Looks like another chunk of my weekend R2 listening just went out the window. There's only SOTS and the occasional POTP left now.
I liked Wossy on R2 Saturday morning and his spell on the naughty step showed that his stand-ins all came up short. He plays a good range of music and he's a good interviewer (when he wants to be, as Parky pointed out)
I'd like to see Maconie back but I fear we will get the bland Tarbuck.
Can I also just point out that nobody knows how much Ross was paid. It's rumoured 18m for three years but that's never been confirmed. After all, it was rumoured that there were WMD in Iraq!

Time was when Mark Lamarr was the regular stand-in for Wossy. Then, for reasons known only to the Radio 2 powers-that-be, they stopped using him. Of the stand-ins that I heard, he was the best. Why not give Lynn Parsons her own show? I'd still like to see the return of Sybil Ruscoe and Mark Goodier.
Yes, I'd like to see Stuart Maconie have his own show again, just co-presenting with Mark Radcliffe seems a bit of a waste, unless, of course Stuart likes things that way.

There was WMD in Iraq. It was the Saddam regime & the region is much better since he was ousted
Likewise, it is an open secret that Wossy was paid in excess of 6 Million quid PA. And Radio 2 will be muc h better with him gone!  |

As long as it's not David Tennant and Catherine Tate - the way she giggled through the programme made me long for Ken Stott (Steady Eddie from 'Takin' Over The Asylum') to take over!

I agree. Their show made even Wossy & Psychofant sound almnost listenable to.
I would be happy with JW doing it, or Bill Oddie! |
