Johnnie Walker is standing in for Terry Wogan in the mornings just now.
I have to say, I love Johnnie Walker and he really cheered me up yesterday morning with his rendition of "Tulips from Amsterdam".
Anyone else hear it?

I've always respected Johnnie Walker as a fine broadcaster. The mornings are so much better when he stands in for Wogan, and I really miss his weekday afternoon slot.
Shame I missed his rendition.

I have to agree with you 4candles. I most certainly do prefer him to Wogan.

I'm not at all fond of Wogan - he has developed a speech intonation that is not used by anyone else on the planet, with the possible exceptionof Jimmy Young - maybe it's an ageing broadcaster thing?
I really can't do with Johnny Walker. His interminable 'humerous' nonsense with that ludicrous woman who can't read two lines of a traffic bulletin without either slobbering or stuttering, usually both, put me right off him.
True, he does have one of the all tme fabulous radio voices - pity he has so little personality to go with it.

No personality? We'll have to agree to disagree on that Andy [;-)
I admire him for always being his own man, and sticking to his principles when they differed from his employer's.
The greatest memory I have is one lunchtime in 1976. Save Your Kisses For Me had been at No 1 for weeks, and when it came to the Top 5 countdown, he either started it, or didn't play it at all, and then smashed the disc on air.

As I said, I like Johnnie Walker. I think too he has a great personality, so each person to their own opinions. We cannot all like the same things.
Listening to him this morning, it was "She wears red feathers" and I heard him say he had something lined up for tomorrow morning but I missed what that was to be.
I agree with what you say Andy about Terry Wogan. Think it is time for him to retire.

We can agree on that then, Cruella and Andy. Wogan is way past his sell-by date, and is becoming a caricature of himself. Maybe he''ll go in August, when he's 70.
