Sarah Kennedy is always going on about her show "only has a skeleton staff". Then just before 7.30 on Friday mornings she reads out a list of about half a dozen production people who keep the show on air.

How many staff does Ms Kennedy feel she needs? Perhaps she would like a butler, a hairdresser, make-up artist, etc as well?

Oh no. She has a thing about Size Zero models so I dont think she would let any skinny people work on her show Wink

Would I be correct in assuming the daft old bird (I mean SK) doesn't drive her own desk?

Thanks LEE,

I should have realised... how else could she keep playing those irritating animal and assorted sound effects.

*meow*

Was there any mention of a researcher, as she often gives the impression she knows damn all about some types of music?

An equal opportunities form would be in order given the faintly racist comments she's given in the past about Nina Simone and Randy Crawford.

Yes if she is hiring, a researcher and a lawyer might come in handy.

Sarah comes in does the show and goes home once it turns 7.30. I think she has a pretty dame busy life outside radio 2 with her other commitments.

I hope we're not imposing on Sarah's time, expecting her to work for a couple of hours or so every morning.

After all, she's "only" earning around £250,000 of our money doing the Dawn Patrol
