By
1996 the house was starting to look stale. The sets had had a few
minor redressings - new background props etc a few licks of paint
but no major overhauls. In September 1996 the annual tradition
of the 'September re-launch' started when the house received a
complete makeover. gone was the bright clashing primary colours and
breakfasty items. Gone were the external bricks and standard
windows. The house received a complete multi-million pound
makeover in a 1920s art deco style.
Externally two balconies
were added. One at the front, one at the rear. The old front
doors were bricked in and a two large french windows added to the
front of the house. The windows were tinted black and a swimming
pool added to the back garden. A large wall was also added at the
back with 'The Big Breakfast' logo painted pink on it.
