Looking at the pictures on the Radio 2 website I was surprised to see some show both presenters clutching large sheets of paper whilst sitting on the top of the tram. This would seem to suggest that this rubbish was actually scripted.... amazing. Rolling Eyes

At one point Emma Forbes enthused about people on another passing tram, and urged anyone on that tram to text them. Whatever for???

How much longer can this abomination continue to pollute our Saturday evenings?

Won't the sheets be printouts of the texts and e-mails they're reading, plus the names of the records coming up?

I heard some of it....
it was pretty abysmal radio... is this really what the average Radio 2 listener wants to hear? I don't think so.

I thought yesterday's show was a slight improvement on usual. Still appalling though!

I feel really sorry for Emma Forbes. She can't truly believe that this dross is a suitable vehicle for her abilities. She's really degrading herself by participating at his level. Surely she's not this desperate for work. Crying or Very sad
