Steve Wright in the Afternoon.

I haven’t heard the show for years. We used to have it on at work until one of our staff members said he literally couldn’t stand it.
I didn’t like it is was cringingly awful, not only him but those dreadful know all co presenters

When I was working, for the last 12 years I listened to Steve Wright in the background. I remember those years fondly.
I retired, and if it is Steve’s time to retire then good on him.
Thanks Steve for the memories and the music.

"Fillet of fish, fillet of fish! Give me fish to fillet"....

Good.. He drives me nuts.
Scott Mills.. Really? Can't see him lasting long.
Next get rid of that pillock Jeremy Vine.

But never ever Sir Ken.

I like the mix of music, SW doesn’t irritate me too much but in recent months I’ve felt it’s time for a change
If someone has to go why not the awful Jeremy Vine

I like the 3pm listener choice slot, I will turn that in if I remember, but rarely want to listen to the rest. Strangely I remember finding him irritating in 80s, but was that R1 or R2?
Jeremy Vine definitely off switch
Ken Bruce is passable

I don't often listen to the radio now but did enjoy SW in the afternoon occasionally when I was driving home after the GD's school run.
I liked it when he played older music.
Much of R2 is more like R1 these days.

I won't miss him as he is far too silly. He was funny 30 years ago on radio 1 but not now.

Paddy has been brilliant this week on the lunchtime slot.

Steve Wright in the afternoon has always been my go to since the 80’s. Hope he joins Greatest Hits where Simon Mayo now resides. ☹️

I used to love sir Tel.

He's just irreplaceable.
Unique

He’s a good impersonator. I love his Donald Trump, Paul McCartney and taking the p**s out of Jeremy Vine riding his bike. ?

We still laugh when we remember some of the daft stuff Terry got up to. Janet and John, Norah Treadwell's Tan and Touch up emporium, Chuffer Dandridge and so much more. Made the morning commute something to look forward to. Happy days.

Vitas Guerillitis, in your shorts all nice and white-us...
Was it Jimmy Young who followed on from him?
Terry used to give him some stick; "Here he comes, a frail shell of a man, in a bath chair..."

Oh, Terry Wogan was a legend! Loved him.

Jimmy Young was a recording artist before becoming a DJ.
His most successful year as a recording artist was 1955, when "Unchained Melody" (from the film Unchained) and "The Man from Laramie" (from the film of the same name) were both number one hits.

Songs for swingers was one of my favourite little forays Terry did.
Songs for swinging bedbugs - on the sheet where you live.

Graham Norton was good fun on Saturday mornings and Jonathan Ross was too.
These later DJs are all so bland. No personality.

I love the Father Ted episode of Graham Norton riverdancing in the caravan.

There have been mixed messages about this, at first I read he had been doing the show for 24 years and wanted to give it up and now I am reading he has been doing it for 40 years and it wasn't his decision to leave. I think he will still be doing the Sunday morning show though. The only one we listen to on a regular basis now is Ken Bruce, we used to like Johnny Walker before he left because of ill health.

I used to love the chemistry between Johnnie Walker and Sally Boazman. They were so funny I’d be driving home from work in tears of laughter.

I've always liked Steve. Very funny. I listened mainly when he was on in the afternoon on Radio 1.

I like SW in the afternoon, can’t stand Zoe Ball , Jeremy. One , Ken Bruce isok. But I listen to Boom Radio now , much better music 50,s 60,s mainly and the DJ ,s are good too , they don’t waffle on ,

Jeremy Vine !!!

My ideal line up,
Loving vernon on the breakfast show, get rid of Jeremy vine...awful person.
Looking forward to Scott Mills in Steve wrights place, 3 hours of Sarah Cox...brilliant followed by Jo whilley,
Oh I forgot keep Ken Bruce were he is please.

That isn’t Steve Wright merlotgran.
I’m a bit surprised that you though it was!
It’s an actor chap called Lewis MacLeod, who also appears on the magnificent Dead Ringers (which is on today, R4. 12.30. Yay!)

I’m delighted that Wright is going. I’m amazed that he’s lasted as long as he has.
Now to get shut of Vine and the atrocious Ball.
I remember Vine saying that he was a better journalist that Nicky Campbell.
I hate this emoji, but ?
