Just been listening to that on the way home. Not bad.

I've said to others before, she's a sort of "Terry Wogan light" - no one can be as good as Sir Terry, but I think she's the nearest thing we have at the moment. I don't listen to the morning show these days, but I suspect this would be a good slot for Ms Tarbuck.

The variety of specialist programmes for which it was so well known and made it such an excellent station are slowly being marginalised or removed completely.
Yep, they're trying to make it into Radio 1. And that's not a good thing.
Strange thing is though that after years of being completely unlistenable, Radio 1 is slowly starting to be something which I include in my channel hopping.
