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

DH and I both are hoping for Sara Cox, she’s great!

rollonoctober · 03/09/2018 08:59

I hadn't realised Greg James was moving to breakfast on R1. If Sara Cox gets the R2 one then we'd actually have a choice between 2 great options, rather than listening to the best of a bad bunch!

Another vote for Sara Cox.

Morethanthisprovincallife · 03/09/2018 08:59

I cannot bear Sarah Cox and whilst I'm northern myself I think her voice is awful on radio. It amazed me she ever got a job!

I Vanessa feltz she has energy about her, funny, quick... Her voice doesn't slop out the radio like a runny egg. I like tarbuck, micheal ball

oh Michael Ball, lovely, but too laid back for mornings I fear

NerrSnerr · 03/09/2018 09:01

I'd love it to be Zoe Ball, but would be happy with Sara Cox.

Squigglypig · 03/09/2018 09:01

Love Sara Cox. Actually prefer her to Chris when she steps in.

Disfordarkchocolate · 03/09/2018 09:02

Sara Cox is a joy to listen to on the morning. I'm planning to let the BBC know my thoughts today, I don't expect to be listened to but still going to make my views known.

Bobbybobbins · 03/09/2018 09:02

Sara Cox definitely!

MrsWembley · 03/09/2018 09:03

Zoe would be great too, but I love it when Sara looks after the show during Evans endless holidays.

Can't stand Feltz, she sounds so false and insincere. Posters here have said she's known as being not very nice with those she works with, too.

another vote for the Mayo to take over with the old crew and leave Jo to it at night.
Sara is nice enough, but she would be better at Ken bruce slot if he left.
why is Chris leaving? i dont listen to him anyway, he is way too cheerful
and annoying! i hope steve wright goes as well.

Blinkingblimey · 03/09/2018 09:07

It’s got to be Sarah Cox or Simon Mayo.......though actually we’ve switched to local radio since the Drivetime sh.t show with the addition of poor Jo (who is fine but not when you want some fun & a giggle!).

Makemineboozefree · 03/09/2018 09:07

Another vote here for Sara Cox. She used to grind my teeth on Radio 1 with her screeching, but she's much more laid back in her approach now and she always plays great music.

Mrsmadevans · 03/09/2018 09:09

I am glad he is going tbh , we have no listened to him since he did a complete turnaround and did Top Gear after saying he wouldn't. Good riddance . I would love Vanessa or Michael or Liza ' Big em up' Tarbuk

surferjet · 03/09/2018 09:09

Love Sara cox .

Asterado · 03/09/2018 09:10

For the love of everything not Moyles. I would be heartbroken to have that arrogance personified mysoginistic bully in my ears first thing!

I really do think it’ll be Sara Cox.

surferjet · 03/09/2018 09:10

Oh Liza is fab but I don’t think she’s mainstream enough.

Jitters22 · 03/09/2018 09:11

Not Zoe Ball - no way!

She's another one like Evans who is stuck in the 90s, gabbling 10 to the dozen, shouty and breathless - it's all just too frantic.

I haven't listened to the Breakfast Show in years, and I would very much like to start listening again .. but I won't be if Zoe Ball takes over.

Sara Cox or Simon Mayo for me. Just someone a little more laid back than the present incumbent.

Asterado · 03/09/2018 09:11

Oh no wait... you don’t think they’ll draft in Fearne Cotton do you?

doodleygirl · 03/09/2018 09:12

Sara Cox is a yes from me

SchadenfreudePersonified · 03/09/2018 09:13

Coleen Nolan is the obvious candidate - surprised none of you have mentioned her yet.

Valkarie · 03/09/2018 09:14

I would love Zoe Ball to get it. I want to like Sara Cox, but find her voice irritating. Would rather it went to her than another middle aged white man though. Apart from the token shared role of Jo Whiley, there are no women on in the day.

BecauseImExtra · 03/09/2018 09:16

I'm confused. This is not Chris Evans as in Captain America? I was going to post Sebastian Stan. :D

ChairinSage · 03/09/2018 09:17

I'd love it to be Sara Cox too, she's great when she covers Chris. When was the last time Radio 2 employed a new DJ? I know the Breakfast show needs an experienced presenter but it would be nice to give a new voice a turn.
