Are 44 and 35-year-old women too old to DJ on Radio One?

Annie Nightingale? She is 67 and still playing breaks on Radio 1 - albeit at some godforsaken hour in the middle of the night as far as I know....

Is she still waffling on about her son all the time? Or going to clubs with 'the primals'.

 

[braindancer]

Oh and Marie Anne Hobbs must be mid-forties too.... and for my money has the best show on Radio 1 - in fact the best show on the BBC full stop. She is a wee bit annoying but she plays the freshest tunes and hers is the only radio show that I religiously listen to every week.

Edited to add: Ah, I see Mazza has already been mentioned.

 

[braindancer]

The music is spot on which is why I want to stab her when she starts talking as if she's moonlighting on a sex line.

"Ahhhh, absolutely exquisite...."

It's alright Dave, I'm just wondering whether Dillinger should know about your fantasies.

wait, wat?

he would probabley love it.

I almost certainly will.

Pete Tong, Westwood and Steve Lamacq are on there and they're not exactly young.

It's a shame - I'd still like to listen radio 1 because it is the only BBC station that does much in the way of electronic/dance music, but they're gradually getting rid of anything and everything half decent. I still like Rob Da Bank (tho much preferred the Blue Room format to his current show) and Mary Anne Hobbs is definitely worthwhile. Huw Stephens is okay too.

Yeah, Rob Da Bank is really good. I like him a lot.
