Just in case you were wondering it seems that Chris wil be next on holiday the week starting monday may 11,probably for 2 weeks as usual.I assume Scott will be doing the show with hisown team as normal.Its later than usual because the tv show doesnt finish til then.

Greg would be absolutely fine.

I'd like to hear Greg do the breakfast show as well. I never get to listen to his normal show and would be interested to see how he would come across on main breakfast. I wonder if he's done enough to "earn his stripes" with the powers that be yet...

Mind you I still haven't got over Grimshaw replacing Colin Murray, so my faith in their decisioning powers isn't great at the moment.

I think it's going to be Mills as usual as that team are all having a week off in turn. Chappers last week, one that doesnt speak this week and Becky next week. (Yes I know listening to Mills is not something to admit to on here!)

I like Greg as well, I just hope they don't do to him what they did to Clive Warren (of whom Chris praised in his first book as been under appreciated, much like Kevin Greening as well)

Hopefully Greg gets the same breaks a Moyles as I think he's really good on air :)

Exactly the same here. Although Scott would be a long way behind the other two.

Please anyone else but Scott, his voice sets my teeth on edge and as for his sidekick Mogadon Man Chappers, his "cheery" manner is enough to push anyone over the edge. Greg James everytime.

Chappers is great when he is with Dave, but there is nothing good about the Mills experience.

I tried the Mills thing again this week to see if things had improved..........................




My considered opinion is that my local radio stations are really good in the afternoon.

Radio 2 is far far better.

It wasn't when I was listening. I did try Radio 2 for a bit as well but it was something tedious at the time. I eventually plumped for Radio 4 to be honest there was an interesting programme about books.

Try Radcliffe & Maconie on Radio 2, that's a great show :)

I love Radcliffe and Maconie and I particularly love that it doesn't clash with Colin's show (well, however much of it left there is). Chris Evans' show is very good, I don't get to listen to Steve Wright though, as I'm at work, so I don't know what that's like.

Steve Wright's show is good. It can be quite cheesy in some places with silly sound effects and his old-school 'deejay' voice, but in a way that's part of his charm. He gets lots of good interviews and sounds like he's genuinely having a good laugh every day with his team - which is the most important thing to do, really.
