since peter allan will be hosting most program all week next week i am hoping for him to retire since he is an old codger who refuses to go on social media and lack the knowledge of ever changing technology also bacon needs to go off air since he spends most times in southern france or spain or even USA/New york the guy has it easy and get away with murder like putting feet up on desks/walls and if we did that get into trouble
hoping 5live gets a revamp and fire or get rid of its presenters since most are aging or been there for too long like being at 5live for 20yrs is a bit much too be honest

So just because he is in his sixties and doesn't go on and on about Twitter he should retire? So the fact he is the most experienced and knowledgeable presenter on 5 live doesn't count?
Does everything need to be dumbed down to 140 characters or less?

Are you a stalker What has a presenters personal life got to do with you?
It is a refreshing change not to have a presenter go on and on about Twitter - one of the many reasons I like Peter Allen. Maybe the fact he doesn't feel the need to follow the crowd is why he has survived for twenty years on 5 live.
pretty sure janegavery1 will not be Jane Garvey if that is how it is spelt.
meant to be janegarvey1 also hoping for a revalation during march 28th maybe announcemnt of peter allan retirement or announce finally go onto twitter also hoping for adrian chiles full time to take over peter allan

Given some of your contributions to this thread I can see why he might not want a direct line to you...
Ok, two things crop up from recent posts. Has Five Live changed my life? Yes. It's made me far more aware of news stories from the UK and around the world. I was never one to read a newspaper or watch much TV news before getting into 5. It's probably just as much a product of my age, I was 22 when the station was born as not so concerned about World issues, but it's now, without doubt, my preferred method of news delivery. I don't trust papers at all and even the BBC main news programmes seem a bit sensationalist (watch The Day Today or Brass Eye these days and they don't seem so crazy now). The other way in which it has changed my life is in the ability to get on with something else like cooking or gardening while still staying right up to date with sports in which I'm interested (mostly football). You can't win 4 successive Fantasy Football League Seasons (albeit against your mates) on luck alone...
Peter Allen it is clear is retiring when others should have been shown the door years ago. What is crazy is that no names need to be mentioned as everyone knows who they are. Noel Edmonds could find no better place to start...

He lives on a farm - and he has a barn? Earth shaking stuff. I couldn't care if he lived on the top floor of a 30 floor skyscraper, and actually designs escalators in his spare time - the guy is a fine broadcaster. Please can you explain why it is necessary to be on Twitter (congratulations on the incorrect spelling of Twitter 2 out of 3 times in the quoted post) for someone to do a good job on a news radio station?
Questions such as this are a product of tv , radio and press people who like nothing better than to indulge themselves in their own self importance.
After listening to Victoria Derbyshire for a number of days I did seek treatment for clinical depression but thankfully I 'm alright now, as for a cure I just throw the radio through the window as far as possible.
anyone who managed to catch that documentary this week all about the internal workings of the BBC will know why 5live is what it is.....
and why it comes up with daft decisions like employing Derbyshire & Fogerty and their dire output......
check it out on iPlayer if you can i think it was called W1A..

Don't make me dig out that Noel's HQ clip to show you why Edmonds' involvement would be a disaster...

there really are some complete and utter morons on DS.
Lots of cash and highly paid jobs for the boys massive pay offs and waste a £100,000,000 of the pressed publics money and then they have the Gaul to criticize Edmonds.
People at 5 live seem to be affected by the illusion that what they do is more important than anything else and we should all be eternally grateful to them for doing it.
Did my ears deceive me at 7.00pm tonight did Adrian Chiles say Bacon would be doing Drive with Caroline Barker on Monday?
According to the schedules for Monday you heard correct! Peter is swapping with Richard will be on air at 2pm while Richard co-hosts Drive.
The list of swaps for next week
Monday: PA (2pm) / Richard Bacon
Tuesday: PA (10am) / Victoria Derbyshire
Wednesday: PA (12pm) / Tony Livesey (covering for Shelagh Fogarty)
Thursday: PA (7am including 9am phone-in) / Nicky Campbell
Friday: PA (4pm) co-hosting Drive with Jane Garvey
The schedules listed at the 5 Live website for Monday 31 March 2014 only go up to 9am. I wonder if there is some significance in that? Perhaps there isn't but I've not seen that happen before. Could there be something happening that day (or not happening that day, depending on how you look at it) that 5 Live are about to announce? A departure perhaps?
I've no problem with the excellent Rhod Sharp on Up All Night for these past 20 years now, although at times he does seem a bit jaded nowadays, but it's the other half of the week like now overnights at weekends that need to be fully freshened up from the stale and coasting Dotun Adebayo who's 13 odd years seem like twice that amount on Up All Night and now make me actively turn off.
For me the advent of national Lbc; an improved Talksport (with more football commentaries) and smart phones - has taken the edge off the "breaking news and sport" Five Live.
Add the fact that commentaries have been lost, and a significant number of the presenters and programmes are very inferior or just plain stale - and in my opinion Five is damn ready for a major overhaul.

Good.
A comedy? Are you sure?
