I thought it was quite a nice article.

As for slow news day, it was in the magazine not on the front page Rolling Eyes Any excuse to have a go at Chris it seems.

I agree.

Far too many people putting the boot into Evans unnecessarily.

Appreciate he is not everyone's cup of tea but there are worse presenters than Chris around.

I'll look forward to seeing him on the One show flogging it, and advertising it , and promoting signings, just like TW does on the Breakfast show Rolling Eyes

I thought he was when Adrian was taking a break? He will have enough time to do evening TV now. Very Happy Evans Chat Show? Laughing

Shocked What a hideous thought....

I was thinking.. has Johnnie Walker ever done a TV chat show? I don't think he has, but I think he'd be good at it.

Not a great article, really. There was hardly any mention of him at R2, and we didn't learn a lot more about him. Still, nice pictures of his house Cool

I thought the article was quite interesting, but i agree that reading that one would hardly be aware that Chris has been doing the R2 drivetime show over the past few years

Suggests to me that the R2 Drivetime show was/is never that important to Chris, it's just a stepping stone to British Radio Domination Evil or Very Mad

Johnnie participated in the Radio 5 live commentary on F1 practice sessions. He was very good, very knowledgeable and kept bringing the other commentators back to focus on the sport and not on whatever politics were blighting the sport at that time. I was surprised they've not invited him back.
