I read somewhere that their new show is to be called “gear knobs”

It is online, but barely worth the waste of battery power to view
Hardly a demolition to be honest. Just a rehash of a number of articles in the Torygraph over the past few days, just in a slighly different order. One might almost conclude that it is an orchestrated campaign…..
I would have marked this with a “must try harder”

If in the Corbyn camp ( which I am not) I would be much more concerned by this article in a more neutral paper

A couple of programmes on Radio 2 and a few news snippets on BBC News is a poor showing from the Beeb.

I disagree.

I thought the coverage on the news sections was well done under their time constraints. Anyone who was really interested would have known about and watched the Channel 4 coverage (channel 4 being the other public service broadcaster). If people heard the Radio 2 coverage in the morning and been interested in it, they could find out if there was more information elsewhere. Don’t forget it was not an ‘official’ event in the same way that the ceremony at St. Paul’s was, and the one at Westminster Abbey on Sunday will be

The BBC can’t win. If a great deal of resource and time had been put in, in this time of reduced budgets for the BBC, there would be other people on other forums complaining about the “waste of taxpayers money” (not that it taxpayers money, although most people who pay the licence are taxpayers) and the screen time dedicated to something that was so long ago. ( I don’t agree with the last comment, just in case….)

I can just imagine it, Mrs. Trellis of North Wales writing in saying, “why was my coverage of that lovely Mr.Corbyn interupted for a load of tosh about old aeroplanes, and anyway they shouldn’t be flying because they are dangerous”

WE would have preferred more, but you don’t always get what you want. I can’t stand the fact there is so much football coverage on the TV, but that’s the way things are.

‘Chris Evans is a presenter who has been extraordinarily successful in capturing audiences in all of the areas of the media he has worked. It has earned him upward of £50 million’

Are you sure he didn’t make his money from shares he sold in a radio station to Virgin?

I think you will find his company Ginger Media boughtVirgin Radio along with other investors then sold his shares to GMG PLC for £35 million allegedly. But he was only able to organise and fund the Virgin buyout as a result of his successful media career up to that point, selling his concepts to other media groups.

Chris Evans is a presenter who has been extraordinarily successful in capturing audiences in all of the areas of the media he has worked. It has earned him upward of £50 million. I would have thought that his audience would have been just the people the aviation community would hope to reach on this subject. If he enthused even a small proportion of those who listened to his programme, then all to the good.
He has quite extensive knowlege in a number of areas outside music, particularly historic vehicles. He is a qualified helicopter PPL so he has some knowledge of aviation.

He is intensely annoying and I don’t listen to him, but he has raised huge amounts of money for Children in Need.

I can think of a number of people who would have been a lot worse.

Edit: 8 million people listen to his show each week

Yes that is good – political commentators are, in general, an arrogant bunch!! Not up to speed with the shorthand – TWAO???

Sorry, shouldn’t have been so lazy
The World At One, BBC Radio 4. In my opinion the least dumbed down of the BBC’s radio news programmes

Didn’t really achieve anything apart from getting hundreds of MPs to London .

He managed to annoy a few media political commentators who were expecting to be able to ‘have fun’ with him. The person on TWAO said as much!
That has to be a good thing
