Interesting to see Jodie covering for P O'G on 10-01-10.

I really enjoy listening to Paul-he plays a very interesting mix of music on a Sunday-lots of Northern soul, Motown hits etc.

Will Jodie still have the dead pets feature I wonder.

Jodie has covered for Elaine Paige too. Dead Pet spot is something different that other stations wouldn't touch.

The Dead Pets feature always make me smile/chuckle-must be my sense of humour!

I've really turned on to P O'G. Even tuned in to watch the last of his TV programmes. He's someone who's really re-invented himself, after dispensing with that dreadful Lily Savage thing, and has a great way with words.

Not sure about Jody Prenger standing in for him. Even though I was raised in the north of England, that whole "eeh by 'eck" routine sounds completely wrong on her. Mostly she just irritates me.

A great way with words? 'Put yer 'ands together' seemed to be his catchphrase if I happened to be channel hopping when his TV show was on Rolling Eyes

He is a pantomime dame that's all. Only Les Dennis is more irritating in my book.

I am glad when his show on Radio 2 started I had no idea who Paul O Grady was. Had I known it was Lilly Savage I would have avoided the show.
But he does indeed seem to have re invented himself. Quite an enjoyable show, tho i don't listen all weeks

Another good thing about Pauls' show is that, like Carringtons', it is pretty eclectic. He plays a wide range of stuff there, including music you rarely hear elsewhere

I am not enjoying listening to Paul's stand-in.

I am breaking my own rule-ie keep on listening-I keep thinking it will get better in a minute-it hasn't so far!

For once we find ourselves in agreement, Mark.

I've turned the radio down.. and spent a few minutes debating about which is worse, Cilla or Jodie Prenger (as a radio presenter, of course). Not yet reached a conclusion.

The music's OK though. Smile

Had to look her name up on Wikipedia to work out who she was.

That's three minutes of my life I wish I had back again. Rolling Eyes
