I do agree with you. One exception though. When he started on BBC GLR about 1991/2, he did (I think) a Sunday morning show - the first few weeks of it were classic listens - he had good ideas, he had energy and it worked well. I think that he was also one of the producers of The Word on C4 and had a bit of gossip from that which featured on his radio show.
However, after about six months, the energy sort of seemed to disappear, and he became very mediocre to me. Since then, again to me, he has become more annoying, than inventive, and I do not think that he is a good choice for Breakfast.
Now, if it was his brother, Jonathan, who was to do Breakfast, that would be a different thing. JR's Saturday Radio 2 show, was a cracker, even in the days when it had to be prerecorded. I would love to hear JR on Radio again, along with Andy, his then producer.
