 The term of endearment here in Chesterfield is 'Duck.'  Found it a bit strange when I moved here from Sheffield several years ago.

are you saying that the terms like 

darling...sweetie...my lovely, are not used here in Chesterfield?

Thought steved32 was on about another presenter I agree with other's on here BM is a very good presenter....

 

She is far too good as a stand in she should have her own permanent slot maybe she should take PE slot and have her filling in...

 

That's my take on things.

[Baron99 779]

Regardless of whichever presenter we're discussing, why do many radio shows have to have multiple presenters, presenting them or a main presenter & a few underlings playing second fiddle / being used as idiot foils? 

 

For me, only the best presenters can carry a programme single handed.  If you need back up, you're in the wrong job,  

 

If the BBC is looking to save money, one presenter per show.

Not at all.  Just that I hear 'Duck' being used more often here than I have heard used in Sheffield.

Blimey, Radio 2 would soon shut, what with Zoe Ball and her hangers on, and the idiots with the decrepit Steve Wright they could save a fortune!

To be fair I think they draw the speeching out when they are awaiting incoming callers, I assume the traffic news is contractual I agree its a waste of time though.

Try listening to the "Gardening Phone-in" on Sunday morning... inane music played interspersed with the odd caller on gardening topics.

 

If callers/emails are not forthcoming, surely it's not beyond the wit of producers/presenters to plan advice tips, jobs for the week, etc., rather than broadcasting some of the drivel that masquerades as music.

Think you're right,  same when a caller gets the presenters back up, they can just say "got to go to the news or weather". The one thing that really annoys me is when they give the traffic news and play that annoying music in the background,  people on the way to work or whatever  in the morning  when they need traffic news , and this distraction, on five live too btw.
