He's pretty much spent all his working life in BBC radio, and with 5 live in particular.
To borrow from CLR James - "what do they know of cricket who only cricket know?"
A blog celebrating 20 years of 5live and half of it is taken up with Wall writing about himself. Another one on a massive ego trip . Who is interested ? What about a mention for Fi Glover ?
There seems to be one hell of a angry contributor to the comments section.
Minions ? That's a bit harsh ?
I'm writing to the BBC's Ian Fletcher, Head of Values to complain !
These new preset station dab radios help terrifically. Able to switch back and forth between
national Lbc, Talksport and Five. The radio is increasingly on the two former stations as Five persists with a very tired and stale weekday daytime dross. Having the excellent Peter Allen go cfrom pillar to post does not change things.
I think Talksport should be Talkfootball as they never cover other sport.
Has been great to hear Sir Peter on different shows over the past week, being an improvement to the normal presenters on virtually every one - he was even an improvement on his normal self yesterday evening If only Jane Garvey would return to Drive.....

Doesn't seem to stop Derbyshire....she's not in Salford either......
And yes curmy and Cyril that Carrie and Fedster have been at it on the BBC boards at each other for ages....Fedster is like our lost and forgotten BBC apologist mapperley...
She does write well though and amazed she's not been blocked by mods off the BBC boards

Neither is Rhod Sharp or Simon Mayo. Bacon is often in London and various weekend shows come from London too. Funny how Victoria is always singled out on here despite her location making no difference at all to the output.
i hour 42 minutes, Peter Allen and Jane Garvey come together for one final BBC Radio Five Live Show, to celebrate the radio station's 20th birthday. ENJOY! And savour!

Bacon's show really should come from London as he would be able to do far more interviews face to face - most of his current guests are sat in a studio in London whilst he is in Salford, its pointless.
How can daytime Radio 5 survive when up against these national dab radio stations?
Lbc TalkSport 5
Brazil Steve Allen Burdon/Campbell
Colin Murray Nick Ferrari Derbyshire
Hawksbee & J Julia Hartley-B Fogerty
Bacon
Lbc has Boris Johnson, Clegg (spit) and Farage too.
Plus there is Radio 2, 4 and Classic also to compeye with.
No small wonder 5 refuses to publish rating figures for individual programmes within the schedule despite them being available...

If only we could get the carers and home help on zero hours/minim wage in this country to work as hard as these BBC 5 live presenters and their massive wages, gold plated pensions and two hour day.
We had some excuse for a southern BBC clown to inform us in the last ten minutes that we should all be eternally grateful to the BBC even if we never use it and the fact they ship up London presenters to Salford at great expense really does mean the BBC is representing the North of the country. Even Peter Allen didn't believe the guff fed to him by the fool and knows that the BBC license fee is thankfully on it's way out.>:(
A week of being told how great they all are really grinds,self praise is no praise.>:(

Must be an easy number; when none of them are rushing to do a Suzanna Reid... Mind, probably no one would want them.

Great, that would be brilliant, I watched some of it on the webcam, I don't think they had that the last time Jane was on Drive.
I thought she was going to slap Peter when he was goading her about Woman's Hour

Jane Garvey said on Twitter that Peter's the best, & she doesn't know where he gets his energy from, she was exhausted by the end of Drive !
