Alex Lester or Richard Allinson, though I can't see either of them getting the nod - Dermot will probably get asked again.

Yes, I think the bad news has been broken elsewhere on the forum.

In this 40th year celebration and after seeing Emperor Rosco on the tv this morning, why couldn't he and some other original Pirate and Radio 1 jocks cover the show?
That would be fun! in fact it would be great.
anything would be better than Devina or Aled ruddy Jones.... |

I see Eamonn Holmes is covering for Aled on Sunday. I don't mind him, but it is yet another Davina-esq example of a TV flavour of the minute being shoe-horned into giving the impression they're seasoned radio pros.
And yes, I know Holmes has done Five and Magic stints, but it's all quite recent. I like my prospective R2 jocks to have been properly round the radio block, proving their worth.
(That said, Pete Mitchell is the example that etc..etc..!!)

Surely someone with a spiritual side would be more appropriate as a replacement with Aled.

Holmes has been circling Radio 2 for years, and this isn't his first appearance. He made no secret of the fact he wanted Jimmy Young's job before Jeremy was announced. |

Him & Nicky Campbell then?
Holmes has been causing controvery because he is flown by private jet on Wednesday to Glasgow to present a lottery show for BBC1 then back to London to do Sky News breakfast on Thursday morning. Wonder if Dame Lesley will provide a private jet?

Given the increasing girth of Mr Holmes I'm surprised the Beeb aren't using a Jumbo Jet to ferry him around ............. |

I'm just pleased I'm at work the first week, so will miss out on the 'delights' that will be in store from Ms McCall.

10 minutes in and she's already grating on my brain - all I can say is thank goodness for 'Listen Again', now I can listen to the parts of Ken's show that I missed last week!  |

I don't mind the McCall too much on the telly, though there's just something about her voice that doesn't translate well to radio. Bring back Gloria Hunniford!!!

| I would expect she's done a test run hosting a show which hasn't gone live to get her voice balanced. She does sound a little less loud. I think thats due to voice coaching? |

Thought I would give Davina a chance. She hadn't been on for more than 10 minutes when she announced that she would be taking phone calls from people describing how exciting their day is.
Personally I don't give a holy flying footprint how someone else's day is going. If anyone's existence is so mind-numbingly boring that they fill it by ringing some dubious numpty on the radio, then my comment would be - get yourself a vibrator or a rubber doll.
Ken isn't allowed to do an entertaining phone-in competition, but Davina seems to have permission to encourage her Big Brother brigade to torment our brain cells with their witterings.
Angry - you bet.

From looking at the webcam I see that Davina isn't driving the desk - why is this? Is it beyond her miniscule brain-power?  |

Thank goodness for The Jazz - real quality music and no shouting, and DEFINITELY no phone-ins!!
Has Davina been chucked off the air yet? Let me know when it's safe to go back to R2.

Aside from any other shortcomings I feel she has a very 'visual' , animated style of delivery that just doesn't suit the intimacy of radio.
Keep at it with that shoe-horn, Lesley. You'll fashion a radio presenter out of one of these tv names one day I'm sure. Meantime, check out this masterclass...

Apparently the internet is a great source to campaign to bring things back which helped cadburys relaunch Wispa in October. Will this campaign/ forum help not to bring back Davina to Radio 2?

A pleasant enough voice but not much substance to the discussion. I gave up after an hour and switched to a CD.
