I don't like him, i never have, it's just one of those things, i did not like Wogan either, I listen to ken Bruce , mainly for Popmaster, i like Radcliffe and Maconie, that's the extent of my interest in Radio 2

^gingerist REPORTED

chris evans is a natural-loved TFI-luved his tea time slot-if anyone's gonna live up to Wogan's slot HE will

I thought wogan was irritating. I think evans is irritating.

perfect replacement.

I've always liked Chris Evans, since The Big Breakfast and I hope he does well. I don't understand why he;s doing it though, he must have more money than he can ever spend.

agree entirely

Evans is loud, immature and irritating. Also starting half-an-hour earlier than Wogan at 7,
putting Sarah Kennedy back to 5 - 7. Don't think a lot of Wogan's audience will stay with him,
then he will need to get a new audience, how successful he will be depends if he can get that audience.

You're a miserable fecker, rob :)

Chris Evans is a prat....

Personal life
Evans has a daughter, Jade (born 1986), by former girlfriend Alison Ward.[1] In 1998 after a long running dispute, the couple reached an out of court arrangement whereby Evans provided a home for his child and an allowance to Ward.[4]

Evans married Carol McGiffin in 1991; but their 1994 split was not amicable and McGiffin has been scathing about Evans in newspaper articles in the years since;[2][8] they were divorced in 1997.[41] During his time at BBC Radio 1 and Virgin, Evans had well publicised relationships with Kim Wilde, model Rachel Tatton-Brown (whose sister was a researcher on The Big Breakfast), assistant producer Suzi Aplin, Anthea Turner,[2] Geri Halliwell,[42] and Melanie Sykes.[5] After meeting teenage pop star Billie Piper and after she proposed on his 35th birthday, the couple married in a £200 ceremony at The Little Church of the West in Las Vegas on 6 May 2001; attended by six guests including best man Danny Baker.[43] In September 2004, news stories circulated regarding a trial separation - Evans at the time had a stall at Camden Market, where he was found selling furniture and paintings from his London and Los Angeles homes, commenting: "I just want to get rid of it all, it's just a headache."[27] In Spring 2005, it was confirmed that Evans and Piper would divorce, and, with Piper publicly stating that she would take no money from Evans, it is believed to have been an amicable split. Almost three years after they had separated, Evans and Piper finally divorced in May 2007, but have remained on good terms.[44]

A fanatical golfer who plays with a handicap of 15, Evans met professional golfer, part-time model and columnist for Golf Punk magazine Natasha Shishmanian when they became golf partners in the All*Star Cup celebrity tournament in Newport - Evans gave his 17-year-old caddy at the event, Natalie Harrison, a £10,000 Russian Kristall Smolensk diamond he won for the quality of his play.[45] Evans married Shishmanian in a London Register office on Saturday 11 August 2007, and held a reception in Faro, Portugal the following weekend, attended by ex-wife Piper.[46]

On 17 July 2008, the DJ announced that the couple were expecting their first baby together.[47] Their son, Noah Nicolas Martin was born on 10 February 2009 at London's Portland Hospital.[48]

In March 2008 after playing a round of golf with rockstar Meat Loaf, Evans admitted in his Radio 2 blog that he had taken "magic mushrooms" at the rock star's later concert at the Royal Albert Hall.[49]

A fan of fast cars, and particularly Ferraris,[50][51] Evans was banned from driving for 56 days in 2001 and fined £600 after admitting to a speeding charge at Staines Magistrates' Court after being stopped by Surrey Police when racing at 105 mph on the A3 road in Esher in January 2001.[52] In 2005 Evans crashed his silver 575M Maranello into a verge near his then Surrey home.[53] On 18 May 2008, Evans attended RM Auctions/Sotheby's Ferrari auction in Maranello, Italy, and bought a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder (formerly owned by US actor James Coburn) for the world record price of 6.4 Million Euros (€7,040,000 including fees, the highest price ever paid for a car at auction).[54][55]

In August 2002 Evans was a member of crew aboard the sailing yacht Nausicaa with six other people, when James Ward - landlord of the White Horse in Hascombe, Surrey, which was then Evans' local - drowned in an accident in the Solent.[56] In September 2007, Evans and Shishmanian started helicopter lessons at Shoreham Airport,[57] with Evans gaining his helicopter Private Pilots Licence in January 2008,[58] and now owns a Robinson R44.

Chris Evans is also related to Scottish Rugby internationals Thom Evans and Max Evans.[59]

- so do I - good post !

Mind you. I'm no fan of Evans AT ALL.

Looks like I'm on my own then.

I like chris evans, a natural on the radio.

Never listened to his radio prog though....

Hoss, I'm in with you, I like him.

I used to watch the Big Breakfast every day and when I was out I'd tape it.

His ex, McGiffin gets on my ti1ts, a minger, totally devoid of any talent.

Just like McCall.

McGiffin also mad some un-complimentary remarks about her s-e-x life with Evans,
and now can't stop raving about her young toyboy lover practically half her age,
good luck to her if she is happy at last.

