Noel Edmonds cancelled the show after the progressively more dangerous "Whirlywheel" challenges (that had already resulted in one contestant damaging his back in a car stunt the year before) led to a viewer, Michael Lush, dying when a bungee jump stunt went wrong and the bungee snapped in Autumn 1986.
On November 8th 1986, The cancellation of "The Late Late Breakfast" was announced by the BBC announcer on BBC 1, after the broadcast of "Doctor Who" "The Trial of a Time Lord: Part 10". "This is BBC 1. Because of the tragic accident of Michael Lush whilst preparing for tonight's edition of "The Late Late Breakfast Show", The BBC has decided to cancel this and further editions of the program." The program and the following scheduled program "Every Second Counts" was replaced by the 1975 film "One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing".
