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?

It makes me cringe, I have to turn it off immediately.

When she used to cover the Early Breakfast Show I had to turn her off. Dreadful.

in complete agreement, just awful on the radio

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

Yes, I watched the Taskmaster she was in recently on Netflix and she was great.

PickAChew · 13/01/2024 21:08

She was hilarious on Taskmaster but I can't stand her radio show.

TheTecknician · 13/01/2024 21:08

Not only me. Thank goodness.

YANBU - I find both her and Liz Kershaw are v hard to listen to.

Chasingsquirrels · 13/01/2024 21:07

Omg I last about 10 mins then have to turn it off!

I loved her on Taskmaster.

JimmyGrimble · 13/01/2024 21:06

I think she’s lovely. Very warm and funny. I enjoy her show.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 13/01/2024 21:05

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

I used to like her in Watching (well, not her so much but the show in general) but that's about 300 years ago now.

Always sounds like she is 3 sheets to the wind to me
