to think that Richard Bacon is knob of the highest order???

[00100001]

OK a bit of a delayed reaction here, but a few weeks ago he covered for Simon Mayo on drive time Radio 2.

And he just came across as a bit of twat generally.

all a bit "I'm fucking awesome, and i'm gonna let you know it"

[ilove]

Yes!!! I thought exactly the same thing!

[Princecharlesfirstwife]

YANBU

[Normandy144]

YABU he's hilarious!

[00100001]

just take the first few seconds of the show "basically, you're all fucking idiots and I'm hilarious"*


*I'm paraphrasing.

[massivearse]

Nah he's reet is Richard.

A different league to that dickwad Evans.

[iremembericod]

I saw him on a train recently and he was fit

[BeautyQueenFromMars]

Ooh, I'd forgotten about Richard Bacon. I used to watch him on that tv programme he did. Big Breakfast was it? He's always been a bit full of himself.

[Floralnomad]

YANBU , he took over from Simon Mayo on 5 live a few years back and he was terrible , didn't matter who he interviewed the conversation always ended up revolving around him .

[WordGetsAround]

I thought no one else had noticed!! What a twat - he is beyond full of himself. Far more than Chris Evans - and that is saying something!!

[00100001]

Yy Words

[haggisaggis]

I stopped listening when he was on. It was dreadful.

[MummaGiles]

Going to go against the consensus here but I really rate Richard Bacon, I ised to love his late night programme on 5Live back in the day. And Tony Livesy for that matter, he's great too.

[Shelby1981]

can't bear him!!!

[BertrandRussell]

I've never forgiven Radio 5 for replacing Simon May with him.

Interesting that he's back locumming on the BBC after all his "take America by storm" talk...........

[wanderings]

No one mention blue peter, of course.

[SheSparkles]

YANBU all he spoke about was himself and how he was shmoozing with slebs in the US

[ApocalypseNowt]

Didn't hear that but I did hear an interview he did on Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre podcast this year.

I thought he came across alright, was quite funny and self aware.

[00100001]

goodness yes sparkles! It's all like "yeah, I'm mates with X" and "when I was in this exclusive members only club, I met so and so, and now we're best buds"

annoying.

[supersoftcuddlytoys]

I agree, Bacon's a knob. I heard him trying to defend this man on his radio show who had many children being debated by a woman who is worried about over population. He just couldn't, he was reaching for words and trying to be all philosophical. What a pillock!

[Itslikeyoureadmymind]

You are so nbu! I hate him. I love Simon Mayo and really enjoy my drive home from work, then I turn on the radio and wank bucket himself is there, talking about how amazed he was to meet Sam Cam...

[Musicinthe00ssucks]

I once saw him driving around Archway in a convertible like he fucking owned it (just after his Blue Peter nose candy scandal) he comes across like an arrogant twat.

[00100001]

I'm pleased to have found my fellow bacon-haters

[Queenbean]

He got sacked from Blue Peter for being caught taking coke didn't he?

[OhTheRoses]

I thought you meant the Norfolk MP

[DramaAlpaca]

He had to make a public apology on TV after he got sacked from Blue Peter.
