I don't get the feature. I understand that it's a piss take of local radio but it's just done in a really dull and unfunny way.

[MC]

I understand that it's a piss take of local radio

I think it is something to do with the fact that Capital FM in London are/were doing a big thing called the £25,000 London Sound. I think it was just basically meant to be a piss-take of that.

[Sidders]

Well that's so * funny here in Sheffield...

[Mcqueen_]

Maybe he is loosing it.

Teaming up with all the celebs including Basil Brush to sing on New Years Eve. Ananova> Dunno if this has been mentioned elsewhere.

[Ahh_Pathetic]

boom boom, good game good game, cheap as chips, burp.

losing it my arse. its a dream job.

[Lew]

wow, they should do another live aid

thats right, get bob geldof and his REAL celebrity chums on the phone

in aid of the poor saps doing that record to help rebuild their careers which will surely be shattered after such a lame collaboration

They did it on all local stations on the mix network, that makes me think will there be a radio 1 mystery afternoon santa?

I live in Sheffield and thought if was funny. Indeed we don't have any Capital stations but others like Radio Sheffield used to do a thing in the morning called the 'voice vault' where you had to phone up and guess the celebraty, which was crap.

[Sidders]

This is why I don't listen to tinpot radio.

[Splodge]

Most stations in the UK have this Mystery Sound/Voice item, and we understand that it is a mickey take of this. But surely something better can be put in its place. It's a predictible feature which wouldn't be so bad in some cases, but it is done without any fun or imagination. And if the 25p prize is meant to be the humourous bit then it confirms all whats wrong about it.

Mystery Afternoon sound played

Caller rings up

Mystery Sound Played again

Caller Answers

Gets it right

Wins 25p

Gets asked 'What's your favourite station?'

Rubbish.

[Sidders]

I totally agree. It would be good if it was done in a funny way, but there's absoluetly nothing funny about it. They havn't done it so far this week though, so hopefully it's been dropped.

[Dopey]

and moved to breakfast

[Nicky]

Because "Mystery afternoon sound" would fit really well on breakfast... :p

[jimmy g]

This is why I don't listen to tinpot radio.

Well maybe you should so you find this feature more amusing.

[Sidders]

It's a crap feature! I don't understand why it was invented! It's the sort of thing I'd do on cassette tapes when I was 6.

[Adam]

Its good. Now stop moaning about it. :rolls:

[Lew]

Adam you arrogant f*cker

[Ahh_Pathetic]

can i just applaud that comment. it does seem like there are some who see fit to patronise a lot on here.

now play nicely kids...

[Adam]

Its funny and clearly takes the piss out of local radio. I really like the feature. There's nothing wrong about it I think. Just don't like the way 'Local' Stations milk a competition for a example. They will do it whatever the value of money - either £1 or £1million pounds.

i nearly got through to be on the afternoon mystery sound.......

now thats better Adam

suggesting why you think its good rather than TELLING everyone its good because you think you are always right is a big step for you, eh?

So I'm not entitled to my opinion? You're clearly entitled to yours.

As I've said I know it is trying to take the piss out of local radio, but it's just not funny. There's nothing added to it to try and make it amusing. As Splodge said it's just far to predictable.

Of course you are.

Did you find it amusing at first and then it worn off on you?

[Sidders]

The first one was funny because of the whole business with the Irish dude who didn't understand why 'dog' was wrong. I found it funny at the time but now I don't get why 'dog' was wrong because they've never been as specific since then.

[Lew]

Its good. Now stop moaning about it. :rolls:

i think this is the comment bothering Sidla Adam, and it did sound to me like you were not letting anyone else have an opinion as well.
