Terry celebrates his new contract by taking a holiday Laughing

According to the radio times website (so don't shoot me if it's wrong!) Johnnie is sitting in for Terry on May 14th, I'm assuming he is doing the whole week but only Monday is visible at the moment.

I for one don't need " Dynamic" at Breakfast. All I want is for someone to help me set the autopilot, and ease me down the M62 until about 8:00 am, by which time I might have woken up.

Johnnie Walker or Richard Allinson at breakfast would always be ok with me rather than some loud idiot who takes delight in hitting me around the ear drums first thing.

And I think Paul OGrady is much better on the telly than radio.

Lady B: This obsession with Danny B seems to be bordering on the unhealthy.

As for Paul O'Grady he'd break my telly if he sat on it.

Personally, I'd prefer RA to JW, but like Fred I like to be eased into the day.

I think Johnnie is good at getting most of the staff on duty involved with the show. It's what a breakfast show should sound like...Terry is doing this, but he's been advised too.

But Please NO ROLL CALL, it's like being back at school ( Ithink I can remember that far back).

I have never found Dame Edna funny so if 'she' ever turned up on the radio I would be reaching for the off button pretty sharpish.

Les Paterson at drivetime. Now`that WOULD encourage me to listen again at 5.05pm instead of the dross alternative!

Can't say I ever found Barry Humphries funny in any of his incarnations, so I'd be reaching for the sick bag as well as the 'off' button.

The latter would be true of O'Grady too - his voice to me is the radio equivalent of dragging a nail down a blackboard.... Sad

Just giving this a kick to remind everyone that Johnnie is sitting in for 2 weeks from Monday while Terry takes a break.

Shouldn't that have read 'another break'! To get over his jaunt in Finland?! What is his secret? I need to learn it!

Actually he's only had 2 weeks off this year, less than Bruce, Evans, Wrighty, and Sarah.

Wonder what the position will be by the year end.

One more roll-call and it's Humberside for 15 minutes.

But why bother everyday, surely his 'staff' are the same all the time, it just seems pointless to me

And is it me or does Deadly go completely hyper when Johnnie is on, I know he's not exactly shy and retiring but blimey! Laughing

I cannot see why Johnnie doing his customary roll call should be a problem for anyone. All he is doing is engaging the rest of the team in the programme. other presenters do it various ways. Why not?

It's not a problem exactly but it all seems rather pointless when it's the same people everyday.

I didn't mean any offence, as I said I like Johnnie, I like him a lot, he's lovely. Smile

I don't think he's been quite as good as last time he was on though, just my humble opinion.

I think Johnnie is fun, but the problem is deadly dosn't want to sing as it was done last time. Laughing

The listeners love the music and he plays it for them.
