What a weekend! First the great win vs Spuds and then whilst still on a high from that, the news is announced that self-absorbed four-eyed ginger git Chris Evans is, at long last, leaving Radio 2. Radio 2 is supposed to be a music station, but Evan's lamentable 'show' was just a couple of hours of him talking about himself in a tiresome 'wacky' style with a couple of fawning Sidekick Simon types giggling along behind him and pumping his enormous inflated ego. Sometimes in the mornings driving to work, I'd forget my MP3 player and have to listen to bloody BBC Radio Oxford in order to avoid Evans. Radio 2 will have got back a listener now, as I'd tuned the car radio away entirely from Radio 2 to avoid him accidentally coming on in the mornings when I turned the key...
I found him easier to listen to as he mellowed with age, (and as I got older). Just remember this thread when the new presenter is announced. The BBC have a gender/race/sexual orientation quota to fulfill these days. The next presenter needs to fit that well before presentation skills come into it.
Agreed. Can't stand him or his irritating face or his irritating voice. TBF I thought TFI Friday was brilliant but that was many moons ago now. Even his leaving announcement (which they played in full today on BBC R5 Live as he is a BBC employee and therefore it is very big news that we will all want to hear in full) was self-indulgent "I need a new mountain to climb" crap !
Big fan then Clive?! The LTA is equally as delicate in this regard. Their latest on line safeguarding course has the above person,only wielding a racket!
First came across him when he did a show on Greater London Radio in the early 90s (before he was famous or on the TV) and back then he was the funniest guy I'd ever heard. Guess a lot can happen in 30 years.
