Exceptional In The 80s

Richard Allinson celebrates the music of the Eighties in this special Bank Holiday Monday show, featuring a selection of one-hit wonders, a featured classic album from the decade, music from the movies of the Eighties and the big hits of the era.

We don't get many shows about the 80's on Two.

Allinson Rocks -you bet he does.

For those amongst you who do not tune in to the must listen/best radio programme of the week this upcoming show/format is maybe a taster for you re Allinson's Albums which goes out every Saturday/Sunday on various BBC local stations.

Tune in to this show-you will not be disappointed I feel sure.

In almost all cases when Allinson is depping he makes the show more listenable. That is especially true (in my very 'umble opinion, m'lud) at Drivetime Weekdays.

Yes Richard Allinson is good at hosting most shows on Radio 2. Drivetime would be his home. Only if he was offered it. Very Happy

True, Mark O, there aren't many 80s shows on 2, but I think it's something that will gradually creep in, like they've done with that 'Dance season'. Give it a couple of years, and there could be Sounds of the 80s?!

Yes I think we all know your views on RA-you must have posted over 100 plus threads saying the same thing over and over again.

As for RA standing in I've rested my case as well.

I'm in favour of it. It's so nice to listen to a person who's (a) intelligent, (b) is very knowledgeable about the music he plays and (c) doesn't talk loudly and treat me like an idiot when the mic's open.

Yes, I like that Allinson bloke.
