Evan Davies is so lovely I want him for a novelty keyring. And he is going to become a presenter of the Today Programme

[Threadworm]

This is good news, surely, especially if it means the horrible egotist John Humphries is retiring.

Evan Davies is clever, enthusiastic, and really cute!

oh i see, lol, down the line is that shite show. gotcha.

Oh God I never listen to 5Live after 7pm, it goes all TalkRadio.

I only listen to Terry Wogan and Radio 4. Oh, and Wave 105 - biggest radio station on the South Coast! - for music in the car.

Am I old now?

is rhod sharpe still on up all night? i seriously love him. i want him to adopt me.

Mind you, Talkradio is quite fun an a post-ironic sort of way!

Lydia, just watched your Armstrong and Miller thing - liked it a lot - thank you!

And if you want surreal, TalkRadio between 3 and 6 in the morning is wild!

that;s no lydia, that's lapin...

I can't get used to being Lydia, I think I shall have to revert to my basic littlelapin persona!

Night ladies, sweet dreams of Andrew Marr, Evan Davies and Tom Lehrer...

that;s no lydia, that's lapin...

LOL Aitch, get out of my head!

is it too late to put in a big slurpy drooly vote for Eddie Mair

Oh Eddie Mair's wonderful!

And don't forget Robert Robinson - or has everyone, except me?

Robert Robinson is one of those people you thought would go on forever... he seemed quite old when he used to present Ask The Family when I was a schoolkid. Brain of Britain def not the same without him.

couldn't abide robert robinson. loved ned sherrin and adore eddie mair. is it just twinkletits i like, then?

"Well which Hard News Presenters do you have secret pashes on pointy?"

lol.
er, none I don't think. You make it sound like such a natural thing, wonkers.

kermode, a bit self-satisfied? crikey, that's an understatement. He is top nob.

Eddie Mair - used to work beside his boyfriend.

And agree - Evan Davies is gorgeous

A couple of you heart Laurie Taylor!

Smuggy, smarmy peddler of 5th-rate academe.

Might ask you to say 'Loofah' instead of his name.

Agree Eddie Mair is swoonable -- but only on the radio, not when you get to see him.

So many people with strong feelings about Laurie Taylor... how did that happen?

What about You and Yours then

I kind of like You and Yours. It is very comfortable. And thingy -Peter Young?- is quite nice, though not in a sexual or in a novelty keyring kind of a way.

Did somebody last night say they were in on Radio 5 gossip? What happened to Luke Harvey, then?

Eddie Mair is fab. Edward Sturton, anyone?

I used to like Michael Buerk even if he does spell his name in a silly way, but I went off him when he did that riff about women reporters. And we mustn't forget that Radio 4 announcer who sounds like Harry Belafonte on a slowed down tape!

Don't mind Peter White, but have a bit of a prob with Scottish woman (Sheila McC...?) who sounds as though she hasn't fully swallowed a mouthful of food. However, this is just pointless bitching now...

It is 100x who has the 5Live gossip. I don't think she's an insider (though could be wrong), she just retains a frightening amount of information.]

Yes, Buerk blew it with the woman reporter crap didn't he. I like that continuity announcer - but apparently quite a few R4 listeners complained when he first started

Admittedly You and Yours is rather dull. But it is probably one of the most effective and intelligent consumer programmes, with no gimmicks at all.

(Policywonk: are you impliying that there is something wrong with pointless bitching?)

I just had an attack of conscience about said woman googling herself and finding me wittering away about her pronunciation. Normal service will resume shortly!
