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.

Keenly influenced by certain products from Columbia

Columbia?!
Colombia, surely?

YAbU I think Sara Cox is lush. Very funny and down to earth.

Now, when it comes to rubbish DJs May I put forward Scott Mills. Just why???

There is a reason R2 looses listeners month on month … the presenters. Seems like the only qualification you need to be a DJ is to be a mediocre stand up.

As for Paddy … left Bolton as soon as he could, yet has the most exaggerated accent I’ve ever heard. We just don’t talk like that.

Some do I'm a fellow Boltonian

She wrecks me! I can’t listen to her anymore. Yes…. I know you are from fuxking Bolton! FFS just play music and stop talking shit! On the other had I do still like Zoe!

Jubileetime · 09/09/2024 18:29

I like Sara, I didn't in her girly show days. Don't like Zoe and her attendance is shocking ( not just about her mother dying but long before), if she was in a normal job, I'm sure she would be managed out!

I've never understood the point of Paddy 🙄

Soonenough · 09/09/2024 18:23

It's not the accent of Sara Cox that grates on me personally. It is the hoarse throaty sound of her voice , like she needs to cough or clear her throat. Still I am sure she is not bothered what I think. Good for her to get paid to talk shite .

I often wonder if people are listening to the same Sara Cox as me - I love her!

I've never heard of her, so googled- Her voice just sounds Northern English, and typical of a ''Radio 2'' light radio show, where music is twittering away in the background.

bridgetreilly · 09/09/2024 18:18

I don’t mind Sara in small doses but I have to switch Scott Mills off instantly. He’s just utterly inane. Dim and dull in equal measure.

HesterRoon · 09/09/2024 18:17

Can’t believe Radio 2 replaced the great Chris Evans with Zoe Ball. I don’t mind Sara Cox-but she’s better on TV. I really enjoyed the dating show with all the slightly awkward farmers. She was warm and funny.

Saltedbutter · 09/09/2024 17:37

Whereabouts are you from? I’m curious if it’s mainly Southern people that may find her voice an irritation!

Show quote history

Do live in SE now but have lived all over including Manchester. It's not the accent although can't stand listening to Paddy McGuinness but love Vernon, it's the tone.

Me too! I think she is quite under-rated as a broadcaster.

Her mum died, so she's taking time off.

Aww that's 😢 sad

Doggymummar · 09/09/2024 17:42

Where is Zoe ball? It's been some man for the past few weeks. He's very name droppy. Yesterday when I was with Rylan, dinner with Michael Ball tonight, are you seeing Kylie on Wednesday, shut up and play a song

Edited

OMG Zoe Ball does my head in ... calls herself Zo, she's only got a three lettered name ffs and says eerrrrrrr every other word, grrrr 😡

I'm not massively keen on her show, with the constant paper rustling and the banging on about being old (she's not).

I don't listen now.

I am in awe of her earning circa £1 million a year for it though...

NerrSnerr · 09/09/2024 17:54

I really like her show, I love Zoe, Vernon and Scott too. I was sad when Ken left but greatest hits radio is very samey so stayed with radio 2.

I'm surprised no one has said that Radio 2 should be giving Gary Davies a full time slot- he is one that annoys me with the oooh Gary Davies

fiorentina · 09/09/2024 17:51

I like her a lot but find her radio show a bit much sometimes compared to presenting on TV.

Iamawomandontcallmeanythingelse · 09/09/2024 17:49

Radio X is what Radio 2 wants to be.

Normandy144 · 09/09/2024 17:49

I really Sara. Also love Vernon and really like Scott Mills. Took me a while to warm to him as I wasn't a radio 1 listener when he was there but I have really come to like him. Probably like Zoe the least out of all of them and am enjoying Scott sitting in for her. I also like OJ Borg too. I thought I would miss Ken but I really don't. Can't stand commercial radio.

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