really? she's annoying imo so there

stainesmassif · 04/08/2010 18:09

No. You are wrong! And she's so much better than Simon Mayo. Zzzzzzz.

She's rubbish. But marginally better than Mayo.

ShowOfHands · 04/08/2010 18:14

Do you know what, she's the personification of a guffaw. I don't like guffawing.

stainesmassif · 04/08/2010 18:29

You make an excellent point, but I totally buy into the cosiness. I'm sold.

Because she is terrible. So much 'jolly' and 'arch' and 'hurr hurr". Boak.
Honestly what the heck has happened to the afternoon/early evening on radio 2?
Oh hang on we have the dreaded Ball one sitting in for Ken Bruce too. What are they thinking?
The only decent bit is Chris Evans on the breakfast show.

It's v hard to find anything worth listening to and now you're all trying to make me hate Liza tarbuck. It's not faaaair.

She was better as a foil for Radcliffe. Struggles a bit on her own IMO.

Not trying to make a sexist point. I'd love to hear more female voices on the BBC music stations. It's just that the ones we have at the moment are not very good, apart from Janice Long and a regional BBC presenter in the north called Alex Hall.

sharbie · 04/08/2010 20:01

I love her staines - I want to see her on tv.she's fab.

Lynli · 04/08/2010 20:06

Awful women, only got anywhere because of her father.

stainesmassif · 04/08/2010 20:21

Ah, sharbie! We must have been separated at birth!

Because she is a dreadful showbiz child with a forced voice and a fake jollity.The very personification of bubbly

stainesmassif · 04/08/2010 20:23

Ps uqd, I can also tolerate Lauren laverne on 6 music, but what do I know, I love Liza!

OP posts:
UnquietDad · 04/08/2010 20:26

Oh, yes, I forgot about Lauren I love her accent. But then I used to love Kenickie.

UnquietDad · 04/08/2010 20:27

Is anyone else finding Chris Evans a bit much after 6 months?...

noddyholder · 04/08/2010 20:28

lauren is great

stainesmassif · 04/08/2010 20:30

I enjoyed chris on the way home, don't enjoy him in the am nearly as much. And I'm ashamed to say that moira stewart's chuckle is one of the biggest turn offs for me.

squeaver · 04/08/2010 20:33

I used to really like her until someone on MN said that she's an utter bitch, apparently.

[easily led]

rocketupbum · 04/08/2010 20:45

I agree about chris evans in am, I used to love him on drive time. However I think my main issue is with Lynn the traffic women, I am incredibly irrationally irritated by her. I can only listen to radio 2 once I know she has left the airwaves!
I do love Liza Tarbuck tho.

squeaver · 04/08/2010 20:46

Oh God, Lynn doesn't half love herself.

stainesmassif · 04/08/2010 20:49

And I used to largely enjoy Terry in the morning, but the Sunday show brings me out in a head to toe cringe. Am just waiting for the day I can get digital radio in the car.

Oooh I love Liza, I think she is fab, I don't mind Zoe either although I could not possibly have her replacing St Kenneth of Bruce forever.

Tell you who I think is awful - Chris Tarrant standing in for Steve Wright (who is also 20 years past his sell-by).

My preference for line up on Radio 2 would be:
Breakfast: Simon Mayo
10-12: Ken Bruce
12-2: Jeremy Vine
2-4 Radcliffe and Tarbuck (Liza, obv, not Jimmy - imagine that!
4-7 Chris Evans

I miss Wogan terribly but I accept that he has retired...

essenceofSES · 04/08/2010 20:58

Liza Tarbuck is rubbish! That's why she doesn't have her own show! I'm hoping she's never used as a stand-in again either! Just comes across as really fake and showbizzy.

I love Chris's show in the mornings and also Jeremy Vine's show. Ken Bruce is ok but Steve Wright is stuck in the 80s!

(Just IMHO!)

stainesmassif · 04/08/2010 21:08

steve wright - also cringeworthy. it makes me laugh how many messages he reads out from people who 'love the show, steve'
