With you on this one. Dotun's a great broadcaster, and a great guy. It's just jealousy on these boards.
How can it be jealousy right honest, some people like him and some don't, its all down to personal taste not an uncontrollable emotion. If you think Dotun is great then fair play to you thats your choice.
Did you hear Peter the cabbie say last night that he has seen a whole load of comments on the web about Dotun? Dotun brushed over that very quickly - maybe fearing that all the negative comments would be mentioned more than any positive ones.

I heard that, i tuned in only because i thought Rhod was on last night and i just got a few minutes of that, the subject was so quick to change that it was like someone had edited the audio as if it was a pre rec show.
Has anyone read his book?
Can I Have My Balls Back Please? (Paperback)
by Dotun Adebayo (Author)
All the issues surrounding being a man in today's world are here: From an examination of the rituals of modern courtship; to whether English, Jamaican or Nigerian men are better at oral sex; to the fears of being a father. Dotun leaves no taboo untouched in his mission to tell it straight from a brotha's mouth.

He was at his toe curling best last night with the Gabby Cabby and the other person. He seems to have no embrassment threshold, for him or his guests! I half expect him to have a Turkey on near next christmas and asking it if its looking forward to getting roasted, then acting surprised when the poor thing kicks off!
I tend to listen to UAN because all of the stations here ) in Northern Ireland) are automated in the early hours. Having said that, Dotun's style actually makes me cringe and feel uncomfortable. I don't know why he bothers with guests, as he constantly tries to butt in and hijack whatever they're trying to say. I generally end up switching off when I can take it no longer, especially when the World Music feature is on (terrible). Referring to the phone-in regarding fave black actor etc Could you imagine the furore if a station in Northern Ireland asked for your fave Catholic or Protestant actor/singer/footballer? I cannot believe the BBc doesn't have better presenters worthy of the airtime.
As bad as Dotun can be you still have a choice of not listening.
I usually switch off Alan Green, Richard Bacon, Stephen Nolan and Victoria Derbyshire
There's nothing worse when dropping off to sleep with earphones in, than the Beeb deciding to play an advert for Alan Green vomiting into the microphone, making you jump out of your skin.
Add to your list:
Danny Baker - why does he always appear on Liverpool Euro Cup nights?. His whole programme is just him rabbiting about nothing. Probably because he doesn't get many callers because he dosen't know anything about football.
The syrupy Mayo, fawning over some no mark American woman who has written a book!

Is there anything you actually do like about the station?
I see the New York part of the show was better, although I laughed at the way they had the first caller on the film phone in bring up the fact that the African/black film awards was racists as there isn't a whites only award ceremony.
For the record, I agreed with the caller.
Where's the post gone from the caller who I mention in my post above? He was on here the other day and now I can't find it.
Is there anything you actually do like about the station?
There is actually. I probably listen to 5 live more than any other station. I especially like Drive, particularly when Peter Allen is presenting it. (The best inteviewer on the station in my view)
I also like parts of Dotuns UAN, i.e the football phone-in and the Gabby Cabby spots. He does however have his faults, but don't we all.
As bad as Dotun can be you still have a choice of not listening.
The real problem is at that time of night - you have a fraction of the choice of listening as you do in the daytime, as all BBC locals take it, and commercial networks are all in back-to back music mode.

I read your posts before they were deleted and I didn't think you said anything that might fall foul of the Digital Spy's T&Cs. I can see why a newbie moderator might have been concerned but I thought you had some valid points which I'd be interested to know the outcome regarding your complaint to BBC.

I agree with you Mark was excellent and I really enjoyed him being on the last 2 weeks.
"Dotun could you please just call me Elliss I'm finding it a little strange", or words to that effect. Why was Dotun doing that?
It's almost as if he enjoys those toe curling moments when the guests are very confused and slightly irritated by what he's saying or asking them.
Like when he asked The Gabby Cabby to guess a cricket score and just wouldn't let it go when he said he had no idea.
Very strange!

With respect, I'm wondering if you mistyped a word in your final sentence - surely you mean 'two', not 'few'?
