Empty It Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've heard it a couple of times in hospital waiting rooms. Sounds like a good laugh and like something I might be quite good at. Sadly, I didn't like it enough to listen to Radio 2.I listen to the PopMaster podcast on BBC sounds app for this very reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know there was such a thing. I will look it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfha Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I try to listen every day. The best one recently was the guy who was on the phone and his neighbour was knocking his door. " He's not all there" said the contestant! Brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Popmaster champions league is just too difficult. Got the first 2 right then nothing in the first one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 My Dad died last year but I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with him during his last year or so. I'd take him shopping in the mornings and PM would be on the radio quite often. Dad would always be apoplectic whenever someone asked for a signed photo of Ken Bruce. "Who'd want a picture of that ugly cunt, he's got a face for radio." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first guy was bemoaning getting a 6 point Beatles question that he knew wrong in the semi final, and he'd be kicking himself at the end as he lost by 5 points! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With everything that's going on in the world it seems trivial to get exercised over BBC radio presenters. However... Radio 2 has been my go-to station for years but I can see that now changing. It's not the departure of the likes of Steve Wright and Ken Bruce per se, it's the quality of the replacements. Scott Mills and Vernon Kay are awful, with the former really well into dry boak territory. As for Kay, he's a classic case of someone who has Keith Lemon-like pinged about light entertainment for years without any discernable talent. It'll be interesting to see the listening figures over the coming year or so. Edited March 3, 2023 by Frank Quitely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 The new quiz they're doing is the most half arsed effort they could've produced, it's embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Scott mills was good on radio 1 but seems a bit flat on radio 2 as if he’s trying to be on his best behaviour to appease his new audience and not being funny in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
