Radio 5 Live New Monthly Cycling Show

[Wesley Prickett]

Is anyone gunna watch this? It's called BeSpoke and starts tonight (Fri 2nd Nov) at 9pm. It's presented by Colin Murray.... does he know what he's talking about?

What does everyone think!?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

No, but I might listen to it!

 

[thommo74]

I was keen up until you mentioned Colin Murray.

 

[Wesley Prickett]

I know, he may ruin it, very annoying on MOTD2! Gunna give it a try though! If it's bad I might tweet in anger about it haha

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

He's a bit overly ''Me too!'' for my taste but he's usually well briefed and well produced. The quality will depend largely on the producer, but it's looking a little too ''leisure and lifestyle'' to be likely to offering anything new.

That chain, though! I reckon it's got 2 links too many...

 

[thnurg]

Thanks for the heads up. That's my MythTV box set to record it, transcode it to MP3 and dump it into the folder from which my kitchen's picture frame mounted laptop picks up my recorded radio shows.

Yeah I suppose if it's produced well then we can see past Murray! Are you on Twitter? follow me if you are and I'll follow you back... We can slate or praise the show together haha @wprickett

You still gunna watch it? Think I'll give it a go, may as well!

No, I don't twitter but I might award marks out of ten on here later.

 

[Monsieur Remings]

Not bad thus far...Ed Clancy and Joanna Rowsell being interviewed at the moment.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

So Colin Murray's contribution to cycling seems to be a ''7km'' (must actually be 7 miles) run from Canterbury to Whitstable for some greasy fish and chips! A funny thing to disclose while talking to Olympic track cyclists. Not that there's anything wrong with a little jaunt along the Crab and Winkle way, of course. Or with the fish and chips in Whitstable, for that matter.

Once a month may be too often.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Oh, I don't know. I'm quite enjoying it - some good guests that I've enjoyed listening to. The fact that I keep drifting in and out of it is more to do with my own talent for self-distraction than direness.

Alas, I missed it. What was it like?