Charlie, why do I think that your taping was more due to Denise than for Chris?

that bint of loose women doesnt deserve comment

evans is a class act and like last time he tookover a popular slot will end up with more listeners in time than wogan

How can someone so ugly get so many lookers?

evans is ok in very small doses,walker would be my choice,nice on the old lugs and knows good music unlike said evans

:^0

Believe it or not the highlight of the show for me was Zig and Zag.

I have 2 x 3 hours tapes of just them that I did for my daughters, but I made copies for myself. :^0

^ I would have said put Sarah Kennedy on from 6-30 to 8-30, think she would have kept
a large % of Wogan listeners,
or even bring back Tony Blackburn, but not Chris Evans on Radio 2 at that time in the morning !

trouble with bunty is she off tom dick 30 weeks of the year

Evans is without a doubt a v good broadcaster and is capable of the odd bit of genius,but can get a bit annoying.It's an odd audience choice as surely the majority of wogans middle class"middle england" listeners will find Evans a tad abrasive and childish?I can only gather they are going for the huge 30-50ish market that is too old for radio 1 but likes their music and remembers Evans at virgin and the like.It will give the station a huge raft of new listners even if they loose a lot of the "Midsomer Murders" crowd

Sarah Kennedy wouldnt be any good for the breakfast show..... she needs to be on as early as possible so that only a few listeners are awake enough to notice that she cannot string a sentence together succesfully more than once in four or five attempts.

evans, for a ginger, has done very well for himself with the totty.

Genius in my opinion.

Incidentally, I'd like to see him take over from Wossy but apparently Graham Norton has it in the bag. Madness IMO.

McGiffin - what a joke, does anybody seriously think she'd have the profile she does if she had n't been married to Evans?

t f i , has to go down as tv gold imo, evans has allways delivered the goods " , hes drive time show was good , wonder what will be his first song tomorrow ?? oasis maybee my moneys on a classic !!

McGiffin used to work in Maidstone keying data into a computer ......... a brain numbing job.

She's done ok. Good luck to her.

Remember Nick and Anne on breakfast tv ?

I think she slept with Ann Diamond's husband.

Chris Evans is fine 95% of the time .Its the 5% where his big head takes over his big mouth that annoys me . I supose it will be ok though as I tend to switch to radio 4 when it happens.

Never been a big fan of Wogan ,again ok most of the time but he too had a big head sometimes although in a differnent way

Thought we'd got rid of Wogan for good but no - he's turning up next week to front some game show on channel 4 next week. Why can't he just retire gracefully ffs

loves the wonga

Zig and Zag were brilliant charlie. i mean proper funny as fek

To this day I don't know why we have DJ's on the radio. I can honestly say they have never ever improved radio imo. Lets just have some fekking music and perhaps a few snippets of proper news.

Why do we have dj's. anyone know?

save lives

Remember when ross and brand were having there thing, in the end they sacked this faceless unknown woman who was head of radio 2 or some other bbc sh.it. they interviewed evans and he was almost in tears. wa.anker.

Evans screwed up before with his breakfast shows, lets see what happens this time......
can't stand the bloke.

Evans single-handedly dragged Radio 1 kicking and screaming out of the past and vastly improved audience figures in the process.

Fair enough he made a huge mistake by walking out on them - but I think he'd be the 1st to admit that.

I thought wogan was irritating. I think evans is irritating.

Another vote for the above post

Id have preffered Radcliffe and Maconie

Best prog on Radio 2

the mans mellowed,bound to be a hit,the sounds of the 60"s is the best show on radio 2 rob,closely followed by your choice

chris evans = great dj

Bring back Sarah Kennedy to 7.30, ridiculous making her start at 5 a.m.

I had to turn off Chris Evans this a,m. could not stand it. I wonder how many million he is getting paid?

is it really of seismic national importance who presents a fcking breakfast radio show??!

He was far too chirpy...just didn't sound right at that time on Radio 2.

it is in this day and age

dismal stuff

i wish Evans would crawl back under the stone he came from

just read his autobiography.interesting read.his dad was a failed bookie

Wogan a legend. Hilarious once you knew the in-jokes. Sadly missed.

Evans v good but poss too chirpy for the morning.

Agree Radcliffe & Maconie would have been good shout for brekkie

McGiffin is kidding herself if she think she can keep a 27 year old toyboy, very sad

I have a whole tape of Zig and Zag and The Crunch 15 minute slot for as year.. A young Matine McCutcheon, Dani Minoue and others are all guests..

The call me ragga zagga and thats me name
Im on the big breakfast and its brining me fame
I gotta fat bellay from eating jellay
but I dont kare cuz Im on the telly
and the girl the girls they all love me HA

( with Zag doing backing vocals)

brilliant

paul ross and gabby rosslein on bbc london got off to a promising start today

irritating

Heard it myself as well. Had an open mind. Irritating and a bit self satisfied. I can kind of take it in the evenings, but at 7.30 a.m.? Not a chance.

I enjoyed it. But then again I always liked his shows from Big Breakfast through radio 1 and TFI.

never listened to wogan. never listened to radio 2. wont be listening to chris evans.

listened briefly to first 30 mins last 2 mornings, had an open mind although I don't like Evans,
too hyper for that time in the morning, also find him childish and silly and annoying, apart from that.......
