5Live's ok, the drive time show is quite good. Just avoid the breakfast show or you'll be subjected to that pompous tw@ Nicky Campbell.

I could listen to it all day.

Drive time is great.

[Severus]

Am I the only one who can't stand the drive time show. I listen to a fair bit of R5 but Peter whathisname does my #### in. The afternoon slot previously presented by Simon Mayo now by Rivhard Bacon is by far the best.

Peter Allen is an essential part of Drive, as he represents the views of a certain section oft the listeners.


However, he may not be there for much longer as he refuses, I undestand, to move to Media City

Radio Five Live contains an antidote to the irritant oleaginous inverdale in the form of George Riley

I like Peter Allen especially when he is grumpy.

Peter Allen has a remarkably intelligent sounding voice. He is not particularly bright, but his voice makes it hard to believe.

if you've got one of them newfangledigitaltypewirelesseseses then try radio 7

the comedy shows are excellent

That's just the kind of thing he would wet himself laughing at on air if it was texted in.

It's okay is 5Live. Although Victoria Darbyshire, and Campbell are the pits. If you can avoid their bits and also Ian Robertson, and Garry Richardson then it's okay.

I mix it upt with with Radio 1, and Radio 4 and my Ipod.

Nope - I'm the same

5 live for me is OK but nothing gets me giddy about it anymnore

Radio 2 for me - Simon Mayo show is very good

[Wiltshire Rhino]

The Danny Baker Show (currently with Suggs) and Fighting Talk on Saturday mornings is always a good listen.

I have a spiffing Roberts Sports DAB radio and listen to Paul Temple re-runs on R7.

Its a neat radio..it has a Mark Kermode filter that really works!!

You've got to be joking. He's a cross between a vicar and a Blue Peter presenter ... a latter-day Noel Edmonds.

I bet the nearest he's ever got to sex, drugs and rock'n'roll is having an aspirin with his coffee after getting a headache watching a Soiuxsie video.

It really irks me to think they chose him for the drivetime show when they could have fetched back Johnny Walker to return it to its glory days.


When Mayo came, I left for Radio Leeds but, unfortunately, the excellent Steve Bailey has left there for pastures new.

It's CD's in the car at teatime now.

me too
I like mayo as well as the Paul Jones and Bob Harris shows
and yes I don 't mind ken Bruce and jeremy vine either. I'm s sucker for pop master, and the 'I'm no rascist but...' phone ins on Vine. You do get some interesting guests on the show as well

[Futtocks]

With digital radio, I am listening more and more to the World Service. There's some good stuff on there.

[WearyRhino]

I'm listening to 5 Live less and less these days, Radio 4 during the day and Radio 7 at bedtime for a laugh. Also listening to the World Service occasionally too.

[Shaggy]

Radio 5 Live always seems to have ordinary people calling in with their opinions. It does my nut in.

Not just ordinary people; there are plenty of spinny-eyed, frothy-lipped nutjobs calling in too.

On the upside, Inverdolt appears far less on Radio 5 than he used to. He no longer has his daily programme, so as long as you take care to avoid Nicky Campbell in the morning, then Victoria Derbyshire's phone-in (populated mainly by grief athletes, closet racists and cretins), the worst you can expect is shouty wannabe shock-jock Stephen Nolan.

Oh, and Richard Bacon, who appears to be morphing into a young Alan Partridge.

And Gabby Logan.

And Alan Green, the Football commentator and presenter who, from the evidence, doen't actually like Football.

I tune into 5 Live quite a lot these days and actually enjoy listening to Nicky Campbell - should I be worried?

Yes.
