Anyone hear Miranda Hart on R2 this morning? Such fun!

Did love listening to her but think I would actually rather just listen to the children squabble than listen to Chris Evans in the morning.

Who was the man she was presenting with?

Yes, who was the man? I even went on the radio website and couldn't find the answer! He sounded like a young Chris Tarrant at times.

I can't remember - no-one I had heard of. Did you sing along to Mama Mia then?

JiltedJohnsJulie · 03/10/2011 19:54

Of course Bunbaker, didn't everyone? It's what I call a great song Grin.

He did sound like a young Chris Tarrant, I thought that too.

Who is this mystery guy?

Nope, I will tomorrow.....although Chris Moyales has Will Farrell on....who I love dearly.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 03/10/2011 19:57

Suppose you could always listen to the Will Farrell bit on the iplayer.....

they kept saying who it was, will find out tomorrow.
cheated and looked it up in Guide, jon Holmes.
i was going to say something holmes, honest gov.

Oooh, is she doing it all week? I'm not sure I know where to find R2, but I would make the effort for Miranda.

MrsVoltar · 03/10/2011 20:00

Must try to listen to this, Miranda is fab, such fun, indeed Grin

slartybartfast · 03/10/2011 20:01

i always go to 88.91

tis 88 to 91.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 03/10/2011 20:05

Here he is Jon Holmes and there is a piccy <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=jon+holmes&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=894&bih=472&tbm=isch&tbnid=HfjSreHLayZEuM:&imgrefurl=www.canterbury.ac.uk/events/public-lectures/2009-lectures/autumn/jon-holmes.asp&docid=pbtIYENuZErL_M&w=175&h=263&ei=DweKTs3dI5HUsgbj7OHgAQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=281&page=1&tbnh=112&tbnw=106&start=0&ndsp=10&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0&tx=76&ty=54" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here. Just make sure you don't google John Holmes by mistake, especially in the video section. That's all I'm saying Grin

Think she is on all week. If you can't find R2 you could always try the iplayer Maud, that way you get Miranda and MN Smile

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 03/10/2011 20:10

Ah yes, the joys of the iPlayer. Or I could drive round the M25 - such fun - as one of the buttons on the car radio is pre-set to R2!

slartybartfast · 03/10/2011 20:12

i dont really like their show as it makes me think it is the Holidays or something
Hmm

JiltedJohnsJulie · 03/10/2011 20:15

Did you find all the singing a jollity a little too unsettling slarty?

OP posts:
bibbitybobbityhat · 03/10/2011 20:16

Oh dear, I thought it was awful. Forced jollity and absolutely nothing natural about it. Had to switch back to R5. I was surprised as Chris Evans was off last week replaced by Richard Madeley (even worse) - is he having yet another of his holidays?

JiltedJohnsJulie · 03/10/2011 20:32

Do I sense a little bit of TOG about you bibbity? Grin

OP posts:
bibbitybobbityhat · 03/10/2011 20:33

Unfortunately I don't know what TOG is!

seeksnewnamewithgsoh · 03/10/2011 20:45

This morning was what I call a complete relief! No Richard Madeley!! Thank the radio gods for taking him away. He makes me want to stab myself in the ears or at least switch over to Crap Moyles

Sadly I only have a 20 minute drive to work, but I suppose there is iplayer.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 04/10/2011 06:50

Richard Madeley has such rubbish taste in music too.

I love Miranda on the TV but have been disappointed by the radio show so far. Her voice is a bit too intrusive first thing in the morning imo - and maybe its because much of her humour is visual? It just all seems a bit forced and theres not much rapport between her and John Holmes. Give me French and Saunders or Tennant and Tate any day.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 04/10/2011 12:35

Am beginning to think I'm in a bit of a minority.....

OP posts:
sphil · 04/10/2011 14:57

No, I really WANT to love her on the radio Grin

ppeatfruit · 06/10/2011 13:15

Yeah another fan of Miranda's here but i'm not sure about her on every morning especially with the John Holmes chap he didn't come over well i'm afraid, agree there's no chemistry between them,she'd be better on her own IMO I liked her on the bank holidays. I don't remember who she was with then.

TOGs forever Grinjiltedjohns i don't reckon bibbity would thank you for calling her a TOG!!It means Terry's (Wogan) Old Geezers or Girls bibbity Shock!!!

bibbitybobbityhat · 06/10/2011 14:53

Oh yikes! No, I just love Chris Evans, pure and simple Smile - I never used to listen to Wogan.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 06/10/2011 15:00

Oh god I just can't stand him. He is much, much too happy and excited for first thing in the morning, he was so much better on the Drivetime Show, but then I am a bit of a grumpy old cow Grin.
