Page 10 | Sara Cox please just stop!!!

Sara is an intelligent woman who likes a laugh and understands her time slot .

greengreyblue · 10/09/2024 21:45

I find JV incredibly naive and ignorant at times. He really is a fool at times and it’s not supposed to be a comedy slot.

Scammersarescum · 10/09/2024 21:36

Gosh Sara Cox and Lisa Tarbuck getting a kicking this evening.

I wonder what other female celebrity will be next to suffer a barrage of abuse.

If you don't like them don't listen, but it's a good thing we have female presenters.

greglet · 10/09/2024 21:33

Oh god I can't stand Jeremy Vine, but mostly it's because I find most members of the public intolerably stupid (I am aware this is unfair) and spend the entire show cringing in anticipation of the next blunder or inanity.

Justnevergetsthere · 10/09/2024 21:27

I think she's wonderful. Full of warmth and fun. She has such a natural way with people.

RaraRachael · 10/09/2024 20:33

I never got the major love for Ken Bruce so wasn't bothered when he left.
I did enjoy Simon Mayo's show but can't be faffed finding his new station.

abracadabra1980 · 10/09/2024 20:15

Her accent does my head in, as does her irritating articulation on just about anything during her show. How the f do people listen/much so less, like the whole show. I only end up with it as I do late shift at work and it's already on.

Slothsandspiderman · 10/09/2024 20:12

I love her! She’s funny, kind and compassionate to all her listeners and callers.
My hubby works away a bit, whilst I’m usually run ragged with the kids and dog - I put her on and feel like my mate has popped round for a brew.

I've heard her put on a weird voice and repeatedly say, 20+ times, Scooby Dooby Doo in said weird voice. Turned off and 10 minutes later went into a shop that had Radio 2 on and she was still doing it. FFS she's paid a fortune for that nonsense and we're paying through the licence fee.

I can't listen to her, she does that stupid voice and it gets on my waz. Can't bear Zoe Ball either. Generally awful DJs on R2 these days and except for Johnnie Walker, I no longer listen.

HelenWheels · 10/09/2024 19:50

oh i liked michael ball at 11 so that is a shame.

Boysgrownbutstillathome · 10/09/2024 19:47

I enjoy listening to Sara Cox when I drive my son to football training on Friday evenings but when I go to pick him up it's Michelle Visage. I don't like the music she plays, her " Saved by Michelle" songs should stay lost in the past where they belong and why does she only seem interested in her gay listeners?

AutumnLeaves1990 · 10/09/2024 19:15

I don't mind her at all but not keen on the hatched/matched/dispatched segment.

Nagatha · 10/09/2024 09:45

She puts on the most annoying babyish voice. I think she does it to make herself seem kind of soft and welcoming but it’s just so cringey.

This

All her Fank oo vay much
Fucking foghorns and wowowowowow

I've moved to greatest hits. Simon mayo is like a warm comfortable blanket

Then back over for Jo Whiley

Vernon has been a revelation. And OJ and ooh Garry Davies are both seriously underused

BeardofHagrid · 10/09/2024 19:11

What is it with BBC radio presenters… I listen to R1 in the mornings when I’m busy doing things and the number of times I have to stop what I’m doing and turn it off, because Greg James will not stop repeating some unfunny saying, is unfathomable. It’s worse than CBBC most of the time.

Dorisbonson · 09/09/2024 17:21

Keenly influenced by certain products from Columbia

Are you saying she uses coke live on air?

mightyducks · 10/09/2024 19:11

Completely agree , I can’t deal with the weird put on voices either! As a Bolton girl I really want to like her but I just can’t stand it! every time she’s on I turn over the radio

RaraRachael · 10/09/2024 19:08

piefacedClique · 10/09/2024 06:59

Oh Christ! Liza tarbuck…. She’s a whole new stratosphere of annoying. Like nails on a blackboard

I'm with you. Probably the only presenter I have to switch off.

I don't mind Sara Cox. I liked Michael Ball's 11am show but now they've given it to Paddy and moved him to Steve Wright's soppy love songs - Why?

I loved Paul O'Grady and really like Rylan.

I just got in the car, put on the radio and R2 was on. Sara did the Scooby Dooby Doo thing and then some unintelligible noises that I assume are an impression of Scooby Doo. So it's a new thing on her show I imagine.

Imagine it probably was Scooby-do based on the evidence OP. She often talks nonsense - most listeners either like it or turn over. Personally I think she’s lovely. Ditto Scott Mills although Jo Wiley is my favourite.

Bit worried about Zoe.

I love Romesh, Liza and am really enjoying DJ Spoony sitting in for Scott Mills in the afternoon. I also like Amol Rajan when he makes an appearance. I miss Claudia and Paul O'Grady so much, they were my favourite two shows of the week.

I'm fine with Sarah Cox and Zoe and Vernon, quite like but don't lurve.

Jo Whiley sometimes, but really cringe through her sycophantic interviews with bands and Paul Weller. She seems to have Paul Weller on every other week!

Not keen on Rylan, Scott Mills or Jeremy Vine - but I think with Jezza it's mainly that he does a phone-in and I find them pretty intolerable.

I can't bear Gary Davies and yet so many on these threads seem to like him!

Everyone's different - funny eh?

mamaandbabas · 10/09/2024 18:31

I like her, but her "jokes" on the programme Between The Covers are dire and spoil the programme for me.

Single50something · 10/09/2024 18:20

RhubarbStrawberry · 09/09/2024 19:00

Why did she keep saying Scooby Doo? Was it some sort of game? Surely there was a reason for it? I saw her on Back in Time for School (i think it was her) and she was good.

Yea it's just for a phone in game. They do different phrases to show.people listening
I loved Back.in Time for Tea ;)

Demonhunter · 09/09/2024 17:46

@BogRollBOGOF oh Mills 😬 I've emailed Radio 2 on a few occasions asking for Spoony to permanently replace him!

Yes I love Spoony and would much rather listen to him than Scott daily :)

Radionowhere · 10/09/2024 17:49

I love her! Wish she was my friend. Takes all sorts OP

Cactusmad · 10/09/2024 17:44

Just been listening to Sara cox , love her northern accent. Usually listen to radio 4 but put her on at teatime in the car . Love the teatime bit with Bobby , nice escapism.
