Chris Evans Leaving Radio 2
53 Answers
Was anyone else shocked this morning to hear Chris Evans announce that he is leaving Radio 2 at the end of this year. I regularly listen to his breakfast show in the mornings. I wonder who they will choose to take over from him, any suggestions?

In view of the utter car crash that is the BBC's 'vision' of Drivetime, they need to be really really careful to get this right.
Of course, that won't stop them making another total mess of it, thanks to their ongoing perception of whom the public want, as opposed to whom the actually want - Patrick Kielty again springs to mind!
What they may do is give it to Cox or Ball, both of whom have filled in, and in my view are dreadful, Cox failed miserably at Radio One's Breakfast.
What they also may do is give it to that personality-free guy from Strictly, who will ruin it, or the execrable Craig Charles who hopefully will refuse because he is a night bird.
If they are clever, they will offer Simon Mayo whatever he wants to do Breakfast, it will get him away from that harridan at tea time, and give the listeners a safe and secure future as Breakfast fans.
There is a clear choice in Mayo, but the BBC do like to think that 'Auntie knows best …' God help us!

Aaaaaggghhhh!!!!
Not ruddy Craig Charles, PLEASE!!!
Listening to his show is the aural equivalent of watching your dad dance at a disco. i.e. a middle-aged man trying to prove that he's still 'hip' (or whatever the current term is).
The Dark Lord is far too good to be hidden away on BBC WM. He was by far the best presenter on Radio 2 before his show was axed 'in the interests of economy', so my nomination for the Radio 2 breakfast slot definitely has to be the mighty Alex Lester.

He may be completely charming, and utterly fragrant, but whenever I hear him on the radio, I can't escape the image that his breath smells of stale cigarettes, and he clothes smell of stale beer.
