Couperman Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Just seen this ***linky dinky*** Terry is stepping down from the brekky show to be replaced by Chris Evans. I do like Terry but I think Chris will do a great job. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 What will we do in the morning without the Janet and John stories Although, I think that Chris Evans is doing a grand job on drive time, so will be an excellent replacement for Sir Tel. I wonder who will take over the drive time slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I wonder who will take over the drive time slot It says it that article possibly Simon Mayo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Have they got rid of that annoying windbag who's on before Terry yet. I refuse to listen to her, saying that it's been a while since I listened to anything at that time of the day Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 It's the end of an era but he had to go sometime - he is 71 after all. I love Terry's show but am looking forward to Chris Evans who has matured into a brilliant presenter I think. Loving Aled Jones at the moment who is standing in for Sarah Kennedy - would be good if that was permanent ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 OH likes Aled Jones and Tel. Not sure how he feels about Chris Evans though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 It'll be the end of more than an era! I used to listen to Terry every morning while I was still at primary school. Now I have a daughter at university and my youngest has started secondary school! The mornings just won't be the same - he's always been there!

Space Chick Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I don't mind Sarah Kennedy, but do like Aled Jones a lot Its Steve Wright that I can't stand, he's a pompous irritating little man, and he's not funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I was gutted when I heard, and nearly in tears when he made the announcement on his show this morning I can't stand Chris Evans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yes it's here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8241101.stm you can listen to the announcement. sob sob I shall miss him and Claret you're right .....

The Dogmother Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 El Tel is the only one I can bear to listen to in the morning; I loathe commercial radio and find other jocks annoying with their banter. How will I manage? I don't watch telly, so it's the only time I get to listen to the news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Terry has never done a lot for me - either back when I was in secondary school and my mother had Radio 2 on (30 odd years ago!) or now when I occasionally hear him if I'm in the car at that time. Didn't like Chris Evans in his Radio One years but he's grown on me in recent years, I think he'll do well on the breakfast show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I loved Chris Evans on Radio 1 Breakfast, adored him on Virgin & have listened to Virgin (now Absolute) since he was on . His appointment to R2 may even tempt me to listed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I tend to have Radio 4 on instead of Steve Wright but Radio 2 the rest of the time, and OH insists on the radio coming on as an alarm in the morning on Radio 4 for Farming Today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 When I was younger I never liked El Tel and used to laugh at his array of toupees but I guess we just grew old together and I grew into him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Listening live to Chris Evans - he just played the Wogan announcement and now I'm dancing round the room to "The Floral Dance". I love Wogan but I@m rather fond of Chris Evans too. I have to say I was in floods of tears when Chris Tarrent left Captial Radio and that was what sent me back to Wogan! Mind you I still know all the words to the "Hobart Tasmania" jingle!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'm in a minority, I know, but I can't stand Terry Wogan . Just a snippet of his voice makes me change station immediately . Don't like Chris Evans either . I listen to Radio Five Live - during the week there's little to no sport so suits me fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I'm in a minority, I know, but I can't stand Terry Wogan . I can't either, the constant innuendo and non funny smutty names he quotes gets on my nerves, every day is exactly the same - I do listen for the good traffic reports though! I thought his speech was a bit much to be honest, he still has nearly three months to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 The school run in the morning without the Janet and John stories just won't be the same I'm sure people must wonder what on earth I am laughing at I shall miss Old Tel but I do quite like Chris Evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejmum Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I absolutely love Chris Evans AND he keeps chickens too, the perfect man! I remember when he did the radio one breakfast show and I would drive to work listening to him and laughing my head off, great music too! I would always drive past loads of people also laughing, good times, cant wait! I like Terry but he kind of washes over me, Chris will wake me up and get me going I know it! Yipee!
