An inspiring Pause for Thought from Father Brian d'Arcy on the resumption of devolved government in Northern Ireland. But didn't it jar when they followed it with the Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Any More!

I sometimes wonder if the producers genuinely don't realise what they're lining up next or whether they're making some kind of snide comment about what's been said....
Of course, the Thoughts on TW's programme go out live so presumably the next record has been decided well in advance - maybe it should therefore be a neutral title, one that won't be inappropriate.

Still cant beat Steve Wright's choice of songs on Sunday Love Songs for inappropriateness.

Well, you can't leave it at that, Ernie - examples, please! 
(SW made a complete dogs breakfast of one of the questions in the so-called 'Big Quiz' this afternoon. How I laughed.)

Well it tends to go along the lines of a couple celebrating an anniversary and saying how much in love they are with each other forever and then Stevie plays something like Whitney Houston and "Saving All My Love For You" which is about a mistress trying to get a husband to leave his wife.

Chicago - If you leave me now is also a big favourite of his for anniversaries.

What's next? "Killing Me Softly" or "Suicide is Painless"?

I assume Alan Boyd didn't realise what the content of Father Darcy's message was going to be.
He usually makes good choices after PFT, I'm sure it was just an oversight. |

Some of Jezza Vine's producers selections can be toe-curling and quite sarcastic....
Although, "Yellow River" after an item about drinking your own urine was inspired
Damn near produced my own yellow river from laughing

I remember that one well PJ!
Re the Pause For Thought, I did notice that Ian but I agree with Toggy that the following songs are usually well chosen.

I can't forget a news item on Radio Aire, about Richard Whiteley being admitted to hospital, being followed by Europe's The Final Countdown!

I have a fear that Steve Wright might follow a news item on the Madeleine McCann case with Michael Buble's 'Call Me Irresponsible' in honour of the parents, or 'Since I Lost My Baby' by the Action.
My sister, who gets very sensitive about news stories about missing children, once said he was irresponsible playing 'Sara' by Jefferson Starship when Sara Harper went missing.

I'm afraid the words "good taste" and "sensitivity" are rarely if ever mentioned when discussing Steve Wright's attitude

And I suppose if the sun moved too close to the earth that would be Steve's fault too. 
It's the producer who choses the music so blame him/her if you must blame anyone. |

Fair point but surely the presenters must recognise good / bad taste when they see it.
I remember back in the 90's whrn Danny Baker has the R1 Sat / Sun slots and it was remembrance Sunday. So, strainght after the minutes silence (was only a min in them days) he played an advert for a show ranting about remembrance - why should we do it anymore.
Danny, quite rightly, took umbrige to this and threw the tape around the studio and had a go at his producer on air!! Fantastic!

That probably would be Steve's fault, 'cos if he gets any fatter he'll start generating his own gravity-field- thereby negating Earth's, which would send us screaming into the Sun... ner, ner!
(Love ya really, Toggy  )
The fact remains, I't's up to the presenter to realise when the boundaries of poor taste are being breached- and say "No!" After all, it's the presenters name that's on the tin, as it were.

| But it's possible that the presenter might not make the connection so in my opinion it's down to the producer. |

I guess it all depends on what the presenters doing during the news - popping out to the loo, etc.
But yeah, I can see what you're coming from - perverse producing though, and of course producers aren't the face of the show so won't get any flack.
