Danny Baker's London radio show cancelled.
Discussion
This might be of limited interest but I was shocked to switch on Danny Baker's show to find out his dimwit bosses are giving him the boot. He found out just before today's show and has decided to leave as of this afternoon.
To say he hasn't taken it lying down would be an understatement.
If anyone wants to hear the show I guess it will be on the iplayer as of tomorrow.
GLR used to be fantastic, it's been going downhill for years since the rebranding and Danny's show is the only thing on the station I have listened to for a very long time.
Sad news.

It's a really bad decision. Rob Brydon summed it up brilliantly. "Glad that BBC are axing Danny Baker's daily radio show. I've had it up to here with his wit, warmth and originality."
I expect it'll be replaced with someone who fits in to the BBC better, and become humourless and dull. Does Matt Baker have a radio show?
I emailed LBC.
Me: Get Danny Baker!
LBC: I know!
We can but hope.

Worst decision of a great many bad decisions that are going on across the BBC at the minute (and I don't mean Saville and co).
The best, most original broadcaster there is and they manage to f
k it up? What is going on?

he's great on r5 live each saturday morning, irreverent but great all the same
Love it when I catch his show on a Saturday, he's about the last entertaining presenter going. Simon Mayo is about the only other person I can think of who really has a great show at the moment. Link to Danny's last show.

"English as tuppence, changing yet changeless as canal water, nestling in green nowhere, armoured and effete, bold flag-bearer, lotus-fed Miss Havishambling opsimath and eremite, feudal still, reactionary Rawlinson End."
Why would you axe one of the most innovative, entertaining and imaginative broadcasters of the last twenty years?A monumentally stupid decision by the BBC.

Quite true.
