Paddy O'Connell is doing Broadcasting House from 8am for two hours on Christmas Day. Live I think.
He really is my favourite Radio 4 presenter by quite a long way. Hope the Beeb have the sense to hang on to him.
A ghost hunting programme in the afternoon with Mark Gatiss, only spoiled by the presence of the ubiquitous Rev Richard Coles.

Ex-bbc radio presenter Dave Lee Travis has been given a show on Boom on boxing day afternoon, this really doesn't sit well, he's a convicted sex offender.
I think Boom have made a poor choice here.

Completely agree. I can’t get on board with this. What are they thinking? I get that they’re casting their net for ex-BBC jocks, but surely they have standards? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Who next, the mind boggles. I hope they receive comments / complaints about this and that nobody tunes in.

If DLT wants to work let him do something community based to perhaps show a little contrition, rather than giving his ego (and no doubt bank balance) a boost on national radio.
 
What's the consensus about Scott Mills now? I listened to him the other day, and it was better than when he started but still felt really .. dry? His radio 1 show was really fun, but this is nothing like that at all!
It's like he's gone from being the top guy at radio one to just another DJ at radio 2.

I think it indicates something about his standing (or lack of it) that the afternoon show has been cut by an hour to just two hours, while Sara Cox has been presenting the same kind of 'hope you're alright out there my loves, Jane from Swansea has just texted in to say that she's got a bottle of red open and a takeaway on the way' show since forever and has been given more airtime to keep doing it even longer? She's not a bad presenter per se, but radio needs people who are better than 'not bad' doesn't it?

At least Liza Tarbuck is still going strong on a Saturday afternoon...
