You're just tempting fate saying things like that....

Couldnt they get Janey Lee Grace to do it. She used to be good at reading out text and email messages in the middle of the night.

Both Tim Smith and Janey Lee Grace are on Christmas leave. I had no idea Pete Mitchell had been ill. Colin Berry must have been a last minute replacement due to short notice over the festive period.
Get well soon, Pete!  |

Tim Smith did midnight - 2am on Radio Oxford on Boxing Day so he is obviously in big demand over the holidays.

Really? A 2-hour show? WOW! He MUST be popular in Oxford!
Maybe he hosts "The Perfumed Garden"? |

Scott-Iistened to the Tim Smith show on Radio Oxford.
I have to say without Steve Wright in the same studio the show was not too bad.
Perhaps Tim wants to break free from Steve Wright a little and be his own man. |

Mark,
I don't mind Tim Smith solo but he does grate on my after a while. If he was to have his own show on Radio 2 then I imagine it would be an overnight one. But I doubt he would ever be a ratings success! |

Well, I'm listening to CB standing in for PM at the last minute on 'Listen Again' - he started well: "some great music, like this from Steps..."

Not many of the err'ss. Well Newsreaders shouldn't do that. I like someone asking him " Why do all newreaders called after food names" His reply they try employ names of food to make it different. |

"Listen Again" came up with a General Error about 45 minutes into CB's sit-in (although that may have had something to do with the fact that I was trying to play "Il-2 Sturmovik: 1946" at the same time on the PC as well....!
Steps must have been an aborration: the playlist improved after that.
I will always think of him now as "Colin <sharp intake of breath> Berry <sharp intake of breath>".... it was becoming a little off-putting after a while.
