I am drifting over to Radio 4 Extra full time. There's always something nice on there.
That’s because a large proportion of all males indulge in this behaviour. It’s considered “normal” and almost expected these days. Ask any women on dating apps …..Isn't it wierd Manford, Joel and Vernon all caught sexting/exposing themselves online.
Spot on!I thought we would all enjoy this

This hilariousy on-the-nose description of middle class Radio 2 listener requests spawned a wave of painfully accurate replies
For most of the last 30 years, BBC Radio 2 has been the UK’s most popular radio station. It plays a comfy mix of classics from the 1960s onwards, interspersed with current releases, yet steering well clear of anything too edgy or experimental that could potentially scare its predominantly white...www.thepoke.com
Hope not. I know he's marmite but I like himI have a feeling Vern is going to jump ship too. Not sure why. Just popped into my head yesterday.
I wanted it to be OJ but I actually love him in the graveyard slot, it’s a hard one to do well and I much prefer listening to that from the night before instead of Jo (or the proms this week)I'm really unsure who will get the tea time slot. I really wanted OJ but he's hardly covered it so can't be lining him up. Joel probably best of a bad bunch but not a proper DJ or someone I'd feel the need to regularly listen to![]()
This makes me happy anywayGary on breakfast next week then a month on drivetime… that takes us to nearly October with no permanent presenter??

I for one would love that. I just don’t think he’s interested in a full time gigAt this point just give Drive Time to Gary Davies full time.
Me too! Great news. I’ve been homeless for weeks with no one to listen to!This makes me happy anyway![]()
Do we think Zoe’s move was purely financial? Or a falling out in the beeb? Seeing as she didn’t get the strictly gig![]()
BBC Radio 2 - Schedules, Monday 24 August 2026
This is the daily broadcast schedule for BBC Radio 2www.bbc.co.uk
Next week there isn't a DJ in their regular position until Jo Wiley. How can that even be allowed? You have to make an exception for Trevor, but usually a work place doesn't allow so many people off at once.
With that and the dragging out of drivetime it's getting like Radio 1 with all the influencers. I like Joel Dormett and Ellie Taylor is OK, but neither are DJs. If they cannot get Greg James they could surely have persuaded Zoe Ball to stick around to do drivetime as a permanent host, instead of going to commercial radio to do it.
I can’t stand her!!Jo will be out next I reckon, she doesn't even seem to care about music any more (she didn't know that Sam Fender track had been no.1 for a record breaking time the other week) and her show is so very lacklustre (when she's there)
Yes she will have taken her ball home pardon the pun, about missing out on Strictly, so ended up at the Radio 2 retirement home.Do we think Zoe’s move was purely financial? Or a falling out in the beeb? Seeing as she didn’t get the strictly gig
