Is he talking over the music ? On a couple of pieces tonight it appeared that he was still taking when the music was playing in the background.

Losing the shows iconic sig tune is something I'm struggling hard to accept. Ditto the introduction of that dreadful, cheap, Jon Briggs-voiced ident. I'm not mad keen on the trails clunkily inserted between the music either. Really puts a handbrake on the show.
That noise you can hear is Sherrie Morley spinning in his grave.

| Yes, he did seem to be talking over the music. Apart from being annoying in itself, it made the show seemed rushed - as if he couldn't wait to get onto the next piece of music. |

Didnt Wogan say this morning that there was a feature in the Telegraph by Alan Titchmarch on his "Perfect Sunday". He made no mention of his two hour radio show, preferring to watch TV on a Sunday night

Yup, I guess they'd call it 'evolution'. That and the trails and the lost sig tune and the 'Titch' Jingle.
I call it vandalism!

We had the usual wildly inappropriate trailers last night. One was for Jeremy Vine's Panorama show on doctors and nurses being assaulted by patients (you can imagine the hyped up menace in that trailer). Another was for Ken Bruce's return, which doesnt sound too bad in theory, except for the booming base track that accompanies it.
* Edited for spelling

ern,
I'm very disappointed with the whole thing. I'm sure Titchy doesn't like the trailers.
I've written to the producer.

Yes its a mess at the moment with some good music interspersed with some horrendously inappropriate trailers.
The recorded annoucement at the start of the show and after the travel news is also poor IMHO.
The handover from Walker to Titch was bizzarre on Sunday. Walker played Elvis Hound Dog, cut to a poor jingle from Deadly saying "and now here is Alan Titchmarch with Melodies for You" and then straight into the first piece of music. Very abrupt and jarring.

Got to agree about the messy hand overs.
I've said on another thread that the 'on the half hour' starts don't bother me (they did someone else) but when both the shows either side are recorded I don't think they work. Then of course you have 2 news breaks rather than the one that you would have if the show started on the hour.
I think the new Sunday schedules to are, to say the least, not good. I'm waiting for someone to invent a radio that records and one that you can timeshift so I can start listening to POTPs an half an hour later!
Everything else will be on schedule then!

H? That's John H's new screen name 
Anyway Helen, my Roberts DAB radio already does what you want, the only snag is you have to have had the radio on for half an hour (for it to 'record') before timeshifting it back that half hour.
Maybe Sky+ can do that too or does it not work on channel 0102?

I've been 'H' for the last 4 years on here and on the Radio 2 boards! have you been wearing blinkers 
I don't think the DAB radios record more than 30 mins (apart from the ones that you put a memory card into). I need to do the whole afternoon.
As for SKY, you have to use a completely different method of manually recording radio shows and I don't think you can timeshift. It ties up the TV in the house to radio 2, not negotiable in our house.
It needs to be a radio.

Hi H,
yes I know you've been H for 4 years, but on HERE John Hutchinson's screen name is 'H'. He doesn't post very often. I'd slap a copyright notice on him next time he dares show his screen name
| Quote: | | I don't think the DAB radios record more than 30 mins (apart from the ones that you put a memory card into). I need to do the whole afternoon. |
I thought that when you timeshifted on the DAB it stayed that way until you cancelled it or switched it off, otherwise you'd miss the next half hour (because you were listeneing to the previous half hour). It continues to record while it's playing (continuously replacing the last half hour with the next bit and so on).

LOL!!
Re the DAB I don't think there is the ability to record more than 30 mins (or an hour at most) unless you have the type of DAB radio that takes a 1or 2GB memory card. There's only one of those I think but I don't know if it timeshifts. I looked at it last year but bought a WIFI one instead.

PS I'm known as H by a couple of broadcasters as well

I rarely visit R2MB, must go and rescue John H
The R3MB boards are in turmoil since Beeb reduced the forums, mass moddings, one presenter (Rob Cowan) posting to try and save face, a real mess. The controller is on Feedback next week. |

It is slightly better, from what I have heard anyway, this week. The only trailer I have heard so far has been for the celebrity Pause For Thought slot on Sarah Kennedy's show next week. Still the half past the hour start breaks the show up terribly.

I spoke too soon. Here is Jeremy Vine trying to sell us something on the Mike Harding show. I'm not sure why Harding can't do his own trailers?

In the Geddon Household, Mr Titchmarch has been given many indulgences for playing the Intermezzo from the Karalia Suite - It's a pity that the missed the ultimate trick, by not playing the Version by Messrs Emerson , O'List, Davison and Jackson collectively known as the Nice.

Yes, nice music in the show, but that was extremely incompetent and lets it all down. |
