I think it was the gadget giveaway taken from former LBC James Whale drivetime.

Seems he is trying to get old people to part with £1.50 or so a day for a chance to win some low value item they wont use.

I have been guilty of doing that in order to reduce my excess balance on my PAYG Smartphone! A complete waste of time and money of course.
![]() It also makes me think that for every text he gets at 25p to the studio, he's using this as a great example to his bosses that if he was to take calls they would lose out on all the revenue they are used too. SA as much as he is a great presenter he sounds like a broken record, slagging off the same celebs day in / day out. Not only this but if he hates programs such as 'The only way is Essex' then why the hell does he watch it all the time? Steve just needs to chill out a bit and try and bring some new topics to discuss, even using his usual bitchy nature but he needs to discuss new things. |

Not following this thread just replying to the question....
I have never, let me write that in capitals to emphasise, NEVER got the big hoo-ha about Steve Allen. Whenever I've listened to him I've always found him to be unpleasant in the extreme. I know loads of breakfast jocks listen on the way into work and champion him as hilarious and "I wish I could say that!" Well please don't, there's enough bad-spirited bitchiness in the world without it seeping through thank you. He bores and infuriates me! |

What is going on with LBC's late nights?
Duncan Barkes is Increasingly becoming more irritable and opinionated like Steve Allen. Cristo's one night / one subject shows are always grim - abortion, ex-jailbirds, transgender, suicide. Then to cap it all there's SA perpetuated by LBC's 'Gay Mafia Management' http://www.lbc.co.uk/steve-allen-3528 |

Worse still, is his hypocrisy, in that he slags of people such as Jeff Brazier with whom he used for one of his terrible "In Conversation" programmes this morning and which I don't make a habit of listenening to.

I'm listening to him now, first time for months, and finding him quite obnoxious. I seem to recall there used to be some humour in his 'act' but now he really is just a bitter old queen.

Perhaps he feels unloved. |

I must admit I haven't actually heard one of Steve's "In Conversation with..." for years, but just the thought of them makes me chuckle.
2 minutes of incredibly inept questioning, followed by 50 minutes of Steve droning on about himself. Usually with a subject whom he regularly slags off on his programme (apart from during the weeks leading up to the interview, since he hopes that the subject doesn't find out, as he'd wet his knickers if he ever had to actually defend himself on air with someone who could answer back). Good old Steve Allen. He is a national treasure, and we wouldn't have him any other way. (o; |

Well, the programmes only last for half an hour for each guest which is a merciful release should you come across them now.
The last one heard was that actor chum of his from the Bill, TV's Graham Cole, and it seemed like at least an hour. |

Ah well you see: that's the magical skill of Steve Allen. He somehow manages to make 30 minutes (minus adverts) of showbiz prattle seem like several hours of toe-curling hot air. It's a rare gift that he has.

He sounds paticularly vile this morning. Ranting about dangerous dogs but seems to be saying 14 year old girl was at fault for eating a meat pie in front of them and it was obvious they would attack her,
![]() Oh dear, no ambiguity now, he thinks the young girl was 'dumb' for eating in front of the dogs. Really quite offensive.
