Andy Peebles takes stock: After six weeks of presenting Radio 1's Breakfast Show, I can honestly say that I never felt fitter - always presuming that I was once fit anyway! Although the Breakfast Show involves a radical change of lifestyle, to present the programme at this time of year is a pleasurable experience. My alarm call, which goes off at 4 o'clock, gives me two hours to get from my home in North London to the studio, get myself organised and arrive 'on air' at 6.00 am. Broadcasting House is a somewhat strange place at this time of the morning as apart from the friendly BBC commissionaire, who presents me with my copies of the daily papers, and the engineer who works on the programme with me, I am not likely to see anybody. Seeing the sun come up (if it does!) is followed by the strange experience of watching Broadcasting House come to life in front of one's very eyes.'
