Strange bringing this thread back after 4 months. I think Steve being forced (allegedly?) to take calls has helped the situation. I don't recall hearing chugger or blue badge stories for a while.

I used to listen to Steve regulary back in the 90s (via Sky), especially on a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning when Eric Wiltshire was on with the tech spot.
I recall one night they were caught out by a hoaxer and announced the death of Johnnie Walker (who was ill with cancer at the time) What timeslot is Steve on now? |

His morning buddies have all been banned into obscurity and he's now been told by new management to accept phone calls (no doubt highly selected ones, at that). |

Steve Allen's hours have been reduced, lately. Gone is his Sunday morning show and now he's left with his 5am-7am Mon-Fri programme and of course his terrible celebrity interviews called 'In Conversation With', or something like that.
Simply dreadful. His morning buddies have all been banned into obscurity and he's now been told by new management to accept phone calls (no doubt highly selected ones, at that). Evil man.ROFLMAO at his 2 fans saying that it's an act. How would they know it's an act, do you all know him personally Course you don't ..... you're just making excuses. |

Steves backed up on dreadful, everyone is stupid now. One (very bored) day I will attempt to count the amounts of stupids in a show, I think I will need a very large calculator.
However this is hardly scintillating radio is it and makes rather dull listening? Fortunately I was able to descend into sleep again and leave all those virtuous people, phoning in, to deaf ears. |

He was very good when he had a 4 hour overnight show, there was room to breathe. Now, he has to cram that 4 hours of bitterness and bitching into just 2 hours. It doesn't work and he sounds all the worse for it.
Sadly he seems to be rapidly approaching "Smashy and Nicey graveyard shift" territory. |

Here we are years later and Steve Allen is still waffling cringe-making, dogmatic, boring and self-obsessed nonsense.
So much for 'London's Biggest Conversation' - did that include Mr Allen talking to himself for 2 1/2 hours? Nobody wants to phone in. In a demented fog he still witters on - Kerry Katona, Wayne Rooney, Vernon Kay, numerous TV presenters and 'celebrities' - 'ghastly/ghastly', 'horrible/horrible', 'waste of space/waste of space' etc etc. His vitriolic opinions (phoney or genuine) maybe, but did it not occur to him people can make up their own minds. Steve Allen's TV presenting? Here he is 15 years ago squirming gooey-eyed like Dale Winton's girl-friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPoH9bbcrM |

Hello Jackpot. Look who's back! Still pumping out the same old rubbish about Steve Allen eh? I can't make the wonderful suggestion I made to you before as I got banned, but I'd still take up the offer if I was you.

He's OK in small doses - but then, so is small pox!
If you take him seriously, he's a grim human being. If you take his show with a pinch of salt and interpret what he does as a character or a cultivated schtick, then it's funny in an old, sour pantomime dame way: camp on the verge of being nasty. Unfortunately, if I listen too long, I start erring on the side of the former rather than the latter. |

Re. his LBC show now. I would say he's also good for the old LBC anecdotes of yesteryear when I listened as teenager. Good too for the old memories of tv comedy charactors such as Queenie Watts. I hadn't heard that name for decades until he came up with it a couple of years ago! |

Great clip that bazbbe, thanks. I have a vhs recording of him doing some entertainment show he used to do back in 2000 for channel 5. Interesting to see how he's weathered the ails of life since then.

I've looked back on some TV programmes he goes on about ('dreary old bag', 'fat bird', ghastly/ghastly etc) and can't agree. Somebody said he was funny. If that's funny I'm a box of frogs (his words)! |
