Craig Charles standing in for Steve Wright today, Radio 2 between 2pm & 5pm. Now Radio 2 is an old gits/middle of ths road station which plays today's modern /current chart stuff with a good sprinkling of old tunes from the 1960's onwards.
Craig Charles disregards this & just plays what he likes......mainly funk/disco/r&b.. That is not his remit. He already has his own show I believe on a sat eve where he plays this rubbish, sorry, diversified music. He should not be able to inflict it on all the middle if the road cronies like mysel on a weekday afternoon.
(This is not saying that Steve Wright is any good)......just that since his programme started this afternoon he's not played anything near classed as "middle of the road". He did try by playing "Rocking all over the world" by Credence Clearwater Revival ....which is at least better than the Status Quo version.....but that was only because it was on his "cover by a different bruver /muvva" section......
I wonder how long will I'll have to wait for a Beatles/Simon & Garfunkel/Spandau/Oasis or Coldplay track.
Yep,when he came on I went to absolute 80s......otherwise the brushes and roller would be in the van very early

Rather him than Steve Wright pumping out the same old shitty jokes he was doing thirty years ago and more.
Haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if it's already on here, but footballers chatting with their hands in front of their mouths. Are they discussing state secrets? It looks ridiculous.
The clammer to equalise the "gender pay gap" and to have more women in certain jobs. It should hd the best person for the role & they command the fee they get.
Radio 2 decided they wanted more women on the daytime airwaves. Disrupted a very good drivetime show by bringing in Jo Whiley to "co-host" with Simon Mayo. Didnt work & was never going to work. Upshot is Simon Mayo is leaving........but Jo Whiley is not doing it on her own but moving back to her original 7pm slot, with a yet un-named person (v likely a women) to take over the drivetime show.
well done the beeb !!! How to alienate your listeners to satisfy a few righteous souls. I'm off to complain that there aren't enough middle aged white men dj'ing in nightclubs & want to equalise the balance.
If there was any natural justice they'd drop them in the urinal.
I once ended a work telephone conversation when the bloke calling told me he was in the loo. Why fecking ring me up when you're about to take a dump you animal???

I noted last weeks 'Have I got news for you', had a majority of female participants. Jo Brand, Grace Dent and Kiri Pritchard-McLean.
The BBC may have ticked one brief by employing more women, but they completely missed out on the other, i.e. making a program that is funny.
