...Spoony and Vernon presenting the Official Chart Show.

Come back Wes, all is forgiven.

[jameseuk]

spoony doin the chart is bad.

Vernon is ok though.

[DemonHorse]

Spoony is better than Vernon he proved that when he filled in for Mills this week. He's been class, played some great tunes in The Wonder Years friday , and some good comedy moments

Can you go and tell Sir Bob Geldof to keep it down a bit? I'm tryin to do a radio show here

I'll admit he sucked at Who the Hell Are You? though.

I still don't see why people hate him more than I hate Mills or Cox. He's very underrated. Maybe everyone remembers him only as "that bloke from the Dreem Teem" or something?

[Jono]

Last week with Colin and Jo was far better.

[Uglybob]

spoony doin 606 is worse

"when i looked at the fixture, i thought northern ireland would hammer canada 4-0"

obviously been watching northern irelands great goalscoring exploits then

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

he got the job because he plays golf with some footballers and supports the red sh*te.

its all the qualifications you need.

[cjthepembsdj]

why did wes leave??

[Uglybob]

he didnt, they got rid of him.

[Mafro]

Radio 1 needed to get rid of someone to make space for their beloved Coxy's return, so they chose Wes.

[Nicky]

This week its gonna be Scott and Nemone.

Should be interesting.

[Jono]

Anythings gotta be better than the Vernon/Spoony duo. Hopefully it'll be as good as Colin & Jo

[Jonny Hoare]

I thought the Chuckle Brothers are doing the chart....

[David]

they are come March

[Jonny Hoare]

How hard is it to run down numbers
They can count cant they?

harsh isnt it - he was a good DJ!

[Ickle Angel]

Probably not

[Uglybob]

spoony is fighting mark bosnich in the fight

[DemonHorse]

Yeah they musta mistaken his voice (and talent) for that of Scott

but why bring back Coxy anyways? Surely Moyle's better ratings in the morning and Mill's in the afternoon (don't know if they're higher... anyone?) would be a sign they're doing something right. At least they didn't decide to put her on the one music show.

[M&S]

they need some more female voices, but i find coxy less entertaining and clever on radio than she was on the big breakfast.

[Uglybob]

yes, but not token females. the female has to be competent and interesting

[M&S]

i agree with that, but i think through interviews sara cox and other projects that she has he capability of being an interesting female lead but i feel that her radio on air persona is being moulded to appear to the younger 'ladette' market which may not be catered for by other jocks.

lets remember however, that not every listener of radio 1 posts is mainly male and in their late teens to 20's.

[MC]

yes, but not token females. the female has to be competent and interesting

yeah - like someone like Vicky Marsden.

Oh no thats right, they let her go...
