Radio 2 drivetime - another show ruined
Discussion
I've only just caught up with the new format as I've not been commuting by car recently. From the little I've heard it just doesn't work. They just seem to be reading alternate lines from a script, rather than having a rapport.
If they did it to improve the show they have failed (it was fine). If they did it for PC reasons then they should have just replaced a different male DJ with a woman.
If I was Simon Mayo I would be dusting off the CV.

Was it?
A 'victory' over whom and what?

Bit of a kick in the teeth for him too given he has successfully fronted that show for 8 years - yet she is immediately given top billing.If I was Simon Mayo I would be dusting off the CV.
If Simon and Jo are being paid the same (as the article says), does that mean that Simon has taken a 50% pay cut or are the licence payers paying twice as much for the drive time show?
It is really hard to see what Jo brings to the show (apart from most importantly, apparently, a uterus).

Lisa Tarbuck is an exellent presenter. Relevant, funny, great music and good rapore.
Oh god no - if I have to listen to one more sentence where she puts on a fake laugh whilst talking at the same time - it'll top myself.+1 for what has happened to Paul Jones blues on a monday night too....what qualifies "right on" cerys matthews over Paul Jones?
as for drivetime... i miss matt and nigel barden - the confessions aren't the same even though they are the same if you get my drift.... i'll keep listening and give it time but i'm not overly impressed so far
