Very happy as I can't stand him

They definitely said on the radio this morning it was something to with conduct in a relationship going back many years, so I don’t think drugs.

It might be but it, if it was, there is definitely a time to appreciate when there is an expiry date on something like that. Over time, fewer people appreciate or understand the origin of it. I'd never listened to Scott on R1 and had very limited listening to him on R2 due to commuting until he took over the breakfast slot. To me, it was something unknown, felt uncomfortable, egocentric and uncomfortable in terms of listening.

Or Tiny Tim

That's his schtick

Please don’t let Gary Davies replace him or anyone again! That voice, the deja wooooo and he gives me the creeps. I love the line up with Vernon, Jeremy and Sara. Not keen on the 2pm slot with anyone on it. Romesh can buzz off too. I like Ellie Brennan she is very good and funny.

Absolutely loathe that phrase, it diminishes the crime and is massively disrespectful to survivors.

Right I think I've cracked it. It could be like the bucket challenge where a presenter does a Monday to Friday stint on the breakfast show and then nominates another presenter halfway through the week to take over the following week and that just rolls on until they run out of people willing or able to do it. At that point they would replace the whole show with just recorded chatter in a small neighbourhood cafe somewhere in the Welsh Valleys, introduced with a recap of the previous week's gossip by Trevor Nelson. A nice n chilled start to the day.

My choice for the breakfast week challenge might include:

Richard Madeley
Joanna Lumley
Trevor McDonald with Sally travel for sidekick
Richard Ayoade
Alison Hammond
Rob Brydon
Aisling Bea

(But anyone could be nominated)

The bbc will have Ritchie Anderson in there before long

Please no.

Oh I’m so glad someone else has mentioned Ellie sounding congested all the time!!! I can’t stand that she can’t say junction without sounding like the tunes advert from the 80s.

Ritchie Anderson is just awful

Vernon is the worst of them all with his faux OTT northern-ness and ‘on the tools’ bullshit. Slimy, fake, cheating piece of shit. Janice / Janine thing is so overdone.

i loved Scott’s elder vs millennial and the wonder years. Although I used to turn over for the easiest quiz which was soooo annoying all the begging ‘oh please quiz’

Never liked Zoe doing anything

Sara Cox is ok in small doses, but not kids in the car! I was impressed by her children in need task

paddy - no
romesh - no
sally traffic - no shut up
emma Willis - yawn

miss Simon mayo, Ken & Steve Wright

i think my vote will be for Rylan

“Love you, bye!” I think came from Adam and Joe on 6 Music a long time ago…

Don't mince your words.

with liza tarbuck's show it was all her choice, her music

What about Mark Goodier as a replacement?

same here. I never liked it. I felt he was forcing the caller to diminish real life relationships where they actually love people and instead be forced to say they love him

Well that's quite a stretch!

dont let it be alison hammond
although tbh i dont care, i stopped listening to radio 2 when scott mills started!

From what I can read from all of this is that everyone wants a calm and humorous introduction to the day that gently gets you in the right frame of mind, you feel uplifted and not agitated by inane/ over hyped conversation whilst you drink a cuppa/ get on with your day/ is an antidote to the stress of a typical morning before we all crack on with daily life. Can anyone suggest a solution as I would love it! Or is this the impossible dream?

I would say Radio 3 Unwind but that might not tick the humorous box.

We're totally opposite. I don't mind Gary Davies. Ellie Brennan isn't a DJ and the others try too hard to be comedians.

Completely agree. I’m so sad tonight.

interesting the internet is full of where is the investigation etc. most are supportive overall.

My worry, is there is a conspiracy hunt and without evidence or explanation he ends up exceptionally unwell.

trial by media for alleged conduct ten years ago sits uneasy with me.

Have you forgotten it's a radio show? There are no radio presenters in this list. May as well add Howard from the Halifax adverts and Barry Scott from Cillit Bang.

Thank you - will take a look.

I can't get my head round what can have happened, as he's so ambitious he wouldn't do anything to jeopardise his career, would he???

I thought he was dead?

He wasn't last night when he was on the radio.

No but the inevitable reshuffle when they pick someone else should mean that OJ now gets a permanent daytime slot. He deserves it. He's good and he's earned his stripes.
