BRIAN MATTHEW

Terrible decision to take him off, BBC trying to say it was mutally agreed, not what Brian Matthew is saying !

not enough youf appeal

He is 88 years old,time to give somebody younger a chance,he sounded as if he was struggling last time I listened.

Brian voted for Brexit, I hear, and also said he thought Donald was a good'un.

Also didn't have a raft of family also in BBC to look after him ... and wasn't a paedo.

All in all, not just their type.

try to hang tony Blackburn out to dry too,that didn't work,ba$tards

Blacburn was always on borrowed time at the BBC after this.

Never a fan anyway Terry. I can remember him blubbering on his breakfast show when Tessa left him, soft buggger

yes remember that well k.k, tried to win her back with a Diana ross song

^ Blackburn boasts he's slept with 500 women. That is nothing, Ken Barlow claims he has slept with 1,000 women. Bill Wyman says he slept with almost 2,000 women. Why do they have to count ?

I've slept with 1 woman 14,000 times.

Thats 14,000 woman sleeps, compared to their paltry 500, 1,000, 2,000.

Lightweights

Makes you wonder if he followed the ' t1ts first' protocol with all 500 or just got straight to business so he could fit them all in.

How long have you been married, mememe ?

BBC plunge to even  deeper depths...Tim Rice is a nice enough chap but Sound of the Sixties IS the Brian Matthew show.  What a terrible deceitful way to treat a great broadcaster .

Thinly veiled "I've had 14,000 w4nks" imo.

Still impressive, nevertheless.

im sure 1,000"s saying the same thing twizzle,
I might even boycott the show and its been a Saturday must for years for me

Boycott   

whats funny idiot

he might not be the right colour or religion

singing from the wrong hymn sheet


ageist barstewards

I remember him.

Non-molester also.

Bastards!

Janice Long and The Dark Lord also axed from the Midnight until 4pm slot . They will play repeats of Hits form the 60'S, 70'S AND 80'S through the night. I liked the Janice Long show after midnight, I feel she knew she was on the slippery slope after they stopped her having LIVE acts and guests in.

14,001 now.

How long have you been married, mememe ?

46 years - happily, thankfully.

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not available.

But just for the record, what are you offering and where do you live?  (Asking for a friend, sort of)

Bit harsh on Brian Matthew. He was doing OK. Still got all his marbles and a great depth of knowledge on pop music. I always enjoyed listening to him. Having said that, Tim Rice is a very good replacement. Quite polished. However, do feel a bit sorry for BM if he has been put out to grass.

Same with Janice Long and The Dark Lord. But not such a fan of these 2. Janice Long was in tears and could barely speak towards the end of her last show the other night.

"I feel she knew she was on the slippery slope after they stopped her having LIVE acts and guests in."

Probably, but giving an ageing DJ a slot after midnight is surely a sign they are on the slippery slope.......

This is sad.
I liked his show on Saturday mornings, very informative and interesting and I'd been wondering why Tim Rice had the gig.

Had it on yesterday morning and the wife asked what I was listening to and explained to her that I loved listening to Brian Matthew but he was off sick and thought he might not come back at his age and just hoped he was ok,but this is a bloody disgrace.Rice is ok but Matthew was a big part of presenting music in the 60s therefore a must for the show while he is willing and able.

and he is ribero

I remember the Stones doing Memphis Tennessee live on Saturday Club was about 14 at the time BBC is run by total morons.

Brian Matthew - a unique voice that has been with us for all those years. Great shame that he's gone imo. He was there on my parents radio in the '60's. Always reassuring to hear his voice on the BBC Light Programme.

latest plan is tony Blackburn takes off and the show starts at 6am ffs!
so the bbc are ruining the best they have, the same bbc who employ madeley,rice,ball,tarbuck,carr and o"grady as DJ"s, all sh!t and I bet don't come cheap

At least TB is a suitable replacement(although would still prefer Brian) but what the fook are the BBC doing in starting the prog at 6am..ridiculous decision but their again we are talking about the BBC whankors

tony is great but sounds of the 60s is brian,good news is thousands have signed an on line petition to bring the great man back and to leave the show as it was

Never a fan of Tony Blackburn.  Quite boring, imo.

BM on the other hand is a Master!

TB's got the BM gig?

