Neither will I. I fail to understand how the ability to have a high speed car crash qualifies you as a Radio 2 presenter

Why on earth did Lesley Douglas and co give this guy this gig. What has he ever done for the world of radio entertainment-absolutely nothing imho.
I won't be listening. |

Perhaps she invited the wrong Richard or forgot it's a Bank Holiday week
..probably the same format of dreadful calls in about drival though..
..but heh-ho it'll be worth a listen for talk of crashing and caravans |

Yes Santa, his name is Richard Cranium and he has many psuedonyms on R2. The ones I know of are Ross, Evans, Wright, Brand, O'Leary and Mitchell, maybe you can think of some others?

People are always saying that she should employ more local radio pesenters.

Typical of some of you lot, huffing and puffing about why isn't someone else doing it bring back Danny Baker dig up John Dunn blah blah blah.
I'm listening now and I must admit I'm rather enjoying it.
Don't knock it till you've tried it.
Happy Christmas all of you. |

Good enough Nod, at least you gave it a whirl before deciding it wasn't for you.
It was a bit lightweight perhaps, but I thought Hammond held it together reasonably well and his voice and manner didn't irritate as I feared it would. |

Yes I listened to quite a bit really, just got fed up of the 'science expert' and his waffling on..and Hammond could do with more topics to talk about, not really knowing what you are doing and relying on listeners calls soon wears off.
Merry Xmas  |

| Soon got tired of it, and went onto Listen Again for the Johnnie Walker show. I think I may be filling this Christmas with Listen Again slots. Nice to see though that Ken Bruce remains at the helm for Christmas week. |

Nice one Bobbi saying at least I turn up Then Hammond said he had tummy problems with Stones.
He was worried going to sleep in case he wakes up ill and they shout at him |

I had to turn off. He's not a radio presenter, and LD has scored yet another own goal. Chelsea should get her to take penalties

Truly awful presenter. He's got a whiney, nasally voice that sounds like Jeremy Hardy without the humour and I can do without the interminable waffle about football. If I want to know the latest on synchronised mincing I'll listen to 5 live. I did enjoy the irony of him taking the pi$$ out of Guus Hiddink's name. This from a man who calls himself Hamster

I wasn't sure whether Bobby really didn't like him or whether she was acting the part? But her first meeting with him this morning sounded awfully confrontational for the meekest and mildest lady on the station. Maybe she's been taking Lynn's vitamins by mistake.
No - must say, didn't enjoy the show at all. What a welcome transition when the second Richard came on at 10. |

Yet more confirmation that Radio2 is going down the tubes. Why do we want to hear about the Chemical Bros? This is not Radio 1, Lesley, please remember. And, NO, we do NOT want Hammond in a regular slot.

If Hamster is being groomed as Terry Wogan's replacement, then R2 is truly going down the tubes. I tried listening to part of the show this morning but it was the radio equivalent of scratching a nail down a blackboard. Conversation with Julie whats-her-face from 6Music seemed stilted, he had no rapport with the lovely Bobbie Pryor and really, he just seemed completely out of his depth. All the ingredients needed for another la Douglas success story, then....
To cap it all, since I turned it off at around 0830, I forgot to turn it back on again for Richard Allinson. Curse you, Hamster!

Well I did it turn it back on just before 10, and I was saddended to hear his confidence that he would speak to us all again very soon. I'm glad I live in Scotland where we seem to work most bank holidays... |

It might be sooner that that! There is speculation that Richard Hammond is being lined-up for a Saturday afternoon slot prior to his appointment to weekday breakfast (presuming that Wogan leaves).
As the saying goes: car crash radio... |

Who did you hear that nonsense from? Iain Smith?
There are too many rumours and speculation going around about Wogan. Some people have even jumped to the conclusion that he's quit Eurovision. |

No, it's Iain Smith who posts ridiculous rumours and speculation everywhere without a shred of evidence to back it up.

That's the kind of "breaking news" he likes to broadcast. Like the time he so wrongly (or deliberately) announced the deaths of David Jacobs and Johnnie Walker on the old Radio 2 messageboard.
Did you know that Iain runs a death poll on another forum?
Clever that... |

I don't about the estimable Mr. Smith, but I'm sure I've seen posts by our good friend and court jester Scotty over on those.

| They are both in the same league as far as I am concerned. I will never forgive Iain Smith for upsetting Johnnie Walker on his first broadcast after he had been off-air for 8 months following cancer treatment. |

| Ask anyone on this forum about it - they heard Johnnie's broadcast. Iain posted a very nasty message on Johnnie's (now defunct) messageboard stating that he should be pensioned off on the grounds of ill-health. Johnnie even responded to Iain's nasty thread but was modded! He had a moan off about that, too! |
