I'm listening a couple of rooms away and yes, it's a good show ( apart from "Wonderful World" playing right now... yawn.)

Is it me or does Bob sound a lot like Johnnie Walker? I haven't heard him for a long while or maybe it's because I'm listening from afar!

I missed that Arcader, don't know how as I have been listening since he started at 4, I will catch it on listen again later. It's a great show anyway.

Of course! Didn't think I'd forget you lovely people, did you? Very Happy

This is how Drivetime should be done, BTW....

Missed the first hour of Bob on Drivetime. I hope they hurry up & get it on 'listen again'. Did anyone hear Mark Lamarr's Christmas show? This place got a mention on there too!

A damn good reason to use the Listen Again feature (as if one needed any prompting with most of the scheduled shows this week.)

Well its the right show for the week thats in it, but it would be a bit slow & languid for a normal working week IMHO.

IMHO this is exactly what a 'Drivetime' show should be like all the time!

Well I dont see the point in using one show to knock another, so I wont bother going down this route any further, only to say that Bob has always struck me as more of a late night jock more suited to winding down. Unless you want to be in bed by seven every week night I cant see that working too well.

The holidays are different of course, as we should in theory be chilled out all the time.

Which is certainly what I would want to drive home to after a hard day's graft.

Horses for courses. I quite like something a bit lively & entertaining banter.

Ernie, sorry but I must disagree, it was just a top presenter playing excellent music with the emphassis on the music and the listener. The guests were interviewed in a relaxed style that was much to my liking, as was the whole show.

Well I'm not even disagreeing with you. I enjoy Bob at this time of year. Just not sure i want him all year, but since that isnt going to happen I'm not unhappy at all! Laughing

It's good ernie that we can agree on how good the show was tonite, no doubt we we will agree to disagree about the rest of the year. Which reminds me ernie, a very Happy & Prosperous New Year to you and yours.

Quite right BB. And I'll add my good wishes for 2008 to everyone on this board too.
