A Steve Allen mug eh? Bet not many people have got one of those. Said 2007 on it. I was still into listening very heavily to his show then. Don't remember them being mentioned as prizes.
The mugs were sold if you went to one of his 'Bitch is Back' shows. I was a mug and bought one. Not sure if I still have it though.
Maybe there weren't callers wanting to speak on the subject.
How has he destroyed Mystery Hour, a feature he invented for the radio?
HE makes HIS rather than let callers give the answers...JOB has a tendacy more than any other presenter to introduce a topic and go on and on and on before any caller is put through!:mad:
My job leads me to meet some interesting people. This week I interviewed Princess of Michael of Kent about her new novel, The Queen of Four Kingdoms. We were sent a protocol sheet in advance which instructed us what to call her and how to bow. Never having been very good at any form of forelock tugging I indulged in more of a crick of the neck than a bow, and never once uttered the words ‘Your Royal Highness’, or even worse, ‘Ma’am’, as in spam. She didn’t seem to mind and we got on famously. Indeed, not only did I find her an engaging interviewee, I couldn’t help but think for a woman of 68 she really is incredibly beautiful. You can hear the interview tonight on LBC at 7.30pm. ]Next week, Katie Price. Honest.
This weekend I am off to Dubrovnik, which is apparently called the jewel of the Adriatic. The reason for my trip is that on Monday I am giving a keynote speech to the annual conference of the Association of British Travel Agents. Luckily, ABTA have nicer venues for the conferences than political parties seem to go for!
Because I will still be in Dubrovnik, I’ve got the night off from my LBC radio show on Monday evening. But would I leave you with four hours of radio silence? No Sirreee. For one night only, standing in for me is …. Cue drumroll …. Alastair Campbell. This happened once before.
Next Thursday at 7pm I’m hosting a new hour long segment on my LBC drivetime show called The LBC Parliament. Each week we’ll be having three panellists in the studio from across the political spectrum – not always politicians – and they’ll be taking questions from our listeners. On the first show we’ve got Polly Toynbee, John Redwood and Charlie Falconer followed the week after by Lynne Featherstone, Charles Clarke and Peter Sissons. Future panellists include Hilary Devey, Melanie Phillips, Sir Christopher Meyer, Jeremy Hunt, Neil Hamilton, Lord Levy and a whole host more

Indeed. At the moment I am torturing Boy George, Tre Azam and Dr Pam Spurr.
No way Kiko. The Lambster is doing a great job at LBC!
Absolutely ghastly, like listening to the worst excesses of the red tops.
Radio Four or Jazz FM here I come.
I'm a fan of Mr Lamb's show too, he's a great addition to the LBC presenters line up.
How much did they cost?
I was shocked that it looked so much like the inside of a block of offices.
Radio looked like radio in the 1970s.
Yes, Poppet I am sure you think he is. I should be presenting that show.

I did seem rather sterile and rather soulless the area where the presenters research their topics is just computer screens not a book in sight.
All in all, bit like a call centre in reverse.
The man is put on as a sop to the left , but is embarrassingly fake and poor IMHO.
Sorry I don't remember after all these years. Maybe a tenner?

One of the recycled topics on Christo's show.
I don't think sticking up a few posters of Arthur Scargill and a morning singalong of "The Red Flag" would help much.:)
You posted the above at 17:15 Hours on Thursday Oct 17th.
I thought that NF went Off Air at 10 am

Mentioned day before he was doing something with his Mum
It was referring to his time slot...:cool:
Campbell:mad::mad::mad: Sooner drink bleach than listen to one word out of his over sized gob:(
Iain mentioned earlier there would be a special programme on it tonight. I'm not sure why?
I've switched to Radio 5 Live and only tune into LBC for the likes of David and Ken plus Ian Collins.
