I am not sure what, if any specials Radio 2 will be offering at Easter.
Checking Radio Times it appears Sara Cox is covering breakfast for the week of 30th March followed by Zoe Ball at 9.30 covering for Ken.
Craig Charles covers for Steve Wright on Good Friday but not sure about Easter Monday, maybe it'll be Craig or maybe Tony Blackburn and another of his specials.

Also on Easter Monday, I shall be listening to songs from acts who have had 2 (or more) notable stand-out songs. You could say I shall listen out for my favourite 2nd favourite songs, if you see what I mean! There may be some solo examples, such as Paul McCartney ex-Beatles and Rachel Stevens ex-S Club 7!
5am Vanessa Feltz
6.30am Sara Cox
9.30am Zoe Ball
5pm Liza Tarbuck
8pm Jo Wiley (not Monday or Friday)
Just 12-5pm hosted by males - I'm outraged:o:D
What about Janice Long is she not on?
Just had a proper 90s revisit earlier, driving behind an Austin Maestro with Mark Goodier on the radio listening to Boyz 2 Men!
Radio 1 a la 1992!!
Good to hear Mark again but also disappointed not to hear Craig.
yes but when will they be more than just stand ins on the main daytime schedule? It's decades since the last female DJ was on the main line up on radio 2 .That's shameful in this day and age !
You never know, we might hear him a bit more now as they don't seem to have a 'last minute, last minute' cover since they binned Allinson!
I find Liza's show on Saturday thoroughly entertaining and there's always a varied selection of music. She may not be your cup of tea but I'm looking forward to hearing her next week on Drive.
Possibly some emergency filming on Corrie tart he couldn't get out of.
It was great to hear Mark, totally professional and like he'd never been away.
Cox, Ball, Goodier and Mayo all on Radio 2 today.
Radio 1 for grown ups.
I think the show was already prepared for Craig Charles. Mark just presented it in his usual professional style. I don't think anyone else could have done a better job last minute.
Would definitely use Mark for cover assuming he is available. Would be a perfect fit for Ken, Steve or Simon's shows. I guess they are trying to promote female djs, Cox, Ball and Tarbuck.
He said during the show that he'd hand picked the songs with his producer.
I think Craig had play listed the show, I could even imagine Craig in my mind presenting some of the links.
Great music though but was a little surprised when Madonna's current single Ghost Town was included. Hardly a soul track.
At least that's slightly better than "Easter Bank Holiday Friday" which I once heard in an advert on Kiss FM!
It does matter one halfpenny as long as the best presenters available are on the station. Sara Cox should have a daily show but that it because she is a very capable, interesting presenter, not because she is a woman. If it as the case that all the best presenters at a given time were male, would you really want to have a slightly less than top rate team for the sake of equality?
Jo is like quite a lot of people around 50 who sound and have the attitudes of what would have in the past been associated with people 10/20 years younger. (Simon Mayo in his mid-50s is another example). Lisa sounds a very traditional 50.
