Chris Evans and his kids, they need to fuck the hell off my radio pronto

battenbergbutterfly · 17/03/2018 12:22

We should send a 'love the show' email with a link to this thread to the Steve Wright show and as he loves himself so much he'll probably open it and read it out the narcissistic buffoon that he is.

Or record a cringe message for Sunday Love Songs?Wink

I hate Steve Wright.

I have a love/hate thing for Ken Bruce. Sometimes his music is Brilliant, great choices. Other times it's awful.

I have to turn off Jeremy Vine.

And here ends my belated and useless contribution to the thread.

I don't mind Chris Evans unless he's doing his "accessible to 1% of listeners" charity auctions (I used to detest him in the 90s, he's not as cocky these days). I like Ken Bruce, particularly Pop Master bit. I can't stand Jeremy Vine's show, it usually gets turned off within two minutes (fabricated, inflammatory shite). Steve Wright is a boring, past it, smug old man and I'd wish they'd bin him, but I don't mind the music, even if predictable. I like Simon Mayo. It's amazing how these men get a job for life at R2.

GinandGingerBeer · 17/03/2018 14:17

I can’t believe they get away with having so many male presenters/dj’s
Chris -then Ken then is it Jeremy? then Steve seriously fockin annoying Wright, then Simon Mayo.
This same thread with the hatred of Steve Wright comes round every year or so and he’s still fuckin there playing the same shite music and talking all over it.

capercaillie · 17/03/2018 14:22

Love Chris Evans show.

Don’t mind Steve wright but generally only hear 15 mins!

Can’t stand Jeremy vine - radio is turned off immediately.

Like jo whiley and Simon Mayo

Madonnasmum · 17/03/2018 14:25

We have a long running joke at work where people refuse to leave work early as they'd have to listen to Steve Wright in the car on the way home......they wait until it's Mayo time.

I really miss Desmond Carrington. Lovely gentleman, lovely music. A great start to the weekend after a week at work.

maddiemookins16mum · 17/03/2018 16:10

Simon Mayo is so sarcastic/ plain rude to callers to his show though, you can tell he hates talking to people (that said, it's usually some shrieking, overexcited woman - yep, - on her way to her sister's place in Derby for a 50th birthday knees up with kids in the back of the car who also want to speak to Simon).

MrsMaxwell · 17/03/2018 16:13

Hes annoying but I don’t understand why Jeremy Vine is always so depressin’ (No g Hmm)

maddiemookins16mum · 17/03/2018 16:16

Jeremy Swine he's known as here.

DioneTheDiabolist · 17/03/2018 16:18

We call him Smooth in the Afternoon.

Nanny0gg · 18/03/2018 13:14

Paul Gambocinni and Johnny Walker are amazing. Very knowledgeable and play amazing music.

I even like what Tony Blackburn plays. I just have to tune him out

cardibach · 19/03/2018 23:09

I don’t find Mayo rude to the callers.
I’m not sure it’s fair to blame Evans for the auctions - they’re for Children in Need and were started by Wigan, The breakfast show just continued to be the medium for them.

Fontella · 19/03/2018 23:12

It just shows you how different we all are.

Daytime radio on Radio 2 - I cannot listen to Evans - like Ken Bruce - turn off Jeremy Vine - Steve Wright is ok and I like Simon Mayo.

TooManyPaws · 20/03/2018 00:01

I can't remember the last time I had to suffer from BBC radio though probably some ghastly car journey. Thank goodness for decent local radio.

I do keep Radio nan Gàidheal on the Radio iPlayer though.
