Friday's Ken "Rob" Bruce show was funny to listen to.
The Now Show is always worth listening to, but I also like Mock the Week so that follows.

yep, tbh I have the radio on all the time and listen (R2) while pottering about here at HQ, I really like Radio 2 because it does not just play the same shit, they have a variety of shows on in the evenings and weekends with all sorts of music from jazz, country, classical and show tunes as well as contemporary stuff.

The tv on the other hand, I watch Glee on Monday nights and at the moment that's it lol, I might have it onin the evening when I'm on the laptop and watch CSI or NCIS or some other show with lots of letters in but I mainly watch DVDs.

yeah Ezteq :) i love my country stuff (lady antebellum, rascal flatts, alison krauss, shawn colvin etc) and also dont mind a bit of folk as well (cara dillon springing to mind)

radio 2 caters for all this and is even getting pete tong in to do stuff about dance music hehe.

there's other fantastic shows as well. Richard Bacon on radio 5... 2 til 4... and ofc the EPIC Tony Livesey Show from 10.30pm til 1am (has its own FB page so when they ask for daft shit can post it on there and get it read out on radio! yay! :)

I would also say 606 on radio 5 but Robbie Savage is a total cock who contradicts himself from 1 week to the next.

and i cant even begin to say how good the Janet and John stories are on Wogan's show ;) hehe

BBC Radio is soo much better than their TV Channels. The only thing I have watched on the BBC in recent memory was Wonders of the Universe and Louis Theroux (sry sp) last night. I more or less pay the license fee to listen to the radio lol.

I've never been a big fan of radio tbh, but my father-in-law gave up TV fifteen years or so ago, and spends his days pottering about and listening to radio 4, he gets a lot more done apparently. The only TV he ever watched is Formula 1 which we record for him for when he visits. I'm not sure I could do it though.
