No more of her dreadful laugh, please

Yes I agree and it’s so off putting!

Listen to Radio 4 instead!

Elaine Page’s laugh puts me off too. The male laugh that grates is Jimmy Carr’s. It would be my nightmare to spend any time with them!!!

Just cannot listen to Elaine Paige, apart from the cackle she is so up herself.

You could, if you wanted to, download a ringtone of Elaine Page's laugh. Do you fancy that?

I agree GinJeannie. I can't bear it, and I actually emailed Radio 2 to complain. I got an email back from Malcolm, the producer, saying that it's natural and she doesn't put it on .... which wasn't the point! It's naturally awful!

And Jimmy Carr's laugh is so false.

That's why she's on Sunday afternoon. Nobody listens to it ?

Yes , once Elaine starts cackling, she goes straight off air,
However, the lovely Johnny Walker gets put on at three.

Saturday morning, I have to switch radio 4 off one of the interviewers on Saturday Live irritates me, cant stand her laugh, her constant interruptions, she cannot bear not to be heard for longer then a minute so I have stooped listening listening.

As for Jimmy Carr!

Argh DH and I can't stand Elaine Paige especially her awful irritating laugh. Instant cue to change the channel on the radio when she's on.

Blimey I can't stand Jimmy Carr----those deep-set eyes, yuk.

But she’s not as bad as a Lisa Tarbuck with her dreadful modulation. And silly pointless stories.

Like most people there are performers who I can't stand on radio and TV. Just remember we don't have to listen or watch, and we certainly don't need to comment, especially bearing in mind recent sad news. They are all people with feelings and we don't know how it will affect them.

Grandma2213 that’s put the mockers on a discussion. ?.

I think we have every right to give an opinion on what irritates us about a broadcaster’s laugh!

I think you are being over sensitive.

I LOVE Lisa Tarbucks chatter by the way. ❤️

Yes, I

Yes, I’m a Liza Tarbuck fan too! Can’t do with Elaine Paige, though her laugh is the least irritating part of the show to me. Where on earth does she drag some of those awful songs up from?

Oh FFS sake, just turn the radio off then. Another thread about (usually female) people who ‘irritate’.

’

Sorry, ma’am, I didn’t realise someone had appointed you and Grandma as thread monitors.

Do please let us know what we’re allowed to chat about.

Interesting comments, girls! Glad to know I'm not alone, and, like I said, bring on Classic FM, along with Johnnie Walker at 3.00 on Sunday! Over and out!

Can't stand Dermot O'Leary, Elaine Paige, Alan Carr, Jo Whiley or Zoe Ball.

Love to listen to Tony Blackburn and Johnny Walker.

Craig Charles on R2 when he stands in for Steve Wright has to be THE most annoying presenter with his screeching, fake-sounding laugh. I can’t actually listen to him now - I switch off immediately he appears.

Ha ha
I love Craig Charles hes so good and his music is a blast. Steve Wright has always been a favourite but irritates the hell out of me when he ruins the ends of songs by singing over them.
Jeremy Vine (Vile) is the one I cant listen too
Also think Lisa Tarbuck is funny.

Love Tony Blackburn's voice and also Ken Bruce's! When you have just the voice and no distraction of any visuals, it's important that the voice is just right. Can't stand Zoe Ball's screeching and babbling, or Steve Wright's mispronunciations, or Elaine Page or Alan Carr.
