I only caught the end of the bit she read out, but Sarah K mentioned 2 stories related to R2, Terry signing until 2009 and Brand being used in a low profile slot (Sat PM) whilst he is prepared for an afternoon slot Shocked ...she then said it was only speculation.

anyone hear this and where was it from ?

This was on the BBC MB too - it was apparently read out as part of the 'showbiz slot.'

My guess would be that Brand may move to Saturday afternoons when Dermot goes off to do X-Factor. I really can't imagine him replacing Steve Wright.

If he does move to a Saturday afternoon, will he have to tone it down a little - talking about his winkie and bodily functions won't presumably sit too well with an afternoon audience.... what will he be able to drone on about if those topics are out of reach? Rolling Eyes

I don't know which paper she read it in but I've looked on most of the online tabloidy type papers (I assume that's where it would be) and it's not there. Maybe the daft old biddy made it up. Laughing
She did add aftewards the bit about Tel signing until 2009 and then said 'I don't know if it's true' Laughing well we know it is because Terry said so Laughing

Maybe he will have to keep his trousers on if he is on daytime radio. Laughing

Apparently Dermot will be provided with a helicopter when he does auditions for X-Factor and then hosts Big Brother on the same day.

The one good thing about Brand's current slot is that when Eurovision is on we don't have to put up with him!

So he is still doing Big Brother? That guy has no scruples.

Sarah Kennedy must have been having a laugh at our expense when she said Russell Brand was being groomed for an afternoon slot. There's still no sign of him being promoted/moved to an afternoon slot. There is, however, a possibility he could replace Michael Parkinson.

God help us all if that's the case.

Even worse: We could have "The Chris Evans Sunday Show". An extra helping of Evans after the egotistic, smug Steve Wright.

Yeah, he's just signed up for yet another Big Brother spin-off.

I have a fear Radio 2 might sound like this by 2009:

6.30am Chris Evans
9.00 Dermot O'Leary
12.00 Midday with Davina McCall
2.00pm Steve Wright Still Sounding like 1985
5.00 Russell Brand
8.00 Steve Lamacq
10.00 Jonathan Ross
12.00 Lauren Laverne
4.00 - 6.30am Nikki Bedi
