I have to say Sal with Johnnie Walker, aided by Bob Ballard and Martin Shankelman was one of my favourite ever radio shows. It made the M42 / M5 crawl home a pleasure!
Yes, miles better than Simon Mayo and his predictable show, the banter between Johnnie and Sally was excellent. I do recall a hilarious Mystery Voice where a sex shop owner started discussing his products and Sally burst into fits of laughter.

Simon Mayo's show is far from predictable. The wit, intelligence, interaction and laugh out loud humour rise a million miles above when Johnnie Walker was on Drivetime

Never been a fan, although I do like All Request Friday. I suppose being a Walker follower since the eighties might contribute to this.

She has sounded very tired for a while. I liked it when she was on with Chris and the flirting that went on. Hopefully Graham Norton and Tony Blackburn can bring that humour back out of her
Quite a short a long Saturday for Sally and short Sunday. The reports are every hour during Graham Norton shows then after the news from 2pm upto 8pm on a Saturday. On a Sunday it's out of the news from 2pm. They do that as some shows are prerecorded on a Sunday.
That could obviously change and report during live shows? I still think there is more of a weekend shake up to come?
I don't care who they are but they usually pick good songs which is what all request Friday is about.
Radio 2 has millions of working class listeners as well. Look how popular it is in garages and on building sites now. Tarquin and Jemima could just as easily be followed by a lorry driver who has parked up his lorry and wants to hear 2-4-6-8 Motorway.

Is it? It seems largely dominated by middle-class people boasting about where they can afford to go on holiday to. Lorry drivers ringing up asking to hear 2-4-6-8 Motorway are few and far between when I've listened to the show.
You mean you don't want to hear the parents get a request for Jemima and Tarquin who are in their vintage car on the way to their sailing holiday
Haha... that sums up the Fridays, so predictable with the tunes always played like Queen, Eagles, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun etc... also the same type of people chosen and since Simon Mayo became an author, he seems to have a couple of precocious kids he spends time chatting to nowadays. Bring back Johnnie Walker!!! I must admit to having liked the Irish stand-in this past fortnight!!

I'd say it's the same type of people chosen because they're mostly the only type that ring up in the first place. It's just a platform for them to brag about how well they're doing.
I love the chemistry between Johnnie Walker and Sally Boazman. I remember an item about useless inventions and a listener suggested a smoke alarm with a snooze button. The pair of them could barely continue for laughing. It will be great if they're back together again.

I think you may hear what you expect to hear, god forbid that mddle class people should actually get to pick songs on the radio shouldn't they all be listening to the news quiz on radio 4 or books on tapes anway?

Now that's the one show I don't listen to, can't stand it
Everybody to their own
Definitely the good old days IMO.

Yeah I agree I like it too

Reunited with Johnnie Walker on Sunday afternoons:)
They obviously don't listen to radio 2, as sally hasn't done Fridays for ages. Her last shift was today.
If you believe the story then Sally's I guess but who knows.
If I had to be patronised by Steve Wright on a daily basis I'd be asking for a transfer too.
