This week and for the first time, I saw a photo of Alex Lester and I couldn't believe how young he is. He sounds much older and I still haven't got over the shock! |

You tell me! It was on the Radio 2 web page and then I saw another one in the Radio Times - double shock! |

Alex does look very young, he’s 52 and a ˝ but looks about 40-ish, he has hair like an explosion in a mattress factory, and is a little soggy around the mid –section. (makes him very cuddly). He has razor-sharp wit, and a voice like warm honey being poured over sizzling bacon, before being served fresh every day on a bed of roses.

It was good to hear the Dark Lord bringing his Swirling Cess-pool of Filth to a wider audience this morning when he sat in for the Tog-Meister...

And a vast improvement on the tired "same-old" that WUTW has descended to recently. |

I wondered who it was when I put the radio on just before the 9 o'clock news. What happened to Wogan? |

Off all over Christmas with his pre record on Christmas Day, comes back Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and off New Years Day, then decides to take an extra day off. Was it to much Brandy or did the house burn down again. ... I know you can't broadcast without a voice. |

Maybe its time for Wogan to retire.
I for one think he should go soon. |