Could be worse.  Much worse.

Good fortune Tony.

Keep it real.

Also the new time slot starting at 6 is bonkers !

Agree, the show belongs to Brian Matthew, Tony Blackburn would be a good replacement eventually and Tim Rice is also very good, but BM has been treated very badly. Blackburn was fine on Pick Of The Pops and would prefer him doing that show than Paul Gambaccini.

....thousands have signed an on line petition to bring the great man back...

Just signed it, 9654 supporters so far, only 346 more needed to reach 10,000

Where's the petition?  I'll sign.

https://www.change.org/p/bbc-reinstate-brian-matthew-as-presenter-of-sounds-...

^ well done boys

Obviously signed but not sure about the financial side of the petition.

nor me but very few have done that

at the end of this week show,tim rice said brian would be back next week!!
surely not a win for people power? but if it is GET IN!!

His last show today Terry, hope you caught it.

Returning with a new show in the near future.

"That's your lot for this week, See you again soon..."

They don't make them like him anymore 

Great show...sounded like his old self...good news we haven't seen the last of Brian

He did sound ok today twizzle, I'm glad they've found him another gig

i did kk thanks and very much enjoyed as per,
but one of the mysteries to me is,if he"s still deemed good enough to do another show why sacked him from this where he is still the master,nobody will do as good a job as brian with sound of the 60s

I get the feeling they are going to offer him some late night spot in the hope he will refuse.

As you say he's a perfect fit for the job.

Sounded like he was on life support.

and for the show itself a 6.00 slot, well b0ll0cks to that I say and up yours the BBC.and as it turns out not just my words but that of the trumpster, she also thinks the beeb is a shower of sh1t

* he (of course)

Moving the time slot to 6-0'Clock, probably because the BBC want to kill it off....reckon it's been on the cards for some time. Otherwise why not keep it 8 till 10.

And now Brian Matthew will do occasional other shows.

And why suddenly replace Brian Matthew after 27 years, it's his show and he didn't want to go. None of it makes much sense !

nope none,i remember steve wright interviewing brian and phil about the show last year,and wright said sounds of 60s had listening fiqures he could only dream of!

A great show to go out on. Never missed SOTS with Brian. Tony Blackburn @6.00 am No thank you. I might condescend to listen on I player when I have nothing better to do. Replaced 8.00- 10.00 by Saturday Morning show with the multi talentless Dermot O' Learing. No chance!

really!^ its all down to "pop master" now as there is nothing else worth listening too,well maybe wrighty in the afternoon when workin(no g)

sad news today that the great man has passed away, a broken heart? the bbc were disgraceful the way they treated him for sure,
sound of the 60s will forever be my favourite show for many reason so thanks so much brian, you will be missed very much

Thanks for letting us know terry.I echo your sentiments entirely.

Veteran DJ Brian Matthew ISN'T dead: BBC mistakenly announce Sounds of the 60s presenter's passing after 'being wrongly informed by his family'

.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4382528/Radio-2-Sounds-60s-DJ-Brian-Matthew-dies-aged-88.html

His family thought he was dead, but he isn't

Latest news: his condition has improved from 'dead' to 'alive'

BBC wrongly announced he had died at 88, but he is still alive although critically ill. Pretty poor whoever got that wrong. Fake news !

What a c...k up surely these things should be cheked to avoid distress

As my typing  should read checked

As my typing  should read checked

you couldn't make it up guys

BBC is once again reporting he has died.  RIP.

RIP

After sacking him from Sounds Of The Sixties, the BBC prematurely announced he had died, and then upgraded his condition from 'dead' to 'alive', shabby treatment indeed for one of their best ever presenters. Like so many on the radio and TV who can be irritating, there was nothing irritating about him. Remember Brian Matthew from 60s TV show Thank Your Lucky Stars, and Janice Nichols "I'll give it five" or as she said it in her Brummie accent "Oi'll give it foive"

Sad to hear Brian has died, one of the best.

RIP

RIP Brian, he was so easy on the ear on Saturday mornings. Blackburn is dire.

woof hucking woof

Yep, RIP Brian. Great Sat am show.
Shamefully treated by the BBC.

RIP Brian.

Your dulcet tones will be missed

R.I.P. Brian!

Sounds of the Sixties, will never be the same without you!
