The Big Arvo


The Big Arvo, originally titled The Big Breakfast, was an Australian television program that was broadcast on the Seven Network from 1999 until 2005.

History

The program began in a morning time slot under the title The Big Breakfast, before moving to the afternoon as The Big Arvo, to make way for AMV: All Music Video and Sunrise. The program was presented by four hosts, who hosted the show in a large model bus. The program included segments such as "cool job" and "dare" to amuse younger viewers and to teach viewers who had outgrown Play School. It appeared in K-Zone magazine to celebrate 500 episodes.
