It's a very cheesey show isn't it, especially if your not in love. The best thing on Radio 2 on a Sunday is Johnnie Walker. Re the rest of the day, guess Radio 2 has to cater for the older generation at least one day of the week.

Friends of mine listen to this (honest) and not only is it dross but you don't get a request read out unless you preface it with something along the lines of 'great show Steve'. Egoist.

BTW I'm really enjoying the internet radio station 'Musical Justice' at the moment, it's indie-ish without the landfill (I love that term).

because my wife finds it to be a soothing part of her sunday am ritual. Usually I am out when it is on but this weekend we were still suffering the rigours of jetlag so I didn't get my normal visit to the gym. Usually only listen to sport on the radio although I did find www.deezer.com on words recommendation and that gives you pretty good access to some good radio.

Arthur Smith's Lecture on a Saturday on Radio 2 is even worse. A compilation of unfunny clips held together by his incredibly unfunny links. I hope for his reputation that they're scripted for him.

I used to like Lawro but now I am moving towards the 'does he actually like football?' camp.

We've just signed Ivan Campo. I wonder what they call him in the dressing room...Campo-o?
Ahem, so, Dermot O'Leary, aside from reading out emails and not bothering to research your guests (Teddy Thompson: "My Dad was in Fairport Convention". Dermot: "Really?") what is it that you bring to the radio that wouldn't be better served by making that Stuart Maconie work a bit harder for his money by giving him the slot?
