Radio 2 are not trying to bring back the old era Richard Allinson on Early Breakfast followed by Chris Tarrant Breakfast. ( When they both hosted it on Capital ) I wonder if this may happen in 2007?
This would kick some arse at Capital for those listeners who used to tune into them both on the station! |

I wouldn't be surprised if this happens and Mark Goodier covers for Chris? Although I did think Chris didn't like to get up early, but maybe he will be tryed out to see how he sits in that slot? |

Richard Allinson has the ability to be able to cover any time slot in the schedules and still sounds brilliant.
Personally I think he covers the Steve Wright afternoon show very well indeed but equally he sounds at home on both the Dawn Patrol and the Breakfast shows.
The man is simply the complete professional. |

It would be great if Terry and Sarah were both to retire in 2007 then as replacements Allinson and Tarrant would be perfect. |

What if Richard was to replace Terry?
Think about the scenario.
Whoever replaces Terry there will be some who will not tune in again.
But who was covering for Terry recently and doing a sterling job.
They could have shifted everyone round but Richard for me could be an excellent Breakfast host.
It has to change within 2-3 years so my vote goes to RA.
Don't think Tarrant would want to get up at 5am again..do you? |

Hi Mike-Good to know your there!
Your post is the best one I have read in a while. The suggestion made is pure common sense.
Richard Allinson rocks. |

If and when TW retires, I'd still listen regularly if RA took over. Wouldn't bother if Tarrant did, though. He might be alright as filler on a New Year's Eve but I couldn't hack him doing a regular slot. _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Neither of them would have me jumping out of bed to listen to them. I think we know it will be someone else. But Terry isn't going anywhere for a while. He may see off a few more successors before he leaves. _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |

No, I really don't think Allinson will do mornings when Terry retires. Apart from the obvious signs (all his shows have been axed!) they'll want someone with a bit of oomph. |

Mark O-Very good-well noted/spoted
An expression Richard uses a lot.
The latest one is an introduction to his daily show on BFBS Radio 2 show "Hello the next 2 hours are the Soundtrack to your day".
By the way are you tuning into Richard's excellent weekend shows on BBC Radio Oxford-Allinsons Albums and his Sunday morning show-simply radio entertainment at its best.
Richard Allinsion rocks. |

Each to their own in my book.
If Richard took over from Terry i would certainly listen but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't look likely.
Still think Rossy or maybe Steve Wright In The Morning!!!!!!!!!!! |

I was a big fan of Voyager. Janeway in particular...
I thought it was superb, so much better the the latest Star Trek series with the Quantum Leap guy, very poor.
Trouble is, I missed the last show!! did you get home??? |

Well SantaFefan,
I did see the sign for the third rock from the sun, but missed the exit. As we speak..my trusty crew and I are heading for the Zimmer Quadrant, as the Sat Nav is currently offline and my Chief Engineer has mislaid the instruction book for it. And when my CE does find it, very much doubt that they will be able to understand it, as its in Amercian English and they are from the planet Zog.
Will keep you informed

The last episode was a bit of a cop-out by Berman and Braga for my liking. Nice to see them all get home and everything, but it seemed all too rushed to me.
"Enterprise" was an abomination (the theme song used to drive me up the wall to start with, never mind 'who can Archer get beaten up by this week?') - probably the best shows were the ones set in the 'alternate' universe but by then the pooch had well and truly been screwed.
I think it's time for Paranoidmount to leave the franchise alone for a bit, then go back to the post-Dominion War era instead of ret-conning Trek history. However, I hear that Trek XI is being talked about - put JMS, the creator of Babylon 5 in charge and I'll be enthusiastic - if not, it'll be another Nemesis (or just plain 'mess').... _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Yes, JMS would be great, but did you ever watch the pilot for the 'Rangers' series.....whoo moma, what's that stink!!
JanewayDar, you ever heard of www.Darkerprojects.com - they do Star Trek Audio's - really great. _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

Nah, I'd bailed by then: "Crusade" was when the B5 universe jumped the shark.
I'm definitely tempted to buy the complete B5 DVD boxed set on Amazon, though.... _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

JanewayDar - you're welcome - it's a different take on Star Trek - "Space, the final battleground", centres around section 31. They do 20-25 min episodes. However, later ones have the Daleks in, so if you can put the purist in you to one side, they're quite enjoyable.
Cherskiy, agree - the shark was well and truly jumped by then.
Tell you what though, really enjoying the re-imagined Battlestar galactica. _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

Snap! Decided to buy the miniseries, series 1 & 2 just after New Year - am presently a little way into 2 and enjoying it. Hated the original series, though. _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Really, I liked it - Kitchy!
Yes, I went through them like a hot knife through butter, I tell people if you dont like Sci-Fi, you'll still love this.
It's like watching a movie every episode. Can't wait for series 3 on DVD - don't have sky and even if I did - I couldn't wait a week for the next episode!! _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

Andy, I watched the first seriesbut then gave up as it appeared to be going nowhere. I remembered the original Glen Larson production, and IMO the storylines were better first time round.
Also, a female STARBUCK? and Boomer, not only now of oriental extraction, but a cylon as well. Such things do not sit well in this house. _________________ Geddon

Yeah, I know what you mean, that's how I felt when I saw the intro pilot film. But if you view it as a different sci-fi show, it's great. Know what you mean about not going anywhere in series 1, it did take an awful long time to tell aspects of the story but the pay off was great.
Did you know Richard Hatch wanted to revive Galactica before the new show, he put together a 4 min promotiom video, he was in old Colonial Warrior uniform and it looked ok. _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |

Which is probably why I'm enjoying it so much. IMHO, the original was on a par with Buck Rogers ("bidi-bidi-bidi") and I didn't like either as a kid. Katee Sackhoff, who's playing the female Starbuck, is great - she hit the ground running and just gets better and better. As for taking a while to get started, well, I'd rather have the series let the characters get established slowly but firmly, than a rush job (and no stupid 'Turbo' button on the joystick, either!). Too many sf shows have fell by the wayside due to poor characterisation or hasty storylines. _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Chersiky,
Completely agree with you - I guess the difference between 70-80's tv and today is that the programmes have moved into a naturalistic mode - that is you can't imagine anyone in the old shows to speak like that in real life but you could with new series'.
Also, Classic Star Trek and some of Classic Battlestar Galactica could be shown in any order but are now you need to see in order.
You watch West Wing? that's one of the best things that's been on the box in decades! _________________ Some say he once threw a microwave oven at a tramp and that all his potted plants are called 'Steve'.....all we know is, he's called 'The Stig!'. |
