Hurrahh!!!
The 'Nations Favourite' has a proper DJ covering the afternoon slot for the week!!
He's been released from his 22:30-00:00 shift & is sitting in for a holidaying Steve Wright


I bet he got some complaints this afternoon after describing a recent winner(?) of one of those singing contests as the 'bar-steward son of Dracula (& someone else)' to Sally Boazman.


All we need is the 'Ginger Whinger' to take a holiday & replace him with Stuart Maconie & my afternoon would be complete.............


Unless, they can get Johnnie Walker back 5 days a week

Can we please get immigration to stop Steve Wright coming back into the country. I cannot stand his programme in the afternoon. I even turn over to listen to the Archers and the Afternoon play instead.

Steve Wright makes me cringe. I always turn over to a local station ( owt will do ) to avoid him. How come he is still in the job ? He can't work without the "zoo" behind him... he can't even read the script properly.
He once said he would never work for a commercial station,he doesn't like the advertising.... so why does every guest have either a new book out or a new CD ?

Going against the flow but i don't think the afternoon slot is right for Mark Radcliffe.

Unlike Steve Wright he needs to be listened to.  (preferably when I'm watching TV. but that's a personal matter. It's not what he say it's the way he say it.)

At least for me afternoon radio is something I tend to dip into an out of depending on what I'm doing at the time. As for Steve Wrights holiday stand in. I'd let them give his side kick Tim Smith a spell on his own. #

The 'Nations Favourite'



I find the title amusing - not sure if it really applies any more

If you take the nation area by area the local radio stations always are the most popular, it's only because it is aired nationally and the beeb add all the Radio 2 votes together that it can claim the title

Akin to the 4x4 being the most abhorred vehicle in the country according to Radio 2 :roll:  :roll:

I don't normally get involved in this type of treads but on this occasion.....
In the past 20 years my working day has involved about 50,000 miles a year in a "roller-skate" (family car) and find that Radio 2 is the best for traffic news.
The DJ's all have there quirky good and bad points but are on the whole toleratable (is that a word).
I would tend to agree T.W. is a Irishman that thinks he is funny, K.B. is a Scotsman that doesn’t give a dam, J.V. is a bias journalist, S.W. is annoying and too scared to give T.S. a go on his own (but he does drive a Range Rover) and C.E. is just there for a bit of fun to fill 2 hours.
All things considered it is overall the best of a bad bunch but I couldn’t do better so who am I to criticise.
These opinions are personal one's and not meant malicious in any way.

Wright's OK, if a bit annoying at times, but how does Wogan still remain popular?  His "you don't have to be mad to work here but it helps" breakfast programme makes me want to top myself.

BBC 6music is the way forwards.

Ultimately I've got to agree, his finest moment was the late night slot on Radio 1 in conjunction with Marc 'The Boy Lard' Riley.

Also their musical exploits as 'The ShireHorses' were reasonably hilarious :lol:

Radcliffe is king of the airwaves, I have seen him with the Shirehorses and he was brilliant, I used to love his afternoon show on Radio 1 and never missed one 'ho ho ho, five pounds mark!!!'  Radio 2 does my box in during the day but I have just found a reason to tune in!!
