So, I missed the show today, being at work and all - was it a good one today? what was the three of the best? Did the contestants get any of the song lyric questions right?

Well as a live and breathe.. how can you not be a Steve Wright fan. Fair makes my wig go lopsided.

ok I wear a wig however I still think Steve might find a 40 something old male attractive.

Weight is but a number... the 40 srone is the 12 stone... I keep sending him emails to play my golden oldies but to no avail.

"Three of the Best" from Genesis's "Trick of the Tail" album.

Nearly made me dig out my copies of "Nursery Chryme", "Foxtrot" and "Selling England By The Pound".... seems his Radio Oxford show is pretty much the same format as on BFBS (and the old Saturday show). But hey, why change a winning formula? Smile

I emailed him today to thank him for a good Friday Night Is Music Night show, no reply, Gratitude... Or what!! Laughing

Never mind, mark - I'm sure he appreciates the thought.

Cherskiy - the listen again is on the Oxfor page, just go to Listen live / Listen again and scroll down for Richard.

Sometimes they play 2 weeks previously so it's not correctly updated all the time.

However, I'm going to listen to it tonight also.

Well, I didn't get a chance to listen again to this mornins show - I was subjected to 'The Santa Clause 2' movie....actually it wasn't too bad, brought out the kid in me - the kid who wants whiskey, an x-box, new bike, whiskey, scalextrix, an ipod...did I mention the whiskey! Laughing

Wouldn't mind a mountain bike myself, but I'm saving for a Canon EOS-1DS MK.II camera body and a new house, not necessarily in that order. Not sure which one I'll need the mortgage for.... Crying or Very sad

I think I sold my Scalectrix set when I was 15 - Minis and chicanes - recreating "The Italian Job" in my front room! Smile

Andy-THe show delivered by Richard was top draw as it always is.

Contestants still struggling with the quiz though.

Richard should be delivering his excellent Sunday morning show on BBC Radio 2 instead of Steve Wright and his dreadful SLS's show.

AndyAndy2 · Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 2:00 pm Post subject:

Mark, thanks for that, got no help from the above!! Twisted Evil

Yes, I agree- a Sunday show on R2 would be great, maybe in the afternoon.

I listened to the show today on BFBS and it was another great show.

Like the mix of old, new and fairly recent.

Andy-Did you listen to last Friday Night is Music Night on BBC Radio 2 (8/12/06) hosted by Richard Allinson from the Mermaid Theatre in London.

G4 were the special guests. Richard was the compare and brilliant he was too.

Richard showed as much passion for the Classical/Light music played as he does for the music he is normally associated with.

He also gave a very warm tribute to Alan Freeman at the end of the Show.

Richarde Allinson rocks.

Last Sunday's show was good - I even got a mention Wink

.

Agree about the FNIMN as well.

Mark,

I actually missed it but saw the postings and listened again - yes it was pretty good.

Helen,

If I'm right you've had a few mentions - over the past month or so I've been mentioned every week apart from the week I missed obviously!!

People have said Rich relies on texts, emails to fill his show but I don't think that's the case, he just connects with his audience and it's great to hear your name on the radio!!

Rich does indeed rock on - keep supporting him and have a blameless weekend. Wink

Hi Andy

I have had a few on Richard's show. I've missed a few weeks for various reasons. I think Richard is a great broadcaster and enjoy his tongue in cheek banter.

I see you are from where I am originally!

What a great show Richard is delivering today on Radio Oxford. I am online in our dining room listening to him and my wife is in our living room listening to Steve Wright!!!

Mark, think you got the best deal there!

What did you make of the mention of a new show on Sat 23rd?

Andy-Going to have to change my routine on a Saturday. I am a season ticket holder at Chelsea FC and in order to get to the matches on time I have to leave home at 1pm For home matches then I am hoping if Richard has a regular show on a Saturday afternoon then Radio Oxford will have the sense to have a listen again feature as they do for the existing Sunday morning show.

Richard Allinson rocks.

AndyAndy2 · Posted: Sun Dec 17, 2006 10:37 am Post subject:

Footie or Allinson???!!! Ah, the agony of choice!

I'm sure they will have a listen again for the show - seems like every show has a listen again.

I was thinking - miss last hour of wossy, makes a nice segue into Stuart Marconi - brilliant!

Yes Andy-Saturdays on Radio Oxford with Richard on from 12-2pm followed by Stuart from 2-4.30pm on Radio 2-fantastic entertainment.

I am a happy man today with Richards news.

Mark Mayhew · Joined: 11 Dec 2006 Posts: 2897

Not long now until Richard kicks off his new lunchtime show on Saturday 23red Decemberon Radio Oxford 12-2pm.

Should be a great show as Richard will no doubt play fantastic music.

Bring it on Richard.

Mark Mayhew · Joined: 11 Dec 2006 Posts: 2897

Just over 30 minutes until Richard's second Saturday afternoon show on Radio Oxford starting at 12 o'clock midday.

I hope they can sort out a Listen Again feature as I am only able to listen to the 1st hour as I then have to leave to go to Stamford Bridge.

According to the radio times those two shows are a one off. Phil Kennedy is back next Saturday?
