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?

Oh, I need a bit of enthusiasm in the morning to get me putting one foot in front of the other!

He's grown on me, but I much preferred him on Drivetime. I'm afraid to admit I liked Terry more (though I hate his new show). Miranda was better this morning.

I agree with seeksnewname Richard Madeley is dreadful when he stands in. I don't know why I hate him so much on the radio, I just can't listen to him. i actually tuned my radio to something else last week and I've never bothered before.
Quite like Miranda and Jon but Chris Evans is best.

When I'm at home I listen to Shaun Keaveny on R6, am loving Miranda so now Shaun this week.

What's the music like on R6 in the mornings jilted? i don't mind Chris Evans, prefered T.W. though.

What I cannot stand are those awful 'sounds like 1000 other songs' boy band heavily over produced sxxt that they ALL play. i love Ken Bruce but have just had to turn him off 'cos he played one of those songs.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 07/10/2011 14:29

No boy bands on Shaun's show. Really like the music he plays actually, bit of new stuff and a bit of old like the odd indie track or classic hip hop. You should give it a try.

I will jilted thanks Smile.

Jilted , Jon Holmes has a show on 6 on Saturday afternoons (not with Miranda though).

Inertia · 08/10/2011 23:18

That's as well as standing in on Radio Slippers- sorry, sounded like I was correcting you there!

JiltedJohnsJulie · 10/10/2011 12:41

Thanks Inertia didn't know that. There again I am usually out on Saturday afternoons so don't listen to Radio 6.

Love Huey on a Sunday though Grin

It was horrible, so twee and middle class.

NetworkGuy · 14/10/2011 16:58

BBC did get complaints which (as expected) they dismissed!

JiltedJohnsGhoulie · 14/10/2011 18:27

Do people really bother to complain because they don't like a presenter who is covering for a week? Am truely amazed.

NetworkGuy · 16/10/2011 14:49

Yes, seems rather petty when not a 'permanent' change.

Must be some die-hard Chris Evans fans!

Personally, I've always switched to something else when he is on...

JiltedJohnsGhoulie · 16/10/2011 15:48

Chris Evans has that effect on me too these days. Usually tune in early on a Monday on my way to work, just in case he is on holiday and change stations if he's there.....

NetworkGuy · 17/10/2011 08:35

Just pressed wrong preset and yes, he's on.

Usually listen to R2 after midnight, up to 5am,and sometimes to Simon Mayo.

kitya · 17/10/2011 08:42

I don't get Miranda at all. Glad Chris is back. I just wish they would get rid of Steve Wright in the afternoon.

Haggyoldclothbatspus · 17/10/2011 08:49

OK. All I can say is "Come back Wogan. I MISS YOU!" Sad
Chris Evans is great at teatime. The same show doesnt work at breakfast time though, Terry was great to wake up to. There is nothing like a good giggle in the morning. Sad Miranda is not bad though.
