I'll be brutally honest and admit I didn't find Johnny that great on Packed Lunch - he mainly just seemed to be talking over everybody constantly - maybe just a side effect of him mainly being a radio presenter these days so used to doing a lot of talking!

Denise was good but not really a surprise as she is a regular and often covers for Steph anyway

I agree to an extent, though I think it's also because he's out of practice a) presenting for television, and b) presenting with a co-host. It's something he'd quickly ease back into if they ended up doing something regularly.

Part of me wonders if this was done as a backdoor experiment to see how they work together these days - e.g. for a summer run of something. But part of me also thinks there could just be some Big Breakfast fans on the production team who fancied a dose of nostalgia!

If it was done to test the waters, I think they proved there's still some magic there; but I also think it's wrong for 'Packed Lunch'. Yesterday was effectively a completely different show just making use of the same set, so I actually wouldn't be surprised to see C4 try exactly that in a more official capacity if Steph takes a break - i.e. A summer run of a new show hosted by J&D, but using the same bare set, crew and facilities as Packed Lunch. It would certainly be cheaper than bringing back the Brekkie again, and could be easily expanded upon or quietly dropped depending on how it did.
