BBC Breakfast and Saturday Kitchen air early for Lord Mayor's Show

BBC Breakfast and Saturday Kitchen aired earlier than usual today due to the Lord Mayor's Show 2026, with both programmes shifting their schedules on Saturday, November 14. BBC Breakfast concluded at 9.15am instead of its usual 10am end time, with Saturday Kitchen starting immediately after at 9.15am until 10.45am. The Lord Mayor's Show 2026 then followed from 10.45am to 12.05pm, and both programmes are expected to return to their standard slots next weekend. Host Matt Tebbutt announced the change during last week's episode, telling viewers he would be back live at the earlier time. This comes as the BBC has put Saturday Kitchen out to tender, alongside Mastermind, as part of broader cost-saving measures across its programming.
