AIBU to find Liza Tarbuck annoying ?

I stumbled across her Radio 2 programme earlier this evening whilst exploring the various stations. I didn't know who it was until she mentioned her own name. Admittedly she did play some decent music but managed to talk utter drivel between every record. I didn't think it was possible to have access to a bottomless pit of verbal vacuous nonsense but evidently it is. I'm fully prepared to be told that lots of people like her and that's her broadcasting style and I am therefore BU. I don't think I'll be tuning in again.

For context, I was listening to Clive Anderson on Radio 4 beforehand and he can be cringeworthy at times. But nothing like Liza Tarbuck. BTW, does she put that voice on or is it her normal speech?

I can’t listen to her show either. I am sure she is a lovely person and maybe I would love her on the TV. I dislike disliking DJs for no apparent reason but some I just can’t do, including most of Saturday Radio 2.

I cannot BEAR her on that radio show. She makes me grind my teeth with cringe and frustration.

Squidthing · 13/01/2024 21:52

I absolutely adore her - clever, hilariously funny and warm.

Oh no, I love Liza Tarbuck. Always have from Watching like the poster above. I think she’s really warm and witty.

Absolutely love Liza Tarbuck, she was my favourite Taskmaster contestant ever, and her show us the best thing on Radio 2. Would love to be her mate 😊

Cotswoldbee · 13/01/2024 21:45

She is a goddess with a wicked witt.
Absolutely love her. 😂

I like her show too, funny. Makes me laugh out loud. Bonkers

Ukholidaysaregreat · 13/01/2024 21:42

OMG! I love Liza Tarbuck ! Proper look forward to her show every week! Hilarious and feel good.

doubleshotcappuccino · 13/01/2024 21:40

She's hilarious - listen to her on catch up

elgreco · 13/01/2024 21:39

She

He was one of the best ever taskmaster contestants.

AloeNora · 13/01/2024 21:38

We love her. It’s such a comforting show. Love listening on journeys and when snuggled up at home for the evening.

@TinyRebel I cannot bear Alan Carr. He squeezes every last ounce out of the camp card.

Ah I love Alan. He makes me laugh and he seems so warm.

Listened to her in Claire in the Community...she was really funny

Seashor · 13/01/2024 21:33

I bloody love her show, it’s got a huge, loyal following and I’m one of them.

DonnasShrugaleros · 13/01/2024 21:30

It's one of the only radio 2 shows I listen to, I love how bonkers it is and find it really uplifting. I also like it when Shaun Keaveney sits in for her.

DavidBattenburgh · 13/01/2024 21:26

I'm a fan and then she's followed by sounds of the 80's - a perfect Saturday night - if it wasn't for the tax return Envy

Bigearringsbigsmile · 13/01/2024 21:05

She mentioned micro dosing on mushrooms once so I think she is high

Tell me you don't understand what micro-dosing is...

I like her, but I can also see how her style is irritating, it can come across quite false but as far as I know (from people who know her personally), she is like that all the time pretty much.

Coffeeandcatsforlife · 13/01/2024 21:22

Oh I absolutely love her! She was on Taskmaster and I just loved her. Absolutely lovely, eccentric woman. I’d love her as a mate.

YANBU. I can’t listen to her at all - it has to go off. Have a similar reaction to Alan Carr.

NahHumBrag · 13/01/2024 21:17

I also love her radio show. Brilliant Saturday radio - combo of great music and great presenter. I think she’s awesome.

lljkk · 13/01/2024 21:17

I dash to radio to turn off if it's LT.

YABVU Liza's show is now the only Radio 2 show I bother tuning in for. I love her.

Same here! I think she’s hilarious and she was the first woman to talk about “menopausal madness” on any show, so good for her I say. She plays great music too.

DryIce · 13/01/2024 21:14

I have never heard her show, but I will always love her for giving me the hops scene in Taskmaster
