AIBU to find Liza Tarbuck annoying ?

[TheTecknician]

I stumbled across her Radio 2 programme earlier this evening whilst exploring the various stations. I didn't know who it was until she mentioned her own name. Admittedly she did play some decent music but managed to talk utter drivel between every record. I didn't think it was possible to have access to a bottomless pit of verbal vacuous nonsense but evidently it is. I'm fully prepared to be told that lots of people like her and that's her broadcasting style and I am therefore BU. I don't think I'll be tuning in again.

For context, I was listening to Clive Anderson on Radio 4 beforehand and he can be cringeworthy at times. But nothing like Liza Tarbuck. BTW, does she put that voice on or is it her normal speech?

I love her she's brilliant. Love her in Upstart Crow 😍

I absolutely love her.

She's funny and a teensy bit mad but rather joyfully entertaining

She’s great.
Natural and witty.

I LOVE her. Her radio show is a lovely 2 hours of unadulterated joy. The music she plays is so eclectic and I find her very funny.

Radio 2 Saturdays I listen all day. Well not now they've swapped Fambo for Steve Wright FFS.

But everyone has different tastes and that's completely fine. There's an off button on everything for this exact reason.

Gambo not fambo

I agree. She is a goddess. Anyone remember Linda Green? I loved that programme

I love her. She's quite deliberately like a slightly eccentric auntie. I think she's funny and warm and kind. I wish she were my aunt or big sister, in spite of the fact she's probably younger than me. Her show is like a warm hug.

Love her.

I can’t stand Alan Carr and I find LT annoying. So I guess I am team @TheTecknician

You are not being unreasonable for not liking her radio show. You are being unreasonable for starting a thread looking to give a woman's personality a thrashing.

I think she's great.

I agree, listening to Lisa is like meeting up with an old friend. She is very companionable and I enjoy her choice of music.
I miss Paul O’Grady and Janice Long on the radio too.

I know what you mean. It took a little while to get used to her style but now I enjoy it. I was the same with Mark and Lard on radio 1 in the 90s. There are in jokes and when you listen for the first time, you don't get it. Over time, you start to understand and then you feel part of the gang.

I really like her.

lol I always think that too 🤣
I love listening to Rylan on before her but have to turn her off I'm afraid ... don't like the music so may have listened to more, but can't

I completely love her

I like her a lot.

Truth is OP, it’s a big world and not everyone warms to the same people.

YANBU for not being a fan, YABU for starting a thread trashing a woman’s personality just because it’s not your cup of tea. Why? You want everyone to like exactly the same things as you? You hope she and her friends will read it and be upset? I don’t get this sort of nasty internet posting at all.

How lovely. A thread to bash someone.

Just switch it off. No need to be horrible about someone doing their job.

Don't listen to her radio show, but thought she was very good in Upstart Crow. Don't like her dad at all incidentally.

Who died and made you the arbiter of radio DJ’s? You tuned into a radio programme and didn’t like it and….. I’m not sure your preference needs to be litigated.

She is bonkers and I love her radio show.

She is fabulous and I have a bit of a crush on her!

Same here.

I can’t listen and switch off. She’s similar to Sarah Cox in the zaniness but doesn’t have Sarah’s verbal gymnastics and wit.
I don’t know why people are criticising the OP for starting the thread. Not everyone likes the same TV series, host, radio presenter.. We literally discuss all of this endlessly on MN every single day!

I love her wackiness! It helps me to remember the fun/silly side of life and I love her show, because of how bonkers and lovely it is.
