Viaduct is old.

It was lame when it came back last year and to bring it back again would just be stupid.

I am holding out hope for Dave to come up with a brilliant new feature instead...

yeah i agree there, to be honest i don't think enough people were texting in, so they changed to a % so no one could tell how many people txted in or not..

buzz off is poor in my opinion,

they should think up some new features instead of just bringing back old ones ie viaduct.

as long as they don't bring back that feature where some people would call up and chris would gargal down the phone at them and they had to guess what song it was.

In my opinion scrap buzz off and bring back the mystery afternoon/morning sound or the monday surgery

I recon they should only keep Half Time.

They nees to come up with another feature that allows them to diviate from the playlist.

Sebbywood is right, they should axe all three as they have all been on since the start of the breakfast show, and some were from Afternoon.

Tedious Link has to go, it started as a funny rip-off of a Jo Whiley feature, but it is still here 2 years later, and songs are starting to get a second and third play.

CPC is occasionally funny but has become stale and Buzz Off is a pointless waste of time.

The whole football ticket thing was a joke aswell, they chopped and changed it so many times at the start of the season - now they have a text in vote thing which just lacks imagination.

I switch off when Rob DJ's Pub Quiz comes on as it seems to be a waste of an hour.

Secret Student is simply awful.

Half Time is good but surely they can come up new features and other ways to play non-playlisted songs, cause it seems the creativity has leaked out of the show.

I agree about the pub quiz bit. How is people doing a quiz entertaining? They seem to think it is genius though.

CPC has had it's day. OK you get the occasional divvy, but for the most its not worth listening to. They should have a "competition/phone in" style quiz each day though.

Never liked Buzz off so that should go. I'd keep tedious link though.

Personally i would only want Tedious Link to stay if firstly, Dave actually chose from a more wider range of songs as some tracks get second or third plays. Also, the link needs to be challenged more but i put that down to Rachel as Will would do so in the afternoons and he also did so when he filled in for Rachel the other week.

CPC needs to go as i agree with many on here in that it can be occassionally brilliant but its had its day. I'm so bored of it now that i switch after the 9:30 news.

Buzz Off should go too as i've never liked it since the Buzz On texting got introduced and i can't enjoy any track he plays anyway because he talks all over it.


Rob DJ's Monday Night Pub Quiz is piss poor and i've never liked it.

The only current feature i actually really like is Half Time

lol, basically they talk rubbish for about 5/10 minutes about general stuff or something on the show earlier. probably the funniest bit in the show (jo wiley sandwich is still my favourite)

They definatly need to replace Buzz Off with something though- as when Buzz Off finishes i know its time to get out of the door.
But i think it will do as it used to be 'Been arund the world' in the days of the Cox and 'Zoe's Angels' in the days of zoe ball.

I hope they get rid of Carpark Catchphrase and think of something new. Rachel said it would be back but Chris seemed to hint otherwise. I sure will miss Roy Walker though, how's he gonna pay for his holidays now?!
