The nature of my work means I have R2 on all day, which can be both good and bad. One of the low points is Steve Wright, I just think he's a to$$er.

Recently though Mark Radcliffe has been doing it and he is a properly funny bloke, as license payers we should be able to vote people off I reckon; Radcliffe would get mine for this slot!

Does anyone else share this veiw....??

ps...I would also happily "end" Moyles, the fat, unfunny eejit.

I would happily round up the every presenter on Radio 2, send them off to Belsen, put them in a gas chamber and release the gas myself. All except Jeremy Vine, who would be singled out for special torture inflicted by me for many months, then he too would be for the chamber.
biggrin Harsh, but fair.

Also agree re. Chris "the c0nt" Evans....pity he's the pick of a bad bunch frown

Chris Evans used to have the best radio show bar none when he did radio 1 breakfast in the 90's, he really needs his sycophants around him to make his show good again, but that's not really r2 is it? leave off writey, he is the living embodiment of anondyne, nothing controversial, its all fluffy bunny rabbits, and real lemonade, if you want hard hitting, annoy mike tyson, its easy listening, laid back gentle humour, although i am sur mark radcliffe is better.

please don't diss moyles on r1, he can be very funny, he's a very good radio host, acerbic, a bit of a bd, sometimes controversial, which is exactly what steve writght is not, but you don't like him either ...? in summary, if you like none of the above - you are over 40, start listening to talksport for opinion on all sports but mostly fking football. rolleyes
I'm 31 and have no interest in sport whatsoever.

Why not diss Moyles? I'm allowed to, I'm from Leeds so I can. And, this is the internet where people display random, groundless attacks on people they don't know, you to$$er biggrin

I honestly have never listened/viewed Moyles without thinking his humour was anything but puerile, shouty nonesense.

Anyway it seems my opinion is a fairly popular one. Radcliffe is just better than Wrighty, we don't "love the show" mate, change it or fk off IMO.

Another radio question; the recent listening figures were published for the BBC how do they gather data from the listening public as to who's listening to what, how do they find out??

Bear in mind my original post was an observation on the vast improvement over the regular daytime R2 slot not a general whinge about DJ's.

We would, actually, be much worse off without em!!
