I have been travelling about much of this week, and it hasd been a delight to have Radio 2 on from approx 2pm until 5pm+.

For me Alice Richardson and Stuart Maconie have done sterling work. Even the interviews are live!

Much to a chorus of disapproval, I commend these 2 for the permanent spot in this period.

Nice note.

Of course Richard Allinson should be promoted to take over say Steve Wright's Big Show.

Sadly Lesley Douglas does NOT agree-as far as SM is concerned I feel he is more suited to late time radio imho.

No doubt others will disagree.

Allinson rocks-you bet he does.

Completely agree Mark. Richard has shown how to do a three hour afternoon show properly. No shouty-shouty, no jabbering syncophants, no colossal ego.

If only he could replace the the cringing mediocrity that is the Eighties Essex Boy

If only what we had this week could be the permanent afternoon schedule.

It's been a real treat to have them both this week.

Could not agree more Helen.

The afternoon combination of Richard Allinson followed by Stuart Maconie is just fantatic-should be made a permanent arrangement.

Even had RA on in place of Mo this morning - made my drive into work more bearable! Smile
