Radio 2's Afternoon Show
Discussion
Has anyone actually missed having Steve Wright on in the afternoon the last few weeks?
As far as I can tell there's been more music and much less up-own-arsery first from Dale Winton and now Chris Tarrant - Chris especially playing some excellent music.
Show now seems to go: News, talk, music, talk, music, travel, music, interview, news, rather than Wrighty's news, jingle, talk, jingle, music, jingle, interview, jingle.... You get the idea.

Steve Wright is so lazy its unreal. Basically he's done the same show with the same jokes for the last twenty years. And with the music playlist on Radio 2 all he needs to do is dig an old show out, edit in a couple of new songs and the news and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Can't believe they haven't shipped him out to Radio Quiet by now.
And he's now so overweight he wears those mu-mu shirts that Homer had to wear he got really fat.

Sorry - I'm a big Evans fan. He's doing a great job in the mornings.
Dump Wright and bring in either Tarrant or even Winton, and stick a taser up Simon Mayo's arse to inject a bit of life into him.
Actually, here's another thought - re-unite the co-founders of the Shirehorses for the 2-5pm slot?

I enjoyed Norton instead of Evans - much funnier - and Winton instead of Wright - far far better music. I've liked Tarrant as a presenter since Tiswas but never really liked him on the radio and his "battle of the oldies" is just annoying though it never ceases to maze me why people even ring in.
Steve Wright was good in the 80's with Adrian the Probation Officer before it all went PC. Nowadays, he is the radio equivalent of The Sun with all those repeated ad infinitum factoids and some fraud spouting utter sh*t about starsigns and a fairly crap skip of music, usually replays from earlier shows incidentally. I mean, **** off! They should boot him off and give it to Winton who actually really knows his music.
Lisa Tarbuck always reminds me of a cleaning lady who came in and found the mike still on and she's better paired with that other guy whose name escapes me...Mark Radcliffe is it?
Alic Cooper does the morning show on Planet Rock and he's pretty good as a DJ too.

ks a lot of the time with the factoids being truly s
I wish they'd sack Steve Wright, I have to turn him off, he's so bad. I was no fan of "sucking through my teeth a hundred times" Tarrant either even if his music was better if a bit samey. On balance, sad to say, I prefer Dale Winton. Still not a fan of Evans though I can tolerate him and again, I thought Norton was better.
Seems to me that either there are no decent DJs any more or some they have need to be moved on. Even Jeremy Vine is as lightweight as you can get.

Oh God no - I like watching Norton but thought he was terrible on the radio.I used to look forward to Johnnie Walker being on when he sat in for Terry Wogan.
