Shittest opening link ever. I nearly switched the radio off.

[John22]

I kept on falling asleep and waking up, but what I heard, i liked.

[Latina]

I needed to get up at 6.30 today so listened from the start, and couldn't stop laughing.

Is Aled always going to be in from the beginning now or is this just a temporary thing?

[nicowoodcock]

Temporary while Rachel is on her honeymoon.

[Yudster]

Aled will be back on days after the holiday period.

[Johnny 1989]

Shame Aled isn't going to be in the studio at the beginning anymore when Rachel returns, can't he start a bit earlier instead of the time he does now?

[J.E.D]

I have really enjoyed listening to Aled rather than Rachel in the Mornings he is so much funnier!!

[McGuinness-89]

It seems I am the only one who actually prefers Rachel.I do like Aled but the ignorance he showed this morning,put on or not really annoys me.

[Johnny 1989]

I do like Rachel but I find Aled's lack of knowledge on certain subjects (whether put on or not) rather funny, that was proved in the 2003 shows that I listened to recently

[McGuinness-89]

Don't get me wrong it's comedy gold,but it's also infuriating.

[anteater73]

the ob stuff was actually a bit of a rip off of the stuff Chris Morris did on radio 1 a few years ago. Still quite funny though!

[McGuinness-89]

Chris Morris was on Radio 1?

[Latina]

^Yup, he had a programme called Blue Jam in the mid-nineties from what I remember.

[McGuinness-89]

Just googled it and you're right.Learn something new everyday.

[Yudster]

I love Rachel and it will be lovely to have her back, but Aled has been excellent.

[Zoot]

^Yup, he had a programme called Blue Jam in the mid-nineties from what I remember.

Yes, Blue Jam was amazing. It carried over to a BBC TV series called 'Jam'. You think League of Gentlemen was dark, you ain't seen nothing yet...

(This is just audio, but don't play it loud in front of people who make take offense, you have been warned!)

[Latina]

I don't think I ever watched Jam, but I do remember seeing a bit of Jaaam. <Checks to see if that's the correct number of "a"s...>

[patriciammiller]

I'm SO ready for Rachel to come back! I find her so much more enjoyable than Aled. I don't dislike Aled but I can definitely only handle him in smaller doses. Rachel just seems so much more down to earth and relatable. I miss her!

[Yudster]

I love Rachel too, but I have to say I have really enjoyed the show while Aled has been producing in the studio. And I don't imagine for a minute that Rachel will mind not having to get up at stupid o'clock for a little while longer......

[Wykey]

I much prefer Aled, I don't mean to sound negative or mean, but it does do my head in when Rachel starts on about playing records, it being time for the news and trying to bring an end to links that are starting to get a bit 'edgy'.

[dimtimjim]

I love Rachel too. I like her 'corporate puppet' stance on things, keeps Chris in line and her in a job! Although I totally agree Aled has been doing a great Job. I heard Gary Barlow take note of it too, commenting that Aled had more studio presence than he had previously seen him have. And good for Aled too - showing true producing tallent whilst in the spotlight. If only he knew what venison was....

The longer Rachel stays off the better,Id even be happy for her to start at 7.30 as thats when I finish listening anyway.

[Candyman]

I dont mind Rachel even if she is sometimes very corporate thats part of her job to promote other shows, its Carrie I'm not keen on, although very well done on her pregnancy, excellent news especially as she will be on maternity leave, good times

[Wykey]

It'd be nice if Carrie would occasionally investigate her sports reports, or even if she actually knew anything about sport, but I'm not expecting an On The Line with John Inverdale type report, so that's only a minor issue.

Other than that I think she's sound.

[Johnny 1989]

I know it wasn't within the first 45 minutes but the bit where they were talking about Roy Walker on Come DIne With Me made me laugh quite a lot this morning. He's an old smoothy isn't he, Carrie's reaction was great with the others all disagreeing with her
