They've finally done it...

Richie Anderson has his own show from 3-6pm

Have we not suffered enough?

I quite like him, he seems fun and chatty.

marmitegirl01 · 21/12/2020 19:19

Other stations are available!

BringMeTea · 21/12/2020 19:29

A bitter blow. Chancer.

Credenhill22 · 21/12/2020 19:36

Have you ever heard anyone on radio who loves the sound of their own voice as him....oh ye Zoe Ball

Heatherjayne1972 · 21/12/2020 19:38

It’ll will either be fabulous

Or truly awful

FuzzyPuffling · 21/12/2020 19:40

I can't bear the way he says "Schtreet" (Or any other word beginning with St that gets a Sch sound instead. HORRIBLE!

hilbil21 · 21/12/2020 19:41

It's boy bands versus girl bands, I think the whole thing might be quite annoying Grin

PaperMonster · 21/12/2020 19:57

Thanks for letting us know - will be sure to tune in!

BonnieDundee · 21/12/2020 20:02

I have hardly listened to radio 2 since the simon mayo debacle. Theres not many left worth listening to. And I used to listen from.7.30 am till 7pm at night.

I will.never forgive those bastards for messing with Simon Mayo Xmas Angry

Good job. He's awful.

No talent, no wit, nothing interesting to say, just burbles on.

So I knew it wouldn't be long before he got a show.

My first thought was who? So I googled him and I am none the wiser. Please don’t enlighten me though I won’t be listening to the radio on Boxing Day I will be in a turkey and prosecco coma which I will revive myself from to walk the do then I will eat and drink more Xmas Wink

Superstardjs · 21/12/2020 22:18

Dear lord. 5 months of his utterly wank house traffic bollocks during lockdown was punishment enough.

reallyneedmoresleep · 21/12/2020 22:30

Ugh! Talentless, wittering, attention-seeking wannabe!

WarmSausageTea · 21/12/2020 22:34

They do seem quite determined to make him a thing. I don’t particularly enjoy his radio style, and his chat with Zoe Ball is tedious, but I’d still take him over Steve Wright in a heartbeat. Mind you, I’d take anyone over Steve Soddin’ Wright. No g.

secretfreckle · 21/12/2020 22:36

It was only a matter of time after he covered for Zoë Ball that morning she was ill.
Anyway, thank you for the warning. I'll be avoiding that on Boxing Day.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 21/12/2020 22:39

Well ....I would normally agree, but he stood in for Zoe and was ok & if it saves us from Steve Wright then let’s give him a go.

PeakyPaula · 21/12/2020 22:43

Do yourself a favour and switch to 6 music. Far superior music.

WhatDoHedgehogsSay · 21/12/2020 22:45

Surely anything is better than Steve Wright. Stop singing over the songs FFS! This isn’t 1993 and we are not still taping the radio.

PizzaForOne · 21/12/2020 22:46

All of radio 2 is shite. Find another station

ultrablue · 21/12/2020 22:49

Admittedly not listened to him for a while now but I did like him when he was on local radio, perhaps I just get his sense of humour GrinGrin

willstarttomorrow · 21/12/2020 23:16

I have drifted to 5live, apart from the sports stuff. Their breakfast show is just perfect- humour and news. In fact since working from home it is on all day. In the car I like jeremy vine just because of the crazy phone-in people and Graham was a must listen to on Saturday. 5live is my default station now.

HermannlovesPauline · 21/12/2020 23:18

Could be worse, could be Steve “great show” Wright who definitely knows where the bodies are buried

FuzzyPuffling · 22/12/2020 07:42

Ken Bruce is not shite.

Thats one of the problems. He just isn't funny

Quite.

Weekday Radio 2 is only worth it for him and Sara Cox
