I've heard her put on a weird voice and repeatedly say, 20+ times, Scooby Dooby Doo in said weird voice. Turned off and 10 minutes later went into a shop that had Radio 2 on and she was still doing it. FFS she's paid a fortune for that nonsense and we're paying through the licence fee.

Plenty love her I know but not me I listen to lbc these days. Well apart from James 'did you know I've got a new book out' O'Brien

Bubb13Wrap · 09/09/2024 17:38

I think she’s great. Really look forward to her show.

DiscoinFrisco · 09/09/2024 17:39

I really like Sara Cox.

There's some presenters I'm not keen on. That's just how it works. Not everyone likes the same stuff. Why start s thread to tell everyone?

Like Vernon and his "sunshieien"!
Much prefer the breakfast show without Z Ball and think S Mills is far more suited to it than his afternoon slot. Wishing hard that she doesnt come back or I am back to being depressed by Today.

OMG Zoe Ball does my head in ... calls herself Zo, she's only got a three lettered name ffs and says eerrrrrrr every other word, grrrr 😡

Even worse she calls herself “the Zo Bird”. It makes me fume. As does her phrase “tellybox”. Even typing that has raised my blood pressure.

redtrain123 · 09/09/2024 17:40

I really like her. Always upbeat and enthusiastic.

LissaGa · 09/09/2024 17:41

I like her, and I like Zoe Ball and I like Vernon Kay. They are all a similar age to me and they all look brilliant and still know how to have fun. I really really miss Steve Wright though, nobody can ever replace him.

Doggymummar · 09/09/2024 17:42

Where is Zoe ball? It's been some man for the past few weeks. He's very name droppy. Yesterday when I was with Rylan, dinner with Michael Ball tonight, are you seeing Kylie on Wednesday, shut up and play a song

i’ve been pleasantly surprised with Scott on the morning show as well. Preferred him to other stand- ins.

I often wonder if people are listening to the same Sara Cox as me - I love her!

I also think she is fab. It’s a shame a northern accent is so grating for some people. If you don’t like the show don’t watch it. Why do you have to whinge about it.

Seashor · 09/09/2024 17:42

Absolutely can’t stand her or Zoe Ball. I’d rather listen to nothing. Radio 1 in the morning, Greg James is fantastic and then Simon Mayo’s drive time on Greatest Hits. Why they let him go I’ll never know.

Mnetcurious · 09/09/2024 17:44

I love her show! (Although that scooby doo thing sounds awful, not listened yet today). I couldn’t stand her in the ladette/radio one days but she’s mellowed and I find her really funny, and brilliant with the listeners who phone in - they can be very hit and miss but she handles them all so well and with gentle humour and warmth.

ChishiyaBat · 09/09/2024 17:45

I've never been a fan, thank god I don't pay the license fee&don't have to listen to her!

WinnyMoms · 09/09/2024 17:45

I met her once, years ago and she was absolutely one of the loveliest, most down to earth, not up her own bum celebs I've met / encountered in close proximity.

Demonhunter · 09/09/2024 17:46

@BogRollBOGOF oh Mills 😬 I've emailed Radio 2 on a few occasions asking for Spoony to permanently replace him!

I really Sara. Also love Vernon and really like Scott Mills. Took me a while to warm to him as I wasn't a radio 1 listener when he was there but I have really come to like him. Probably like Zoe the least out of all of them and am enjoying Scott sitting in for her. I also like OJ Borg too. I thought I would miss Ken but I really don't. Can't stand commercial radio.

Iamawomandontcallmeanythingelse · 09/09/2024 17:49

Radio X is what Radio 2 wants to be.

fiorentina · 09/09/2024 17:51

I like her a lot but find her radio show a bit much sometimes compared to presenting on TV.

NerrSnerr · 09/09/2024 17:54

I really like her show, I love Zoe, Vernon and Scott too. I was sad when Ken left but greatest hits radio is very samey so stayed with radio 2.

I'm surprised no one has said that Radio 2 should be giving Gary Davies a full time slot- he is one that annoys me with the oooh Gary Davies

I'm not massively keen on her show, with the constant paper rustling and the banging on about being old (she's not).

I don't listen now.

I am in awe of her earning circa £1 million a year for it though...

Her mum died, so she's taking time off.

Me too! I think she is quite under-rated as a broadcaster.
