BBC1's Breakfast programme is cooking up a storm at its new home in Salford. Staff working overnight on the programme are able to order hot food from the swish new canteen at BBC North at MediaCity: UK. But it is a perk that appears not to be available to hacks working the graveyard shift in other BBC departments at the new north-west base, such as BBC Radio 5 Live. Order forms state "Overnight catering for Breakfast TV staff", leaving their less fortunate colleagues going hungry – or staring at a cold cheese and pickle sandwich. Sounds like time for a spin-off from MasterChef. KnackeredChef?
