Steve Wright - Worst thing about BBC Radio?

[Ricky Otto]

99% of DJs are C-Units, spotify radio is the answer, just music.

Only radio shows I've ever liked for the presenters were the Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant show with Karl Pilkington on XFM and the Russell Brand show with Matt Morgan and Trevor Lock on BBC 6 and 2

Good shout, never drive anywhere without Gold. We know the words to Hi Ho Silver Lining.

I like Gold, because I can't think of any other station that plays 'Telstar' by the Tornados!

Steve Lamacq (even thought he is Col U), Marc Riley and Gideon Coe on BBC6 are great. I actually don't mind Shaun Keavny although I can see he can be a bit irritating.

 

[Supernaut]

I really detest this bloke. The dated format (80s radio 1 breakfast 'wacky DJ'), the singing over songs in a deliberately out of tune voice, the sycophantic interviews and that ****ing 'serious jockin' crap you get on Friday afternoons, which is just 'pump up the jam' by Technotronic on a loop.

Sarah Cox would be so much better for that slot...………...

I was with you until that last sentence; Cox really is the worst thing about BBC radio IMHO.

Got a lot of time for Gideon Coe, and not just cos he regularly plays my stuff

One of the more annoying things in life is not being able to remember the name of the BBC Essex sports presenter that drives me mad with the drivel he spouts when commentating on the Southend games. Help me out someone I want to be abusive but I need the name.

Must be Stuart Smith, should never be let near a mic

 

[RHB]

With huge thanks to @BILLERICAY BLUE for jogging my aged memory I would offer up Stuart Smith of BBC Essex as being the worst thing about BBC Radio. He is, without doubt, the worst commentator it has been my misfortune to tune into on BBC Radio. I could go on, but you get my drift.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

I can't stand Lauren Laverne or Shaun Keavney and feel it is a shame Radcliffe and Maconie have been shunted to weekends.

Lauren Laverne is a goddess.

I got 3 plays on Lamacq's Radio 1 show for a record I put out back in the day by sending him a copy along with a Col U / Man U FA cup programme.

Hope you told him there's only one club in Essex.

 

[OldBlueLady]

The summariser on the Col U games drives us mad - asks their manager the same question in about 5 different ways, and absolutely fawns over McGreal!

Hi Steve hows the show? Same old crap as years ago

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Ken Bruce is a bit of a dinosaur, but far less annoying. Pop master is about the only redeeming feature for me!

As long as the contestant chooses 70's music, i do very well at it!.

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

Must admit, if i'm driving in the afternoon, i have the Steve Wright show on, mainly because their traffic bulletins are very good.
Unlike poky Heart FM, waste of space. And agree with OBL, cant stand Amanda Holden on the breakfast show.
Are Martin & Sue now on BBC Essex in the mornings?. Not that i'd tune in, like many others prefer Smooth or Magic these days ( old git! ).

 

[Benfleet A1]

Just put Radio Caroline on.

 

[RHB]

Just put Radio Caroline on.

Jeez, the memories of that station when doing my paper round with my transitor radio held to my ear have just come flooding back.

 

[Blueronron]

Any one of a certain age would remember Saturday morning was the late great Brian Matthews time,a brilliant voice and tracks many had forgotten,do miss his show so much on Sounds of the Sixties
