As a nocturnal driver I used to listen to Lester quite a lot, but I have to admit I’m more of a 5Live man these days. Did anyone used to listen to Ian Collins on Talksport? Used to really enjoy his show, along with George Galloway (although not necessarily agreeing with everything he said). These presenters used to be intelligent and worth listening to, shame they decided to go ‘24 hour sport-only’ and subject us to Andy Goldstein & Jason Cundy
Yeah Talksport has gone really pants now. Its more like Liverpool FC radio! Micky who?!
That Georgie Bingham needs her neck ringing to stop her terrible squawking and what is the point of Adrian Durham, Gough & Johnny Vaughn?!
Tosh the lot of 'em!
As for Lester, he deserves his slot, get rid of Feltz deffo!
I like Alex Lester, I “get” his humour. Listened to him as usual and as usual once the 5am news came on I searched for any station but Radio 2, well imagine my sense of outrage when I tuned back at 6.31 to hear the ginger one thank Sara Cox for the last hour and a half!
Bloody BBC, you’d think they’d advertise when a Feltz free day was coming up, to boost the listening figures if nothing else.
I’m more bothered that Richard Allinson is losing his slot all together, I just don’t get Alex Leicester’s humour, maybe it’s the age difference? If I’m on shift early enough I tend to listen to 5live up all night, I find it more interesting.
Found this tweet from earlier on Alex Lester’s twitter.
@chrisbatt3 @LesBatt Being moved to the weekend because of budget cuts. 3-5am will be repeats instead. #Besttimeofthedayshow
So he’s been pushed out then! Regardless of whether you like Alex Lester or not, his show is a decades old institution enjoyed by hundreds & thousands of license fee paying night shift workers who have very little else to choose from on BBC radio in terms of a live interactive music radio show. I think it’s pretty poor really for what is supposed to be a public service to fob these listeners off with repeats, it stinks of a decision made by out of touch suit wearing 9-5ers thinking nighttime shows are an easy target because most people won’t notice.
Last time I was up driving at that hour Slap my Top was the slogan. You saw slap my top written on the back of lorries a lot. Really stupid but somehow at that hour passed the time. Used to hear Mo dutter on Sat early a when running in. Played decent music.
That feltz is a pompous ■■■■■■■ bison. Mind you when I used to listen to it they had that other posh bint Sarah Kennedy. Don’t listen to radio 2 much. It’s all the same every day. Listen to confessions on mayo but that’s it otherwise radio 4 or iPod and podcasts.
■■■■ no.
ALAN is 100 times the presenter of that cow with the STGO lunch box.
I ■■■■■■■ HATE Feltz and it’s radio 4 as soon as she opens her gob.
It’s a little known fact that no one knows what Feltz sounds like without a gobful of pies and cakes
Alan?
I enjoy listening to Alex Lester and recently heard Richard A on the weekend early morning. Found they seem to have a acceptable music/talk mix… Quite enjoy ken bruce as well as he seems to keep the music playing. Commercial stations I listen to gold when I can pick it up as the mix of songs seems big. How’s people finding the heart stations since they changed from real? (Recently changed for Manchester), I find I can cope with the presenters better but the music variety ■■■■■! Which is ironic considering their slogan!
PS anyone used to listen to capital life (later just ‘life’). In its later years had pure music with no presenter and just a couple of ad’s And news at the hour.
Does this mean ALAN is going to stop getting written in the dirt on the back of my trailer ?
I think it’s the government’s fault!
Think the tv licence should be abolished as most of wot is on the bbc and channel 4 is crap, even bbc news has went down hill
Denis F:
Face book group Iink in my sig
petition signed, thankyou, checkout my signature anyhow… LOL
Freight Dog:
Alan?
Does he mean ‘■■■■’?
Might have a slogan day tomorrow as tomorrow’s trailer is scared of the wash lol,
Could be “ALAN till september” so if you see a poundland trailer up the m6 towards bolton after 5am its me lol.
Fatty feltz= pompous ■■■■■■■ bison lmao
Feltz’s listening figures are poor, her audience appreciation score is dire. However the BBC in their righteous PC way will not get rid as she is female and over 50, it may be seen as discrimination.
Alex Lester apparently gets over 200,000 more listeners than any rival commercial show.
SAVE ALEX LESTER
Get rid of that ingratiating, nauseating and patronising Feltz.
And PLEASE no repeats on OUR radio.
I like radio 2 the way it is. I only listen before 5 am and after 5 pm. I switch off before feltz and and after wright. The in between dung is worthy of air play. Even womens hour beats that ■■■■.
My choices are limited. Very poor Internet and digital signals in Dumfries and Galloway.
There is contractors working in Sanquhar replacing Telecoms cabinets just now. The talk is it is to help with faster Broadband maybe that will help the signal Happy. Eddie.
What is it with Janice long, still living in some parallel dimension where echo and the bunnymen, icicle works and all that depressing late eighties drivel still call the shots with that imbecile? (Keith chegwins her brother apparently) nuff said.
The advent of feltz and evans tolled the death knell for rad 2 in my humble, it’s gone from jocks and jockesses you would happily share a dram with to the new batch I for one would love to get busy with a can of petrol and a zippo on.
JO whiley fronts a show vacated by two of englands finest, maconie and radcliffe, and in return we get a show of the most boring, celeb arse licking its possible to imagine.‘‘phone us , tell us what your doing’’ type of deal, she’s like some ageing groupie forever trying to look cool by association with an endless carousel of talentless wispy bearded drones, with outsize egos.Still compared with that utter moron zoe ball, she’s a genius.
Lesters a good man and iv’e enjoyed his company for many a year but the signs of ennui and staleness are becoming apparent lately, bit of a cultural bed blocker along with brucie and that ilk.Britain does’nt appear to have the ability to find anything original and fresh anymore it’s an endless procession of retreads and egomaniacs on 2 these days, even the newsreaders sound like programmed drones and that utter ■■■■■■■■ derm leery still occupies 3 hoursvof prime saturday time with his own brand of guff and ■■■■■■■■■■ me strength.
