I forgot a complete no no/turkey for me is The Organist Entertains.

Sorry Nigel this show doesn't not entertain me in the slightest.

Still each to their own I guess.

The Organist Entertains. Never heard of it before.
Will now listen to this as the title is unreal.
Are you sure it's not on TV at all, or on a strange channel.
No, I won't go further as to costs per hour etc.

- Gambo on a good day, although I've gone off his show a bit recently

Not so keen on:
- Sunday Love Songs
- The Weekender
- Dermot O'Leary, Mo Dutta or Pete Mitchell

Almost forty years since it started, and still no-one's realised it's on - that must be how it's survived the purges!

It's also about time they changed the format of the lunchtime show, isn't most of this topical stuff covered by FiveLive.
