Countzero, you didn’t understand my comment about “I was entertained “
Pretty much says it all.
As borish as the programme was, the format was never going to change due to it being highly successful at selling itself around the world for welcome income that the BBC can waste on providing content no body, too small minority, wants to watch.
I’m surprised at all those who thought they would get a revamp/new format, and actually be content nee satisfied with the output. You seemed to expect a format that only appeals to you and not consider income generation for the BBC.
When Chris took over R2 from Terry, the UK Middle Class almost blew petunias and lillc’s. But a year later after many a boardroom wrangle and potential contract termination cost, the Beeb kept hold of him and to this day Chris continues to please, bring in audience, provide media other than just radio.
Honestly, you expected a new format?
Yer…riiiiight.
