According to Digiguide, Dermot O'leary will be sitting in for Ken Bruce the week after next (april 2-6). No idea why Ken is having another break so son after the last one but anyway thi sis an interesting development as it is the first time that Dermot will have presented a daily show on radio 2,and could mean there is bigger things ahead of him on the station maybe...

Oh my god is this whats going to be happening now Mark Goodier has departed to Smooth?

I think Pete Mitchell would be ideal.

Oh no!

Couldn't they have got Stuart? Or even Allinson? Or even, er, Andrew Collins or another 6Music-er?

The weird thing is, Ken is fantastic despite a dodgy playlist while Kermit is dodgy despite a great playlist. If only the 2 could somehow go together...

Even Pete Mitchell would have been better (probably!) Errr maybe not.

I suppose you could say it's different everytime?

Mark,
So is the cold virus, but we're not happy to see it.

Stand by for fluffs, anecdotes of paper cuts and really really bad radio.

Crying or Very sad

I suppose Mark Goodier has now gone too smooth so the network is scrapping the barrel to who's covering these shows? Richard Allinson is on BFBS and can't really cover mid mornings and only really able to cover Sarah and Steve's shows, although he did cover for Wogan over the festive period, but his BFBS shows were pre-recorded. I suppose Stuart Macconie and Alex Lester have had a go at covering mid mornings and Pete Mitchell and Mark Radcliffe for Steve Wright, so they have all had a turn and it's Dermots now. I would think Lesley is given everyone a bash at covering a holiday cover to give the feel what the listeners feedback is like? Also I suppose the strap line for R2 continues " Different Everytime"?

Does that mean we'll see the likes of Bob Harris, Gambo, Mark Lamarr and Elaine Paige doing stints for Ken in future?

They didnt ask Tim Smith or Janey Lee Grace. Maybe they are busy recording the Steve Wright show while Ken Bruce is on?

I groaned when I saw this - I love Ken's show but I won't be able to put up with O'Dreary. My listening hours at R2 are going down and down.

So are mine - when I think of how many hours a week I listened live or 'again' for back when R2OK began, compared to now, it's definitely decreasing.
