Desmond Carrington - Radio 2

Anyone else a fan?
I love his show and often listen to the same programme two or three times a week.

I find he sounds like a listed building.

I find it hard to believe that anyone that posh-sounding can talk at all - there must be a danger that when his mouth opens, his sphincter muscles will tighten just a little too far, and with a loud twang, one will vanish inside the other.

[hc4361]

So cruel, andy-hughes. I don't think he speaks posh, just properly.
I remember him on the tv series Emergency Ward 10.

It was intended to be light-hearted - if my humour was lost in the translation of print without the benefit of speech inlfection and facial expression, then my apologies, I did not intend to upset you.

I do think you have to agree, that his accent could only be decrtibed as 'posh' - but that is certainly not a bad thing.

[andy-hughes]

doc, you do seem to be in a fesity mood today - has the weekend downpour put a crimp in your day?

[hc4361]

He's 85 you know!
I too was being light hearted, andy. :)

He plays music I haven't heard for years, brings back memories. Gives good information about songs, particularly the risque old ones. I don't like all the music but it makes a nice change from the usual playlists.

[andy-hughes]

A fair point well made hc4361 - doc, I'll see you back on the 'Catholics' thread!!

Love his show and also love David Jacobs.
