BBC Breakfast returned this Sunday (August 18), with presenters Luxmy Gopal and Roger Johnson hosting the latest episode. Despite covering a range of significant global news stories, some viewers couldn’t help but complain about one glaring issue.
The day’s news included updates on the Israel-Gaza conflict, insights into making air travel more accessible, and a chat with Olympic gold medallist Keely Hodgkinson.
Yet, some fans were quick to point out that they had seen some of the content before, airing their frustrations about the episode repeats on social media.
Roger introduced the tech segment, announcing: “Now it’s time for the latest technology news on this week’s edition of Click.”

The show then switched to a pre-recorded part of Click, which this week showcased an innovative new sustainable scooter.
The feature delved into the production process of the scooter and its comparison with other top-tier models. Set to enter production later in the year, the scooter will be priced at €15,000, reports the Express.
While the tech segment might have been a hit with gadget enthusiasts, others were irked to see the scooter featured again. Disgruntled viewers aired their frustration on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.
One viewer expressed their annoyance accompanied by crying and dizzy-faced emojis, writing: “Oy…….nooo not click again it was on yesterday #bbcbreakfast.” (sic)
Another disgruntled fan tweeted: “#bbcbreakfast Third time I’ve seen this episode of #click in two days… Can I get a refund on my TV licence?” (sic)
While another chipped in with their disappointment, saying: “Three times …..that’s terrible.” (sic)
A further viewer chimed in, half-jokingly complaining about the repetitive nature of the programming: “I bet it’s not the full version either,” but also confessed with a humourous touch: “I like watching Click but can do without the repeats.” (sic)

Adding to the morning’s drama was a segment introduced by Luxmy, who warned viewers: “Sorry if you’re a bit squeamish about this because this one might make you squirm.”
The segment was addressing a disturbing rat infestation in South Tyneside. The rodent problem was highlighted by the testimony of locals, capturing an 18-inch-long rat among their many encounters, pointing fingers at escalating trash issues.
Luxmy, not immune to the critters’ unexpected charm, later expressed: “Well sorry again if you’re squeamish of rats, or have rat phobia, but it was, don’t judge me, I thought it was quite cute the way that one of them came out to sneak a chip.”
BBC Breakfast airs from 6am on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
