Sunday Brunch is a British television programme presented by Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer. It is broadcast live on Channel 4 on Sunday mornings and features cookery and interviews with celebrity guests.
The show runs live for three hours, including advertisements, which is 90 minutes longer than Something for the Weekend at the end of its run. It initially was broadcast for two hours including advertisements from 10:00am to 12 midday, but from 19 May 2013 was expanded to three hours from 9:30am to 12:30pm. In 2025 the show was moved to run from 10am to 1pm, starting on 5 January.
Each programme features: Simon Rimmer cooking with Tim Lovejoy except for the episodes where Tim was out for a back operation and Johnny Vegas stood in. It also features the week's guests; highlights from television and film; interviews with guests; drink tasting with an expert, usually Rebecca Seal; a trend round-up segment with an expert; and the 'Sunday Brunch Playlist', which is a selection of music videos chosen by the presenters and guests.
The show was not broadcast on 22 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. Instead in its place, Channel 4 aired episodes of Food Unwrapped, Come Dine with Me and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares USA. Sunday Brunch resumed the following week with the presenters hosting the show from their respective homes via video link. The series eventually returned to the studio on 24 May 2020.
On 29 September 2014, it was announced that Rimmer and Lovejoy would host a new spin-off series from Sunday Brunch. The show began on 13 October 2014 and aired daily at 10am for 40 episodes.
