Does anyone enjoy listening to Vernon Kay?

[princesspadam]

Because I’m going to have to start turning off 9.30-12

is he funny? Am I missing something? All the nonsense about what his mum/dad say (in a OTT northern accent)? All the talk about being ‘on the tools’ as if he’s a manual worker done good

its cringey to listen to

Same, we have radio 2 on at work. I find Vernon annoying when he witters on about truck drivers and saying "know worr I mean" at the end of every sentence (usually at around 11am) but otherwise bearable.
The Jeremy Vine show is always a lot better when someone else is standing in for him.

Im in the minority that I quite like Richie Anderson! Hes the least annoying of the 3 of them. I dont mind Scott Mills either

I have to turn o ver. He is a total twat.

I think VK was the straw that broke the camels back for me, that he replaced KB was a double blow.☹️
Listen to GHR now apart from Sat evenings when I tune back into R2 to listen to Lisa Tarbuck & Gary Davies.

Unpopular opinion but I wasn't devastated when KB left. I also like Richie Anderson with Sara Cox. The current breakfast combination makes me turn off.

I quite listening. Easy listening.

Ken Bruce left before I started listening to radio 2. I was watching him do some pop quiz on TV and my god,his voice droned on. Very monotonous . I love music quizzes normally but I had to turn over. I don't know if he was different on the radio but I definitely didn't get the hype re him 🤷‍♀️

Erm I love King Ken 😄 went with him to Greatest Hits & I love his Popmaster tv show, so each to their own 🤷🏻‍♀️
Never listen to Radio 2 anymore but DH likes Tony Blackburn whilst he’s driving to work on Saturday mornings.
Not keen on Vern and agree that him & Tess just got lucky.

Ditto! He makes me cringe! And when he says deja woooooooooooooo, I could weep! 😂

I reckon Vernon and Tess have a life sized canvas portrait of themselves in their living room.

I quite like Sara Cox and Liza Tarbuck is genuinely nuts I think as opposed to “wacky”. Which I like.
I miss Terry Wogan but I’m glad that after he died no BBC style skeletons fell out of the closet- I admit I was a bit anxious about that.

I couldn't stand Terry Wogan.
Ken Bruce's Popmaster TV show is padded out with so much unnecessary chat I can't watch it.

Agree about Liza, she is nuts in the true sense and always sounds like she's having a marvellous time to herself.

Sara Cox is fine apart from hatched matched and despatched - it's always so gloomy! I'm tuning in a lot less because I don't want to hear her intoning lugubriously.

Ken Bruce was perfect on popmaster in its original format. It doesn't work on telly, and neither does he. He also tried to do a national popmaster tour on the radio a few years ago and that didn't work either.

I thought Richie was annoying to begin with but he's a sweet thing really so I can't dislike him, it feels wrong.

really enjoy liza tarbuck

Cant stand Vern or his mate Paddy mc, love it when Gary stands in for his sickkie/hols days.
Going of Scott Mills now, he has lots of sickie days!

So do I. I love his accent as well. I like Liza Tarbuck. She has that rare gift of sounding like she is talking to you personally. Johnnie Walker had the same gift as well.

I like Vernon but hate it when he’s away and Gary Davies covers. I’m sure he’s a nice bloke but he’s so annoying!!!!
I also like Scott Mills but find Trevor Nelson very dull. Miss the legend that was Steve Wright 😞

I love Gary Davies too hes brilliant on a Saturday night too

I know this is from months ago, but I strongly agree. Chris Tarrant's breakfast show on Capital Radio was just brilliant. And I do miss Danny Baker.

My favourite radio shows in recent years were Graham Norton on R2, Claudia, Liza Tarbuck, Paul O'Grady, anything hosted by Bob Harris and I didn't even mind Chris Evans. So -it's been brutal! Now I literally never listen to R2 as I cannot abide Gary Davis with every fibre of my being.

When Sean Keaveny (sp?) took over from Liza Tarbuck I quite enjoyed that show - but they're even changing that. Saturday and Sunday early evenings are going to be a bland monotony of nothingness. It makes me really sad actually.

also loved Chris Tarrant breakfast show
such a good start to my day.
loved Graham Norton, but somehow not enough to listen on Virgin, or wherever he is now

Here after participating in another radio thread.

I don't understand the register or Janine being called Jolene. Well I understand it is something Jeremy Vine said once and he ran with it, but there is a phrase "you're a good act but you're on for too long" and that's what he's doing with this.

I like vernon I mean he’s no Graham Norton who was brilliant and I miss as I don’t listen to him now but he’s better than some. Couldn’t stand Steve Wright the creepiness with guests gushing over them was sickly.
I really like Sara cox think she’s very natural, about time she was on earlier in the day.

I cannot listen to him or watch him. He is a revolting creep.

Nope bring back Scott mills. I even prefer Grimmers to him

No
