 |
|
I usually tune into radio 2's mornings intermitently from about 6.30 till 8 when i leave for work. i mostly enjoy Sarah k's show. Much of the music on terry Wogan is good, but i find his presentation style at that time ofthe morning a bit in your face
I enjoyed Johnny Walkers stand in for Tel while he was away.
What does anyone else think? |

| I like that nice Mr. Walker, too, but I wish Alan Deadlycote was in the programme rather less. |

| Johnnie would be the ideal replacement if Tel retires. I think the BBC would be looking for a younger person? Evans or even Zoe Ball? ( Well thats debatable as she's got a baby on the way ) At least in the mean time we can enjoy the job sharing. JW back at the end of August. |

You've obviously never listened to just about any other popular-music-based breakfast programme in the land, then.
Stick a pin in the list of commercial stations, or try a minute of Moyles, then thank goodness for Terry Wogan.

I'd like to see Simon Mayo given a chance at standing in for STW. It would be interesting to see how he would take the role.

Oh no. Simon Mayo is way too clinical, too perfect, too fabricated, like a municipal building, all very clean and shiny but not very inspiring. It's amost like he's computer generated.

He's a BBC man through-and-through, he's done it before, and if he wants it, and they ask him, I'm sure it will be his.
Having listened to him a few times recently, he's not quite Mr Perfection, but he is quite patronising, almost arrogant. I'm not sure that I want a headmaster talking to me over my cornflakes.

Oh no, that wouldn't do at all. I suggest Sarah gets an extra half hour then Ken can start at 8. Four hours? No problem

Oh, I totally agree. I wouldn't put up with the goings on on most stations at breakfast (though magic is ok), & certainly NOT Moyles!
At least tel plays some good music! |

Indeed, Tel is a shining example compared to most of the "competition", especially locally.

Yes, I go along with that. I caught TW for about 10 minutes this morning and I just can't help feeling that much as I like the guy the show just sounds so lethargic. Well, the bit I heard was anyhow.
