Janie

Made me laugh so much that I had to look him up, Janiepops, because he isn’t known here. He does look to be a bit of a toad I have to say.

I think he’s lovely

I agree. I can't think of any programme that he has been in that I have enjoyed.

I like him, but was pleasantly surprised how good Danny Wallace was when he stood in for him recently. Brilliant interview and not quite so much "me, me, me". Mind you Coles does have an interesting past to draw on.

Interviewer, I mean, not "interview".

I like his voice. I don't know what he looks like as I hardly watch any TV.
Who will do it now?
I liked John Peel - but he died.

Had you ever heard of The Communards nanna8 and their song ‘Don’t leave me this way’?He was half of that duo.

I won’t be pleased to see him go because I had to look up Saturday Live as I didn’t know what it was!

I liked to sing along to the Communards though back in day.

Richard now and in The Communards with Jimmy Somerville in the 80s

I really like him but rarely manage to listen to the programme.

maggemaybe totally agree I don’t watch it either but have seen him pop up on a few different guest programmes he s not my cup of tea stall but for goodness sake why so much vitriol Janipops that didn’t make me laugh I thought it was quite cruel

My thoughts too Maggiemaybe

Mine too

I agree maggie.

Saturday Live is on Radio 4 not tv

I’m not familiar with that programme, but from things I’ve seen him on, he seems a decent, intelligent man.

Yes I am only vaguely aware of him but that was a bit unnecessary. He speaks very movingly about grief.

kittylester

I agree maggie.

Saturday Live is on Radio 4 not tv

Oh, thanks kitty, I’ll have a listen now.

I thought I was alone! I cannot stand Richard Coles. I have never believed he is the genuine article. I do not understand how he gets job after job. I am sorry for his loss but he does irritate me beyond words.

I like him and I listen to Saturday Live. It never seems the same when another presenter takes his place. I hope he's replaced by someone with a nice voice!
