I think it's been fairly good but still plenty of room for improvement.

Its good. Nice to not get called old by my work colleagues like I used to for listening to radio2 before Chris came to brekkie show.

It's great not having Sarah Kennedy's nagging voice waking you up any more.

The worst thing about the show is the news, it's just a joke.

I disagree. News is better apart form he shouldlet the more serius news go first and then let him interupt stories like britneys sham marriage, chicken robber etc.

I have enjoyed listening to Chris in the morning actually. Although unlike Monday morning when the alarm clock was set I havent regiously been listening. I like the Car Park feature along with the track he plays before people get sick of it! Good to see Tedious link back as well! Like MC has said, there is room for improvement and its still early days. Have partically enjoyed hearing about the Wogan thing as well!

Nah, the sooner they drop that the better. Chris should talk about the stories AFTER the bulletin and not during it. It kind of sounds a farce when he can joke about a burglar in a chicken suit and then Dominic leads into a story about someone being killed etc.

Dom + Jules are good on news and sport though. I presume Jules reads sport on lunchtime newsbeat and Chappers does it in the afternoons so what's happened to Garrido? Is he back on the subs bench again?

Exactly thats why I said leave it how it is but get the more serious news out of the way first then let Chris interupt less important news.

I think he was on the news earlier today so might just be doing weekends now.

it's much better for me, to wake up to chris, than rubbishy cox, i used to just turn my alarm onto the buzzer thing instead of radio, she bores me, i used to just go back to sleep! I think the new shows are great :)
