I do detect that he is taking the pee out of Steve Wright with comments like "he's the greatest living broadcaster" and "I just wish his show was a bit longer" Wink

Oh and he says Terry wont be back until Wednesday.

I thought he was taking the pee, except I did wonder if the comment about the show being longer was more of a reference to his own tardiness than Steve (Wright's been making a few digs about Chris cutting it fine lately).

However, his signoff "I've got to fix my sundial because it's running a bit late" was pure cheese, and could have come from Tony Blackburn or Alan Partridge!

I see. It starts to make a bit more sense now, as Chris mentions hearing some of Steve's show on his blog today. He was in fine form tonight analyising all his fellow presenters.

- Steve Wright "he's a psycho"
- Sarah Kennedy "away with the birds in a world of her own"

They must have been at a team building exercise today Laughing

Ernie-Does this mean that Richard Allinson is in covering for Terry Wogan on Tuesday 24th April as you say Terry is away until Wednesday.

Mark, I think it likely that Richard will be covering for Terry tomorrow. When he handed over to Ken this morning he said 'might see you tomorrow'

In my humble opinion Chris Evans is the worst presenter on Radio 2 and I just cannot bring myself to listen to his twaddle. What a drop in standards it has been to feature him on drivetime this last year or so.

He took the Steve Wright stuff to an extra level tonight. Though he stressed he didn't want nasty messages (he'd obviously had a few) I couldn't tell if he's being silly or if something's going on.

Ian,
It sounds as if there's been some friction between them-reading between the lines.

I don't like CE, but I'm glad someone is having a open dig at SW. A lot of the other presenters make veiled prods.

SW doesn't seem to be a popular man behind the scenes. He does strike me as the sort of person to be rude and arrogant off-air, and he appears to have made plenty of enemies at R2

His only on-air friend appears to be Jeremy Vine - who by a funny coincidence, ain't in this week...

It's strange, because you'd think Steve would have plenty of time to make friends with the others as he's the only one working there 9-5 every day! Laughing

Dunno, there was something wierd about it, it made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I'm not an SW fan by any means but I'm not sure that 'airing one's dirty washing in public' is the best idea in the world.

Well Santa, I can listen to SW, which is more than I can say for CE, but lets face it CE will never ever get the audience that SW does. I am not keen on him, but loadsa people listen and one can only assume, enjoy the show! Strange but true Confused

I was.... that soldier...

I like old Stevie boy, always have, but I caught a smidge of Mr.Evans this evening whilst doing the washing up ( wet hands - couldn't turn off ) and noticed just how much he overtalks people and how manic he is!
No, not for me in a million years, nor Richard Allinson. Rolling Eyes
I've been listening to Big L more lately. Very Happy

That's Steve Wright and Tim Smith in the studio. It was Children In Need day so there was a constant update of pictures, even though there was no webcam. The poor guy even had to broadcast live!

Here's another pic from the same day:

Yes its probably not wise to wash their dirty laundry in public. But its enjoying watching from the sidelines none the less. Laughing
