I think Mark Radcliffe has really done wonders over the last few years to make the show brilliant whilst Steve Wright has been off on his Holidays. Emma Forbes is with him this week, and on other occasions it's been Liza Tarbuck.
Lesley Douglas has tried him out and it's paid off.
Keep up the good work.

Is that called praising with faint damnation?
OK, I've criticised our Lesley plenty of times on here and in other places, but just to prove that I can give credit when it's due, Mark Radcliffe is one of her better signings IMHO.

If he has to erm in order to allow that magnificent knowledgeable brain to whir around, producing such finely crafted and witty offerings, then I say three cheers for the erm!

Have to say MR has grown on me over the years, and I like him with Stuart M. Personally, I think a cabbage would be better than SW, and would certaimly be wittier, but keep up the good work Mark!

I know it feels like years, Mark, but Steve has been on holiday, for only days. |

Sadly when Steve returns, it will feel like he's been away for only minutes. Einstein could have used him to illustrate one of his theories... or rather, several of them.

| Great as it is this week, I wish Mark would be allowed to present on his own (or, if he must have sidekick, bring back Sue Perkins). |

Well, I sort of agree - I think he's good on his own but I've heard him say before how he prefers to present with company. As for favourite sidekicks - Sally Lindsay all the way, with me.

This is was his downfall on Radio 1 Breakfast. It makes it more interactive. |

Why are Douglas and co obsessed with the afternoon show being presented by a DJ and either a zoo gang or some hanger on.
What is wrong with Radcliffe riding solo-I'm sure it would be a much better show if he was on his own. |
