Zoe Ball is standing in for Ken Bruce - unfortunately
I don't know why BBC stick with some prssenters who were obviously bad choices from the start - Zoe Ball is similar to many in that she is obviously trying (too hard) to sound bright and sparkly in the morning, and is totally phoney. Bring back Ken.
I now depart to R4 when Vine is on. He sounds like the local creepy vicar - all mealy mouthed and insincere. Unfortunatley I now have to change the dial when ZB is on as well...
I can just about remember when Jimmy Young ran the show, and you got really intelligent debate. As soon as they turned into a phone-in (rather than just reading out selected, informed comments) it went downhill - if I wanted to hear (mostly) ignorant, people ranting, I'd stand at my local bus stop.
Vine is just a tabloid muckracker with a BBC accent - they obviously choose loud=mouthed, opinionated (but uninformed) people to go on air, just so they can get a bit of shouting going. Some fool thinks that makes for 'stimulating' listening that will increase audience share - in fact, the sensible audience learn nothing, and just move on.
