I thought that Radders was excellent this afternoon, didn't catch it all, but what I heard was a breath of fresh air, IMHO. What are other posters views?

Richard Allinson should have got this gig this week.

Remembering what it was like last year when he sat in, I was eagerly awaiting this time. Mark showed how it should be done. There you are, I don't dislike all of Lesley Douglas' Radio 2 signings, I just wish they were all of Mark Radcliffe's calibre.

I agree Mark but we can have an RA overdose you know.
BFBS Monday to Friday and Oxford on Saturday are enough for me but with the news of Mark Goodier working on Smooth in the Mornings i DO hope we get more :

RA in the Afternoon Wink

On a serious note the preparation and research needed for 2-5 plus doing the 9-11 on BFBS must take a lot of time for Rich.

Richard Allinson is a good broadcaster, but I think it's good too have a different person covering every time. It's like the lotto show a different game every time wrighty is off.

I caught the last 15 mins yesterday - Good quality radio.

(Note to Self - get the mp3 radio up and running by 2pm.)

I had an exchange with Lonegroover the other day on Jezza's, or at least he said he was Lonegroover...
He was bantering with somebody so I added "Chris Evans is tripe" and he seconded it! Shocked

I queried his remark and he said he was a changed person... Confused

and has since rubbished Chris Evans at every chance.
Maybe somebody has stolen his id.
Mind you, I also suspect somebody on here as being that very same person....

It's all a mystery. In early days, he was posting on Jezza's using a "Black spy" avatar from the Black spy, White Spy cartoon. His signature was "I am the Smugmeister, I am always right" Sounds right... Rolling Eyes

He's still posting but as I said, now trashing Chris Evans at every chance!
Maybe he was actually joking all along on the R2 board after all.

Well another brill show today from Radders, IMHO. The CD profile was excellent, some cracking tracks and how much did Sally enjoy being involved in his crazy, tongue in cheek quiz. It is crazy, but just gells as brilliant radio presenting, well that's what I think, what about the rest of you? Razz

They can't hold a candle to this "Nortern Lad", IMHO. You will think all your birthdays have come at once, 15 hours of Radders and 3 of Bob Harris. I'm in heaven Very Happy

It's a better approach than SW's...

Sally has a great personality and is always good fun when I've heard her involved with other parts of a show. Radders knows a good foil when he hears one, so it's good that he brings her in and lets her have a chuckle too. I'm sure the main reason is because MR doesn't have an ego the size of a large housing estate, therefore doesn't object to other people being funny on his show.

All SW says to her is "Here's Sal with the traffic", and "thanks Sal".

Although he does sometimes throw in a sarky comment whilst she is in the middle of her report...Muppet!

Well that's it then, Radders back to Manchester, SW and the dimwits back on Monday; brings a Yardbirds track to mind, can anyone guess which one? Wink

Not sure about the Yardbirds... I just know I feel depressed thinking about Steve Wrong and The Performing Seals Crying or Very sad

To think what radio magic we've had this last week- now to be cruelly snatched away in place of the same old tired, re-cycled junk that we usually get served with

BB,

Are you referring to "Still I'm Sad"?

Rainbow did a great version of that on their first album.
