The minute Elaine Page comes on is the signal to switch to R4 ready for GQT at 2pm. I don't like her and I loathe the musical theatre stuff she plays.
I do like Chris Evans though along with Johnny Walker, Jeremy Vine and Ken Bruce.
My absolute favourite is Simon Mayo's programme partly because I'm smitten with the voice and laugh of Matt the sports person.
Just thought of my other pet hate, Liza Tarbuck with her silly infant teacher voice and squeaky dog toy.

I like the others but if Elaine Paige comes on our radio goes off!

I think Steve Wright is great. Can't stand Chris Evans but I don't put the radio on until Ken Bruce who is the best presenter on Radio 2

Elaine Paige's laugh is scary stuff but I do love a good old singalong while I'm cooking because we eat later on a Sunday.

I missed Sarah Kennedy (Bunty) when she got the boot left. She was all I could cope with on long drives to work at the crack of dawn. It's a period of my life I did not enjoy and she helped me through it.

I don't like Elaine Page's presenting style, so I don't listen to her programme. I love Steve Wright though, he's been a part of my life, radio-wise, for many years!

My Sunday afternoon ruined yet again by that obscene so-called laugh of Elaine Paige. Just because she worked in musicals doesnt qualify her as a radio presenter. How can the BBC retain such irritating individuals as her in company with Steve Wright whose shouty voice and finishing off songs beggars belief.

The BBC drags off the street anything and everything in the name of broadcasting. Professional presenters like David Jacobs, Terry Wogan and even Bunty must have wept for their profession The BBC has not even attempted to replace them with like for like. We are left with shouty exhibitionists like Chris Evans. It's a sad time for radio.
