BBC are cutting down on production staff. They don't all just work on the Sarah K show. I guess they are needed somewhere else with bigger prospects.

This thread is rather like the very long Sarah Kennedy one on digital spy where people are clearly just listening in so they can whine about it.
Same thing seems to be happening here, listen for 5 minutes then spend more than that typing out a message about how bad it was.
Everyone needs a hobby I suppose... |

Hmmm. I remember when JW was doing drive time and would move to breakfast to cover for Wogan. They tried moving Sally to mornings, but I don't think it ever really worked as it did in the evenings. Now JW usually gets Bobbi or Nick if Lynn takes hols at the same time.
I suspect Sally's not a morning person!

Hmmm (again!). I remember that slightly differently - it seemed to me that Sally was moved to mornings to separate her from Johnnie. If I recall correctly, JW didn't cover breakfast in that period and he and Sally didn't broadcast together. Or I could be reading too much into it!

| Sally did move to mornings for a while - but, and I remember this as her son is the same age as my daughter, her son was doing his A levels and I got the impression she wanted to be around more for him. |

I emailed Sally a while ago and asked why she couldnt revert to mornings when JW was on breakfast, she had the courtesy to reply saying that it was a lovely idea but wasnt possible. Big shame.

Hopefully when the whole team follow him over to breakfast it wont end up like Moyles on Radio 1 with too much talk and not enough music.

We are talking about Chris Evans here... seriously, do you think he'll change?! |

Some hope! How many records do you think will be heard unfettered? A big fat zero, I expect.

Chris was in Newcastle signing copies of his autobiographies this afternoon, so I popped in after work (not to queue... too long... but just for a gander). Just long enough to overhear a guy saying "I used to love you on breakfast". Chris said, "well, we'll be on breakfast again soon". The guys' reply: "really"? - I guess the news doesn't spread to all corners.
As for the book - I'll get it out the library... perhaps. Still haven't got around to reading JW's book yet though. |

You should have asked him do you visit this forum?

If I had known he was in Liverpool I would have made the trip and gone to see him with a big massive loud haler and screamed and shouted through it and said there you go how the hell do you like it! No you know what we have to put up with!

Let's guess what the first song Chris Evans will play on his Breakfast Show!
'Shout, Shout (Knock youself out)' By Ernie Maresca.
'Shout' by The Isley Brothers.
'Twist and shout' by The Beatles. |

One sentence in the Guardian's report about Moira Stuart's possible role in January bothered me...
Evans... is due to start rehearsals for the show next week.
Not taking Terry's advice, then.

Well, as Simon put it this afternoon - Chris is rehearsing getting up in a morning. And, I hate to bring it up, but given his history... |

That's as hackneyed as the number 38 bus. Responsible family man, now (don't let me down, Chris)
Although, anyone "changing shift" from five in the afternoon to five in the morning will require some time to adjust.
His own admission that he's best when he's off-the-cuff and without big names to bother him (Moira Stuart's OK - she must be like an auntie to him). So don't over-prepare / rehearse it.

Nah , he won't need any time to adjust, maybe over a weekend and that would be it. Rehearse? What's to rehearse? Just turn up and talk.

That's what Terry told him. That's what Terry's been doing for 40-odd years, Worked a treat for him.
