Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Craig Charles is flipping awful, what is with all that fake gravelly voice. Feltz, sack her, sack her now.

Zoe Ball just witters.

and Evans doesn't do that now?

My all time favourite dislike on the BBC is Winklemann, please get rid.

Steve wright seems to verge on neo-nazism to me.

Liza Tarbuck makes my skin crawl, all that faux jollity and snarf-snarf stuff, ugh. Jeremy Vine, well, what Fellrunner said :) Chris Evans is fucking awful on telly but I love him on the radio, fond memories of listening to him on Capital during my A levels, he used to play Last Night My Wife Hoovered My Head and had a DustBuster to accompany him :) Upbeat and a bit crazy is what you need on the radio sometimes :)

If you think anything on BBC radio is crap, then I suggest tuning into Heart, Magic or similar commercial station.

Hearts claim of "More Music Variety" would grind my gears, if it wasn't so laughable....:)

I am hugely disappointed that Jo Whiley has got so little abuse on here.

I used to hate her on the radio so much I set up a Facebook group so we could vent together.

I was also massively attracted to her, which left me a little confused and torn.

I'd forgotten about Liza, yes skin crawlingly bad, thanks, and Whiley!!! She gets away with being a sort of font of all music knowldege type persona....

If you listened to Whiley, Tarbuck, Mayo and Bruce, you would consider the whole of Radio 2's target audience, middle aged, middle class white people, were pissed on White wine all the fucking time......

I agree with you about Heart FM, Southcoastpete. "More music variety" might mean different styles of music but it's always the same songs.

A work colleague insisted on Heart FM being played out loud in the office over Christmas. Not Christmas songs being played but you heard the same ones several times a day. Every time she went out to see a client, we would change the radio station.
