How of-the-moment I thought, to coincide with the new series of Dr. Who, to use a Dalek to voice Alan's new jingle.

Have a listen again.

They are the groove addicts ones which other presenters use. Slightly sung in a different way. I like them.

Titchmarch is a hardy annual. He would just sprout up again somewhere else. Laughing

Hmm, some are ok, but that Titchmarsh one is TERRIBLE!

Chorley FM have Dalek-voiced jingles too. I can't tell if it's deliberate homage to Doctor Who or somebody's idea of coolness.

Is it an homage to Jonnie Walker's classic 'He's in....JOHNNIE WAL-KERRRR', perchance? Smile

The Chorley FM ones don't say 'Coming in your ears' or 'Where the listener comes first' at all, do they?

Sorry, I know it definitely exists, but I think of the idents on Phoenix Nights when it's mentioned!

Sadly no. They're trying to distance themselves from Peter Kay (even though he came up with the name first - the cheeky sods!)

They appear to have changed how they do the 6.30 junction between Walker and Titchmarch to make it sound less like a lorry changing gears from 5th to 1st at 70 mph.

Walker now says goodbye after the last record, then there is the Titchmarch jingle and then Alan says hello before his first piece. Not bad considering that both shows are recorded seperately. It just proves that when they do think about the flow of the schedule they can do it quite well.

And Alan is playing Sailing By now.Two thumbs up from me. Laughing

But now he is running a promo for the new Monday night lineup. Totally ruins the atmosphere coming out of Sailing By.
