Yes, Morten Harket said 'fuck' on your show. No, you did not have to badmouth aha at every single given opportunity for the following six months.

"The Organist Entertains" is a quality programme and often forms the soundtrack to my sex life. Long live Nigel Ogden and his collection of massive organs.

Yes. It has become kind of infamous amongst a-ha fans.

radio 4 drama is invariably bollocks.
there are some great docs on R4 though...as http://speechification.com demonstrates.
check out 'don't hang up'
Stumbled across this the other day, very useful.

Can I just say pretty much most morning programmes with opinionated, wanker DJs. Crispy and I have picked one of the most painful ones so we slam off the alarm and get out of bed.
That one with Bam Bam is a particular hate for me.

tbf, I can think of four I've enjoyed in the last 12 years
One involved Johnny Vegas, one involved 12 AA-style (gently humorous) shares (and I subsequently used it at the rehab I worked in) and... and.... there was one about an obsessive bloke with a telescope, and possibly another one starring Johnny Vegas

I was somewhat hooked on Baldi - the detective priest - but the last handful of programmes were a bit pants IMHO.

1xtra has gone down the pan since it's schedule was reorganised a few months ago - no more Jason and Iyare in the morning, Trevor Bloody Nelson on at every opportunity in the morning and in the fri and sat early evening slot which used to be Semtex's mixtape show.
They used to use the weekday 7-9 slot for a specialist show each day e.g. hip hop, dancehall, garage but now it's another bland mix of trying to appeal to a wider audience with all the specialist shows shoved off to middle of the night slots when you're either asleep or out yourself

You definitely wouldn't have enjoyed Christian O'Connell's 15-hour breakfast show today then. How arrogant do you have to be to think "I know what'll be a good way to mark the station's 15th birthday! ME! ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY!"

oh, thought you were dead
I listen to the footy on Radio5 quite a lot, but you've got to be careful 'cos there's so much wrong with what happens either side of it.
Tune in too early on a Saturday and there's Eammon Holmes, with his winning mix of GMTV fuckwittery.
*shudder*
And nothing puts the fear into me more than "after the news, Richard Bacon.."

So many particulars. So many questions.

Christian O'Connell is an unfunny wanker.

Andy Hamilton is a radio god
Yes he is
In fact, he's just generally a god of comedy. I wish he was my dad - he's so smily and funny and cheerful.Jo Caulfield does need to be removed from public broadcasting though. Loathsomely shit and unfunny.
The only andy hamilton thing i did not like was trevors world of sport which he didn,t appear in but the million pound radio show, old harry's game and revolting people superb.nick revel quite good didn't think living with the enemy would work with that tory git brandrith but it did

The Million Pound Radio Show was ace! My dad's got loads of them on tape, I would borrow them but I'm not allowed anymore after I lost all his cassettes of If You're So Clever, Why Aren't You Rich

The Cake of Liberty
The BBC London Breakfast show with Joanne Good. Her co-presenter, Paul Ross is fine but Jo Good has to be one of the worst presenters anywhere. She is always getting things wrong, like recently claiming all owls were blind! She has totally irrational/ indefensible dislikes such as cyclists. She never listens to guests and people who phone in, often asking them a question which they've just answered. I've no idea how come she's been there so long.

Well I can't listen to any radio with ads on, which cuts the choice down a bit. Have found R4 toooo annoying to listen to as well, apart from the weekly trawl through the Listen Again page which does bring gems.
I'll say it again, though, BBC7 Listen Again is superb. I now have a treasured collection of Goons, Tony Hancock, PG Wodehouse, Just William, Charles Dickens, Conan Doyle, Brontes, Agatha Christie, Steve Coogan, Wilkie Collins, Oscar Wilde,etc etc.
There's some life changing stuff on there - for example last Tuesday's Martyn Wade play about Hermit Lucas, the "celebrated Victorian hermit".

I love the crime and thrillers hour, especially when there's some Kathleen Turner-led VI Warshawski on.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Just about any 'Global Radio' station, especially Capital & Heart, which are basically national stations pretending to be local.
New OFCOM rules means they only have to have one 3 hour 'local' show a day Mon-Fri, the other 21 hours & 24 hours at weekends can all be networked from London. And, 'local' is taking the piss with the new 'approved areas', which means, for example, Heart Kent, Heart Surrey, Heart Sussex, and Heart Solent will share one 3 hour show from Fareham in Hampshire, with everything else from London.
RIP local commercial radio.
