I bloody hope it's Sara Cox - I love her!

Tbf Sara is quite a bit like that too. Though more difficult to compare with Sir Terry. I can't quite believe it's been so long since he did the Breakfast Show. Seems like yesterday, but then I grew up with him on the radio in the 70s.

I still think of Burly Chassis when I hear Shirley Bassett's name.....

wowfudge · 05/09/2018 09:53

Bassey - not Bassett

Oh Jo brand would be good. Nice soft voice to start the day and she's funny too! Or dawn french?

billysboy · 05/09/2018 09:58

who ever it is I hope they make them do the show by themselves so no hangers on like vassos, moira etc
Steve wright is the worst offender for this with cf tim smith who is so sycophantic and up his arse
Your the presenter , you present how hard can it be ?
I would love Sara Cox to get it and Gary Davies to get the afternoon slot

Whisky2014 · 05/09/2018 09:59

If it is sara cox im never listening to r2 ever again.

wowfudge · 05/09/2018 10:17

Why Whisky - what's your objection to her?

Cordillera · 05/09/2018 10:20

I also can't stand Sara Cox, OTT waffley and insincere.
I would love Sue Perkins, with or without Mel.
Of established R2 people Trevor Nelson would be my preference, with a good female alongside.

All I remember of Coxy was that awful show she hosted in the 90s all out to shock etc and I just don''t see her appeal tbh .

Trenzalor · 05/09/2018 11:28

I hope it’s Sara Cox; I love it when Evans is away and she covers.

Whisky2014 · 05/09/2018 11:29

Yeh she waffles, she tells very long and absolutely BORING stories that have no point. I don't like her voice. Everything is gorgeous, delicious (even when talking about objects rather than food grrr), darling etc she is not an interesting person at all and I don't like the music she plays either!
So to sum up: there's nothing about her that appeals to me.

Whisky2014 · 05/09/2018 11:30

Yy cordilerra sue perkins would be good!

explodingid · 05/09/2018 11:42

@ whiskey Couldn't agree more. She is probably one of the worst DJs on the radio atm and although I think she is a lovely person she irritates the hell out of me. I would definitely take Richard Madeley over the Cox! Grin

TheBlessedCheesemaker · 05/09/2018 11:59

Not sure I could bear Sara Cox every day. Would love it to be Emma Willis.

EachandEveryone · 05/09/2018 15:51

I thought they’d said Zoe Ball from the beginning?

explodingid · 05/09/2018 16:35

Argh please no!Shock

MrsMozart · 05/09/2018 18:45

Can't cope with Zoe Ball. She's too full on and talks too blinking fast.

ICantBelieveIDidThis · 05/09/2018 18:57

Danny Baker would be great.

I remember him from BBC Radio London on the weekends.

He was brilliant.

No to Mel or Sue. They are too awkward.

neffall · 05/09/2018 19:12

Please not Zoe Ball!!!!

EsmesBees · 05/09/2018 19:58

Mel and Sue are a great shout

BoneyBackJefferson · 05/09/2018 20:21

Mel and Sue
