Have you noticed that some shows on Radio 2 sound better when a stand-in hosts it!
Sarah Kennedy > > > Alex Lester / Aled Jones / Richard Allinson
Wake Up to Wogan > > > Johnnie Walker
Steve Wright > > > Mark Radcliffe
Chris Evans > > > Stuart Maconie
Dermot O'Leary > > > Pete Mitchell
Sunday Love Songs > > > Richard Allinson / Lulu
Elaine Paige > > > Paul O'Grady
Johnnie Walker (Sunday) > > > Richard Allinson
I wonder if the audience figures go up/down for the above shows whenever the stand-ins are in place? Anyway, the only time I really listen to the above programmes is when the stand-ins are hosting them. They sound so much better (in my opinion).
Any thoughts?
p.s. This topic is not for the purpose of slagging off Sarah Kennedy and Chris Evans! |

Hi Scott. I don't usually listen to the first six shows, so I won't comment. I prefer Elaine to Paul O'Grady (in this musical spot) and Johnnie Walker has my full attention on Sunday. The last two shows with Eric Clapton and then Don Henley from The Eagles were rare treats indeed! I'd like to hear Richard Allinson back on Saturday afternoons, but I doubt La Douglas would sanction it, as it would please lots of listeners and Dermot and the so-called comedy hour would be history! |

This applies to almost anyone who stands in for Steve Wright or Elaine Paige.

I'm sorry but I think Chris Evans is way way better than Stuart Maconie who I find lacks the warmth of a good radio host (only my opinion) |

If Walker sounds better than Wogan on brekkie, and Allinson better than Walker on the Sunday slot, don't you just mean Allinson would be better than Wogan?!!!
I disagree with most of the choices, but (surprise surprise) agree with Maconie at 5. The guy is a warm host, this particularly shows on his Saturday show when he chats to people. Hopefully his retro quiz will be reinstated soon!!! |

Anyone who sits in for Wright, Evans and Kennedy gets a thumbs-up from me! _________________ He's not the Messiah- he's a very naughty boy! |

If we include Wogan and Bruce in the above list then I agree as well. |
