Radio 2

[quizzywig]

Chris Evans has gone again - he didn't warn me and now the Madeley is on all week so the radio is off!

[horselady]

Same here!

[cupid04]

He is on Who do you think you are this week. I gather you wont be watching?

[didoatwork]

Madeley drives me insane!

[mickrog]

i have often wondered who Madeley thought he was....apart from a toyboy.

[crisgal]

i HATE him!

[crisgal]

and that patrick Snag who is on for steve wright. I wonder what the spell check will call him, instead of a Snag?

[kinkajou2]

He"s lost without Judy!

[andy-hughes]

He is very bland - some people like that.

Look on the bright side - we could have Richard Allinson - his shows are so warm and wet you could bath a baby in them!

[Uriah Heep]

And here

[EvianBaby]

Can't stand Madeley either. He, on the other hand thinks he is wonderful.

This morning I heard him say, "I say 'whatever' in an ironic way, like David Walliams". eeuugghhh, don't compare yourself to someone who is actually funny. Ali G was bad enough!

At least Patrick Kielty is better than the usual oaf they get to replace Steve Wright.

[andy-hughes]

EvianBaby - that's not saying much is it!

It always seems an irony that the major qualification to be a radio presenter is to have a personality, and the BBC insists on employing people who don;t have one - Allinson - or people who you would move away from if you stood next to them in a pub - Kielty / Tarrant / Norton / Carr and so on.

[crisgal]

i agree wholeheartedly with that Andy. I heard Richard Allinson interview Lee Mack a while back.
I think it's the only time a radio programme has actually made me cringe. He has absolutely no sense of humour and was more or less saying: 'if you're a comic, make me laugh now' over and over.
He was very disrespectful and downright rude. I was amazed that Lee didn't smack him.
i would have!

[EvianBaby]

Yes Andy, I should have said 'marginally better'. My brother recently had an evening drinking with Kielty and Evans and assures me they are both jolly good blokes. I do wish that would come over on the radio more. I find them, along with most the names you mention below grate on me highly - though I can just about put up with Evans.

However I do take acception to you adding Alan Carr in your list. I do find the show he does with Mel on a Saturday quite funny.

[andy-hughes]

Yes, I know, people have taken me to task over my dislike of the endless hysterical and overwrought personality - but honestly, nothing is that funny, unless you are on some drug or other!

[quizzywig]

well, glad I'm not the only one who can't stand the Madeley. Just don't get me started on the Allinson or the Feltz or even a woman called Lynn Parsons who has on occasion stood in for Zoe Ball (just about tolerable) on saturday mornings!

[andy-hughes]

Lynn Parsons is the female equivalent of Allinson.

If the BBC want a holding pattern in a regular show - someone who will not cause any controversry or change anything - they bring these two in, because they are just about one step away from having no presenter at all, and simply playing music - which come to think of it ....

[EvianBaby]

Zoe Ball is no better.

All she ever talks about is her husband and the fact she lives in Brighton. And everything is 'fantastic'. ggrrr.

[crisgal]

and erm every other erm word is erm....
