Fantastic show today 16th March sitting in for Steve Wright. I enjoyed the banter. This is what the afternoon show should sound like. Shame it's not all week.

Indeed it is. Such a shame the other buffoon that comes on at 5:00pm isn't away.

Definitely. It really brings the whole mood down. I've always thought that our Ricardo fits in to the afternoon slot very well.

Lord Evan Elpuss, do you really have to turn every topic into a moan about Chris Evans?
Surely you can just stick to the subject once in a while.

Talking of which, I don't like Evans either. Gets on me proverbials, he does. Very annoying.

LEE and colby please note.

I support gazmando's point made here. There are other threads to specifically discuss or moan about Chris Evans.

Blatant or mischievous hijacking of threads with repetitive off-topic comments will be discouraged. Such postings will be relocated or merged to a more relevant thread.

e.g. all replies to the first posting of this thread will be relocated.

I know his show does attract over 5 million, and I do enjoy listening sometimes as I have for 20 odd years too him. Maybe he's been on the Radio for so long, you feel a breath of fresh air when he's not around, and then you have missed him when he returns.

Hopefully Richard will return to Radio 2 shortly.

I think his best cover role is for the weekday show slot 2-5pm.

I think Richard was ideal on Saturday afternoons for a 'chummy' listen! Laughing

I really miss his saturday show it was excellent to dip in and out of while going about various shopping trips or a leisurely listen whilst relaxing in the garden,Stuart Maconie was the only one who has come close to replacing him in this slot.

Hi Dave

They are both missed on Saturday afternoons these days.

I've a couple of recordings and when I occasionally play them you are reminded of what radio used to be like just 4 or 5 years ago how bad it's become a lot of the time sadly.

I enjoyed Chris Evans on saturday afternoons, he was a breath of fresh air. Very Happy

Stuart was OK for a while but became routine, and when you realised some of the shows were recorded that was a let down.

Now I just switch off at 1pm Rolling Eyes
