I feel your pain. I quite like the music on her show, but can't listen to it as her voice does my head in

SpidersDontWashTheirHands · 19/10/2014 14:34

Aaaaaaaaaaargh! I cannot fucking stand her!!!!!

Thanks for that, feeling much calmer now Grin

I turn off radio 2 after Graham Norton finishes and don't re-tune until Chris Evans Monday morning.

Tony Blackburn
Dermot O fucking Leary
and worst of all ............Elaine Paige; all fucking dreadful!

Cantbelievethisishappening · 19/10/2014 14:40

She sounds like Bugs Bunny

She's a crap DJ, she sounds like she's reading off a script and her nasal, whiny tone is reminiscent of nails being dragged down a chalkboard.

BestIsWest · 19/10/2014 14:50

YANBU. Radio goes off when she comes on

I love Tony Blackburn though. I am so sad that I can usually guess which year and what was no 1 without him saying.

Bogeyface · 19/10/2014 14:52

Couldnt agree more. I have it on now as I love the music but her voice is so irritating and her laugh makes me want to break the radio!

There are plenty of other people who could make a much better job of that show than she does!

morningtoncrescent62 · 19/10/2014 14:54

I'm right there with you. I love songs from the shows but I just can't bear to listen to her. I wish BBC2 would replace her because it's a show I'd otherwise love. My vote is for Jodie Prenger to it - she sometimes stands in for Paul O'Grady and she's great at radio. Who do I write to at the Beeb to suggest it?

Arlagirl · 19/10/2014 14:55

I love the music though. Great ones today..Scottsboro boys, Yentl.....but she is awful.
And as for break a leg.......

Bogeyface · 19/10/2014 15:00

Break a Leg is excrutiating but I think that is more down to the amateur lovies that call in!

Arlagirl · 19/10/2014 15:00

Fuck, Barbara Windsor's on next week. Even worse.

Sizzlesthedog · 19/10/2014 15:43

YANBU

She is dreadful. Off goes the radio when she is on. Can't bear her.

jellyandbeans · 19/10/2014 16:02

Still, i love Graham Norton. He read out one of my answers to a Grill Graham problem! Hate Elaine, but show tunes ate not my bag really. I have a go at pop master some days with Ken Bruce and i do like the oldies on Steve Wright, the public choose bettet tunes than the D J s. no ads either on radio two so thats a bonus..

fishdishwish · 19/10/2014 16:45

I can't stand Elaine's show, either.

The show I really despise, though, is Steve Wright's Sunday sodding Love Songs, which, with all its smug talk of soulmates and loved-dedications, sometimes feels like an act of aggression against the unhappily-single.

Wogan can be OK, but his singing along with the records makes me want to throw the radio through the window.

Ken Bruce is excellent, though.

fishdishwish · 19/10/2014 16:46

Loved-up dedications, even!

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 19/10/2014 16:51

I wish it was Michael Ball doing that show. I love him on the radio.

fishdishwish · 19/10/2014 16:58

Michael Ball is good, too. He's very much a radio natural.

Drumdrum60 · 19/10/2014 18:29

Love love love Wogan

Drumdrum60 · 19/10/2014 18:30

Hate hate hate Paige

InFlagranteDelicto · 19/10/2014 18:32

Hate that laugh! Really don't like the way she presents the show in general, we always retune it too. Love Wogan though.

adrieneswall · 19/10/2014 18:32

I detest the bloody woman, Give the show to Michael Ball.

Clawdy · 19/10/2014 18:36

Love Tony Blackburn too. And Brian Matthew with Sounds of the Sixties on Saturday morning! (showing age...) "Good morning,avids..."

bodhranbae · 19/10/2014 18:37

Hate Wogan AND Paige.
Apart from anything else they're both screaming Tories and Wogan was at Thatcher's funeral.
They are the kind of tedious detritus the BBC really needs to flush out. They've both ridden the gravy train for too fucking long.

Arlagirl · 19/10/2014 18:39

Michael Ball is great. Totally agree about Steve Wright and his fucking soulmates. I always think they'll be shagging on the side.
Graham Norton is great....live Maria McErlane and get very excited when she answers my tweets
