is it just me (probably)? but does Steve wright bug the hell out of anyone else? too many reasons to go into, talks at the end/begining/middle of records, singing to the lyrics, adding his own (stupid), cant say 'WWW' properly instead of DOUBLE U, he says DUBBA YA, i know i'm being picky and i can always change the station, but too many adverts on local stations............ok back in my box. x

Saying "Champeeen" or "Champnio" instead of champion is annoying. Luckily I miss the Steve Wright show these days.

[andy-hughes]

I really really like him. Always have. He's bright, witty, and very intelligent, and I like the interaction with the rest of his team.

I know radio is highly subjective - some of my friends whose opinions I would respect in all other areas think Russell Brand is worth giving airtime to (or even air!) so it is a matter of personal taste.

[curlyperm]

eyah andy your right, and i wouldnt give russell brand air if he was turning blue!!! and not even gonna go down the (fat git) chris moyles road x

Of course everyone knows how annoying SW is. It's even referred to in this question from the BBC entrance test for new employees :-)

"Place the following in order of size:
a) Steve Wright's ego ;
b) Jonathon Ross's vanity ;
c) Chris Evans's mouth ;
d) Terry Wogan's holiday entitlement ;
e) Russell Brand's ability to irritate"

I hate his stupid fake mid-Atlantic accent, his feeble toothbrush moustache, his "posse", and the fact that he's always on when I try to find an alternative to Radio 4. He's R2's last bastion of Smashie & Nicey-dom.
Couldn't comment on the content of his show as I always switch it off as soon as I hear him speak.
I remember him presenting an award at The Brits once, and embarrassing a whole room of music biz execs by saying "Home taping is killing music". @ss-kisser.

I used to like Steve Wright when he was on Radio 1 and I was in my teens (shows how long he's been going), but I think I've grown out of him. Some of his guests are good, but much of the banter with his, ahem, "posse" makes him sound a bit, well, thick.

One more thing. Whenever I've flicked on the radio and caught the end of the show, I always hear the words "all material is copyright". Who on Earth would want to nick it? Actually, having heard some of the local commercial station DJs, don't answer that...

[curlyperm]

thanks all! not just me then? : ) it was on in the car yesterday (cos sometimes like to see who he's got on) thats when they can get a word in, and i caught that ANNOYING jingle he's got, which is a woman in opera-mode oh my god how irritating is that?
