Janet & John

Nutcase · 11-10-2009, 20:14

After Wogan announced he was standing down from the R2 breakfast show I thought I'd best get the Janet and John CDs before they became a rarity.

I'm crying listening to some of them.

How they get away with it at 8am I don't know!

I have these on CD - my mum got me onto it, and we've had to stop listening in the car to them because we laugh too much!!

Wogan's last brekkie show today

Wogan is one of the only people I know who can truly bridge all age ranges. I loved the guy when I was in my teens and started listening to Radio 2. I think they have the perfect replacement in a now more mature Chris Evans, but he has the hardest job in radio trying to replace Sir Terry.

He shouldn't try to replace Sir Terry - that's an impossible task. That said, hopefully he'll do a good job. I've only recently started listening to Wogan (thanks to actually getting up at that time of day). Bit late in the game - absolutely - but part of the reason I did start listening was because I knew it was the last week.

The only meaning of replacement here, is that the timeslot will be the same.
Evans will make a different kind of show than Wogan did. Wogan wasn't very good at talking to listeners, hence the reason he didn't do much of it. Evans is much better at bouncing off people, so his show will have more listener participation.

I think Moyles will be gone by the end of 2010 or at least being moved somewhere else. Evans will show that moron up for what he really is.

Who knows? The only thing that will cause change is a drop in ratings and AFAIK the only radio show with more listeners was Wogans. Personally, I love Moyles' show, but he's a marmite DJ as in you don't find many people who've listened to him and haven't got a strong opinion about him.

The show will be starting 30 minutes earlier - from 7AM. Not sure about the end time. I did note one of Wogan's critics saying they didn't think he 'pulled his weight', given that he only did a two hour show. Give him a break.

This I agree with. Though both Wogan and Evans have had TV chat shows, I'd rate Evans as the better 'people person'. I haven't heard his current show so I just hope he really has learned his lessons.

As for Moyles, I don't listen to Radio 1 any more so I don't know his shows, but I do note the consistent criticism of them. If listeners switch sides in droves (and Evans is far more likely to make that happen than Wogan was), then they'd be mad not to shake things up.
