One, 365 days a year.

Between now and the show tomorrow morning, I’ll be tweeting, using #bbcbreakfast, to open up the editorial process and the decisions behind the making of the programme, both in the planning and as it happens.

I’ll talk about what goes right and what doesn’t quite, without obviously giving away too many trade secrets! I’ll take you behind the scenes in the making of Britain’s most popular breakfast programme.

A little background: as deputy editor on the programme, I oversee two of the midweek shows a week. There are two of us deputy editors along with the editor, Adam Bullimore, who has been with the team for more than a decade.

Each edition of the programme is effectively a 36-hour hamster wheel. You hop on to it the day before the show to oversee the planning, from 10 in the morning to 11 at night, before getting up while the owls are hooting to come in for about 4.50am and prepare for transmission.

Mine is a role described by the Breakfast team - and our counterparts at Today on BBC Radio 4 - as the 'early interfere'. The purpose is to be just that. An assistant editor leads the hands-on planning and production through the previous day and night. But the early interfere hovers above everything.

We must know the wider national and international news agenda, what other media are doing, and the current state of our developing programme. And, well, interfere.

We suggest guests, stories, treatments, encourage the great ideas of others and, crucially, occasionally stop things which don’t feel right. I was once told that the most important role of an editor is what you take out, not what you put in.

I’ll be tweeting about it all in the coming hours.

Tomorrow morning, seven million people will watch Breakfast across the course of three hours. Producing the programme the nation expects is a demanding, tiring and exciting challenge.

So what will be in the show tomorrow? Follow me with #bbcbreakfast as we decide.
