Remember the days when people like Peter Cook would ring LBC? The days when there was a huge variety in the programmes and not this heavy and constant battering of news and opinion being done to death? There was the wonderful Diane Burstein and the Mystery Tours, Phillip Hodson with his often extraordinary phone-in calls and personal advice given, a programme about antiques, Clive Bull, always totally laid back, adamantly refusing to reply when callers opened the conversation by asking 'how are you?', and his delightful snippets of what sounded to me like traditional Israeli music. What programmes have I forgotten?
Thank God we have Nick Abbott, Steve Allen. the lawyer, the consumer advice expert and Jobby's Mystery Hour or I'd never tune in again.
