Any one know why Chris Evans has been off for the past few days? Never heard Richard Allinson mentioning the problem.

He has a chest infection apparently.
On a side note, he must be due a week or two off soon, I don’t think he’s had a holiday (apart from the odd day) since mid-April, which is quite a continuous run for him!
Blimey 3 hours a day 5 days a week = 15 Hours + 1 HOUR for one show. Not as it's hard work.
Nor poorly paid either.
And your point is.
I pretty sure Chris does a full days work. He is freelance and i'm sure has other interests too.
This forum is ludicrous at times
Totally live tv show generally involve planning, scripting and a full run through earlier in the day. It will pretty much take up the whole day. Yes is possible to wing radio and do very little prep but those who are professional and take it seriously don't do this. I'm sure the presenter of the countries biggest music breakfast show does take it seriously.
Yes i totally agree, and whether you like it or not, his radio show has plenty of content. I just can't fathom why someone would think The One Show is "an hour's work". What next? Huw Edwards rolls in from the pub at 9:59pm with a copy of the Daily Star under his arm??!
I think he had a long weekend over may bank holiday for the grand prix
Have you ever presented a professional radio or television programme Occy?
If not, how do you know what the hours involved are?
I'm very impressed by the range of creative content they manage to produce on that show every single day. It's obvious that the team put a huge amount of effort into the show, which is also why it's enormously popular.
I'm quite enjoying Richard Allison, although I have to remind myself every morning it's not a bank holiday!
Can't work it out myself!
I wonder how the listening figures have changed, as soon as I realised Allinson was doing the programme I switched to Radio 4 and have not turned Radio 2 on before 09:30h since then.
Now Regards to Richard Allinson, he's not bland or boring its just he still has the commercial radio style from 80s\90s about him use to listen to him on Capital early breakfast show. He got the gigs at Radio 2 and again picked up a loyal fan base on his late show and saturday afternoon slot. Thank goodness The bosses at Radio 2 have got someone who can run the desk and can cover at short notice. he's probably at the top of the cover list and is the safest pair of hands on that cover list. richard is doing breakfast again tomorrow, lets all enjoy it together.
Even radio djs are entitled to some time off! ;-)
Richard Allison = good listen
Chris Evans = off switch
Sorry
Anyway Richard show is finishing around October and hasn't been sacked if you read the statement ' He's happy still able to cover shows on Radio 2 and will now be able to concentrate on his production company'
I guess he's local to Zoe Ball who usually covers when Chris is off on holiday as she lives in Brighton.
They probably think all those spontaneous responses and off the cuff jokes on the One Show are genuine too, not scripted down to a 'T' and rehearsed several times in advance during the day as they are.
