Apparently the Beeb have recently conducted a survey asking for the 10 things that Radio 2 listeners like the most. They announced the results last week but I didn't catch them all due to my incredulity taking over because number 3 was Trevor Nelson standing in for Ken Bruce, and one of the other most likes (quite high in the top 10 - number 2 I think) was the change to more dance music during the daytime. I think Steve Wright's "Serious Jockin'" also got a mention at about number 7 !
So it looks like we either change to another station or we have to put up with this crap for the foreseeable future.

Who the hell decided that it would be a good idea to mess up the format of Simon Mayo's programme and dump this Whiley woman into it. Ruined my drive home from work. God she's terrible. A perfectly good format ruined. Why!! I can only think they keep her on in order to keep their female quota up Chuffed. It’s worse than listening to my old lady rattling on. Mind you, Harry’s right you probably still would.

Feltz, by far and away the most annoying cunt of a dj/host anywhere, a complete moron that preaches to her bbc wet dream white middle class home county moron followers. Can’t do with her big words arsehole voice... followed closely by Steve ‘kiss arse’ wright. That man sinks lower and lower with each show Feltz is not the most annoying DJ. She is not even the most annoying Human. She is actually the most annoying life form, I actually hate her more than I hate penguins.

Yep, the Beeb have probably had a fair number of complaints so they've decided to say how popular these shows are in an effort to try to make people just accept them. Well my missus has decided that she (and by that I mean WE) isn't listening to R2 anymore ! She's just undecided which station to change to yet.

Completely agree with the Steve Wright thing total load of rubbish.

Waking up to heavy metal nonono sir Terry wogan will probably be turning in his grave With Chris Evans show I actually slightly dislike his "style" even more than the music and I really can't stand that. Trevor Nelson, Steve Wright, and Whiley I think are bloody awful DJ's. Trevor Nelson's music is bloody awful with loads of dance stuff, Whiley has absolutely taken over and completely ruined Simon Mayo's show, and Steve Wright is your cocky, "unfunny", geezer type and his music generally is tripe, but his "Serious Jockin" slot must surely take the award for being the biggest load of sh*te on the radio. Still according to the Beeb the listeners love it all.

Chris Evans is the same wank every day.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday.
How do you like your eggs in the morning.
Papa loves mambo.
Good morning Britain, and welcome to another day on planet earth.
FUCK OFF.
And Serious Jockin is absolute cancer, fuck off you simple-minded moron.

I can only think it's a concerted effort by someone in power to destroy radio 2. For past reference, see Michael Grade + Doctor Who.
Steve Wright? The biggest sycophant on the planet. Chris Evans? Known in our house as GT (rhymes with ninja dosser).
And now what was the pearl of their programming, Simon Mayo, has had his entire show ruined. I'm afraid I've left radio 2, probably never to go back.
Until I can afford to have a dab radio fitted to the car, it's a mix of radio 4 + radio 5 for me.
And to answer a question i haven't been asked, no i wouldn't. Well, maybe I would but the risk of Mrs Q ripping off my Terry Esticles if she found out is too gruesome to risk it.

Just tuned in for a quick listen to Simon Mayo's programme. What on earth is going on. This Whiley woman has to go along with whoever picks the noise. Dreadful. I'm assuming that Mayo is on holiday, christ she's awful, all in the name of political correctness. I hate to disagree with you Chuffed but she was excellent on her own show which was the best offering from Radio 2. The guy who's on with her now is working a treat and it's far better then Mayo & Wiley. Blame the idiot who put the two of them together. She excels at interviewing musicians and playing music and the current format isn't the right vehicle for her.

She was very good on her own show- the right mix of music in the right evening slot. It worked + she very much made it her own. She's a disaster on drivetime, though. Maybe it's nerves taking on an iconic slot but her yacking overpowers Simon Mayo + their banter seems very strained. The mix of music doesn't work for drivetime to my ears, either. And worst of all, I miss Wednesdays' Doctor Mosh. Used to fire me up on the drive to my weekly bowling league.

I'll take your word that she was ok as a solo presenter as I never tuned in to anything that she did. But she needs airlifting out of Mayo's programme and quickly in my opinion. His book club slot has gone which was always interesting.

There is no truth on Goggle Box, Just opinionated freaks who don't deserve air time It's 'their' truth and if enough of them have the same 'truth' it exhibits a level of public opinion that's difficult to ignore. If all of the 'viewers' were to contradict the findings of the BBC 'survey' then I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that the validity of such a survey would be called into question. I can't believe I've just been arsed to explain that.
