Are Richard Allinson's overnight shows the best in the UK?

His weekend sat and sunday 3-6am shows really have a great mix of music and chat ideally tuned to the hour. Is there anyone doing a better job?

Allinson is totally over rated on here. He is a good jock but nothing special. Large commercial stations are full of Allinsons. A very good solid jock or what you might call a safe pair of hands.
I think you vastly underrate his skill as a dj
Seeing as most other stations at that time are voicetracked for just non stop music then it's not a hard act to beat really.
Solid and professional guy though, always a decent listen.
I can't stand either Lester or Allinson and can never understand why they have such fanatical followers on here. I often leave my radio running on the Sleep timer late at night but always ensure it switches off before either programme starts.
Trouble is what he's talking about is generally dull.
I'm not a big fan of Lester either and think he's stuck in the past.
And to me, it's a style that sounds outdated and somewhat patronising. I do like him when he is presenting documentaries or doing a solely music based show.
You must work for Global ?
Yes the faux bonhomi of CE is exhausting
Thanks for the warning not to switch over to Radio 2 until 09:30h.
I hope it was a one off I think Chris is back tomorrow
To be fair it's not exactly original to Simon either.
He is very competent but bland and does not pose any threat to those whose things he looks after.
Not when he first started covering for Chris. The media were right over it.
I think he does, he's certainly a big apologist for them on here!>:(>:(
Obviously doesn't think before hitting the keyboard by using the words "dull" and "bland" to have a dig....
Only one group in radio that's dull and bland......
