Where is Steve Wright in the Afternoon?

My favourite day time show is Ken Bruce, his Pop Quiz is a must at 10.30 though I never get over 12 points.

I can't remember the answers fast enough these days!

Though I did once win a packet of Ken's Shorties' in the competition he held every day, years ago, matching music titles to a news story.
[... that's when I had a life!

+1 - although I liked her as an actress and on several TV shows as a presenter.



+1 - I listen to the show on my evening cycle - or on the i-player if I'm back-shift.



+1 - for Radcliffe's knowledge, he's one of the few DJ's left that comes anywhere close to the legendary John Peel(in my opinion).

While we're on the Mark Radcliffe subject - what happened with him and Lard?

Radio 2 needs to waken up it's ideas it's starting to stagnate a bit.

What about Nick Abbot in the evenings - I loved his unedited Virgin 1215 show's in the early 90's.

Totally agree with you on the Radcliffe & Lard show i thought they were great. Bring em back?

Remember Nick Abbott he was class laughed all night up the M6 .......... those were the days.

Radio 2 seems to have got into a habit of taking on people from TV that do not transfer to radio at all well.
Tarbuck is just annoying, as is Alan Carr and that Lilly Savage bloke.

The exception is Grahame Norton who was really good on the Breakfast show. I did not expect his type of humour to work on early morning R2 but he was brill.

Evans was always good on TV but is just annoying on radio. It is like Groundhog Day with him on. The show is exactly the same day in day out. He asks the kids the same questions, he asks the idiot with the megaphone the same questions. He plays the same jingles at exactly the same time and spends the remainig time putting down his side kick lacky presenters.

Ball was a change from Ken Dot Bruce who is a bit tired now.
Tarrant is from the 1980s commercial radio era and is not suited to the comfy chair of Radio 2.

So who would we like to see taking the hot seat on a Radio 2 show.
Jo Brand was good when she stood in for Wossy (with someone else)
Julian Cleary may just be right - he is very bright and funny.
James May has too much on elsewhere.

I will try to think of some more. Any suggestions?

I'd take Chris Morris (on the hr radio 4 ) just for the pi$$ taking
