I think he is on a long hoilday in the US. I suppose he is entitled after 15 years on the nightshift. He will be back in mid to late July I think

The BBC are short on money at the moment. Hence Pete Mitchell presenting shows from 3-6am on Friday night and being back at 4.30pm on Saturdays to cover for Dermot O'Leary.

actually Ive just been told Anita Ranis sitting in for her on 6 music while shes on radio 2- just shows how much more important radio 2 is that she'd rather do an overnight show there than a mid afternoon show on 6 music

He's travelling from LA to New York in a mustang (I think) convertible. Stuart Maconie was to link up with him tonight but they couldn't get him.

According to Nikki Bedi this morning he's probably coming up to Death Valley. I wonder if he'll get 'buzzed' by the USAF like my parents did when they were there a few years ago!! Shocked Shocked
