Previously Angie was being used as the fill in newsreader, she is now on maternity leave, as is Edwina.

Eddy returns from maternity leave on Monday.

Did you not read the bit saying I thought it would return to normal with eddy back

[mirb]

@Andrew

I think that will return to normal with Eddy back.

Yes, I did read that.

But was there any reference to Monday?

[TV.Cynic]

The Project had a laugh at James Tobin on Sunrise forgetting social distancing rules during a weather cross. They showed a segment before the weather map then one after

Before and after

There is in this thread… I didn’t feel it was necessary to repeat what had already been said.

Obviously you did.

Monday and Tuesday:Eddy is back and reading the news and entertainment.

Will be great to have Eddy back, but unfortunately that means the end of Nelson’s regular appearances. It’s a shame they’ve never really found a way of incorporating them both

Eddy crossing to Nelson for Showbiz now, like Fifi Box and Nuala Hafner used to do:

I understand that they need to set an example and follow guidelines because the threat of corona virus is still somewhat out there. But is it really necessary for social distancing on set of the presenters now?

It’s just getting quite disjointed and ruining the whole feel of the show. IMO it’s served its purposes, time to go back everyone at the desk.

[MelbTV]

They still need to set an example, especially when the Federal Government is still saying that we must social distance.

Yes and I clearly mentioned that above, the only ones that appear to be doing it still is Sunrise and TMS, everyone else seems to be getting closer and closer… Plus I don’t think anyone would really care if they aren’t social distancing on set anyway unless you want to be complete pedantic.

Studio 10 is still doing it. 2 People at desk, 2 on couch.

[TV.Cynic]

Plus on The Project and HYBPA? it is also really obvious.

[TV-QLD]

I think it’s time to bring them back to normal. Restrictions are easing and presenters spend hours each day together regardless.

[TV.Cynic]

The networks need to take all reasonable steps to protect their workforce from being exposed to COVID-19. Providing a studio set-up where the talent can be 1.5 metres apart seems quite reasonable. Anything less than this would open the employer up to being prosecuted by the relevant state authorities especially if someone was found to have contracted the infection through exposure in the workplace. It just seems like common sense to maintain social distancing and minimise studio guests and audiences.

Mark Beretta, who I like heaps, had his go back in 2000 and it wasn’t successful unfortunately.

That was 20 years ago.

Plus they could always go for someone more likeable on their current team who has great chemistry with Natalie Barr. Matt Doran is good but would be better on news.

I bet they’re only 1.5m apart ON camera lol

James Tobin is presenting weather this morning (2/6/2020). Sam Mac is off sick.

[MelbTV]

The team will be broadcasting live from the Big Brother house next Monday apparently and will also have a sleep over as well

[Nathan_Kiamco]

This… is… Big Brother.
Big Brother Week on Sunrise starts on Monday

[TV.Cynic]

Big Brother takes over Sunrise

Australia’s favourite brekky show is LIVE from the Big Brother house

The Sunrise team is packing their bags and heading into the Big Brother house.

Cut-off from the outside world, cameras recording their every move, Kochie, Sam , Nat , Beretts , Eddy and Sam Mac will face a bigger Big Brother than ever before in a sleepover sneak peek of the year’s biggest show.

Wake up with Sunrise from 5.30am Monday, LIVE from the house for a special extended edition to mark the beginning of Big Brother Week on Australia’s #1 breakfast programme.

“ Sunrise will have exclusive access to the all-new house just hours ahead of the highly-anticipated launch of Big Brother 2020 on Seven,” said Sunrise Executive Producer, Michael Pell.

The Sunrise hosts will be pushed to their limits when they face-off in their own epic Nomination Challenge set by Big Brother. Plus, viewers will meet new Housemates in their first ever television interviews as well as hear from some former show favourites. And Big Brother Host Sonia Kruger will be LIVE from the house with her final insights ahead of the premiere.

Join Sunrise LIVE from the Big Brother house from 5.30am Monday for Big Brother Week on 7 and 7plus

Then settle in for the premiere of Big Brother 7.30pm Monday on 7 and 7plus

“Being watched 24 hours a day is my worst nightmare. But I’m up for whatever epic challenge Big Brother has in store!”

Samantha Armytage

“When you host breakfast TV it’s important the team gets on well given the early starts… But spending time together in the Big Brother house? I don’t know about that. It’s certainly going to be interesting to say the least!”

David Koch

How will they do the show?

Will it be just an OB with gimmicky skits in-between stories?
