Quite apart from being almost incomprehensible sitting in for Evans she has clearly reached the stage, like most DJs, when nobody dares tell her how awful she is so she happily rambles on unthinking as though she was in her own kitchen.

Radio 2 has some awful stand-in presenters at the moment. Patrick Kielty manages to make even Steve Wright sound like someone who cares about music.

Oh dear - listening to Kielty talking to Carly Rae Jepsen and it's like - which has the fewer brain cells? It is extraordinary how moronic the stand-ins are - and those they are standing in for are not much better. Is it just me?

I think Radio 2 is taking the female quota thing a bit too far. At the moment, Nicki Chapman is standing in for Vanessa Feltz, who then hands over to Sara Cox (who is subbing for Evans), who then hands over to Zoe Ball (standing in for Ken Bruce). That's about SEVEN hours solid of amateurish babbling. And now Steve Wright is being subbed on Sundays by Jamie Lee Grace, that absurd new age fruitcake who only normally has a few minutes on his daily show to enthuse about the health benefits of mood stones, astrological trajectories and knitting your own muesli. How did she qualify for her own show on the BBC? The best she ought to manage is an in-house DJ job in a quiet branch of Holland and Barrett!

Spot on though I did enjoy Fern this morning sitting in for Balding!
