I don't like Radio 2's new jingle.

That's it. I want the old one back I used to sing along and now it just isn't the same.

I know there's so much more in the world to be bothered about but this bothers me too.

Oh no, haven't noticed a new jingle how long has it been playing?

I do listen to Radio 2 occasionally, but haven't noticed a new jingle.

Its the "Be-be-ceeeee, raaaaay-dio two" one, it use to go down in the "radio" part, but now it goes up, sounds wrong. I reckon it's been a week, I was hoping it was changed temporarily and would go back but it didn't.

Jingle? pah! Lightweight;)

I still wish they'd kept Jimmy Young - Jeremy Vine sends me mental...

I don't like it either, it really doesn't sound right. Bring back the old one!

I've noticed that too, it's terrible. They've changed all jingles so that the tune now sounds like it's being played backwards. Still this is the BBC we're talking about how dare we question them?

Also how long do you think it will be before Caroline Cerrado Perez gets her own BBC TV show? The entire news segment on BBC radio seems to be devoted to her.

I was anti at the beginning but it's grown on me in a hurry. You know they say that the best music is hard to like at the start.....pah!

For me the jingle is just not-bad enough that I can happily tune out my hearing apparatus when it kicks in. The day they go so wrong I can't do that is the day I get the minidisc player back out of the basement

Never mind the jingle, what happened to Graham Norton on a Saturday morning. I listened to Sounds of the Sixties 8 till 10, and then that goddam awful ginger whinger came on with a load of screamin kids. Ruined my day. :mad:

Graham's on his holidays. He's back in September. This happened last year and we got Ryan Tubridy for a few weeks.

graham norton is perhaps the best value for laughs in the uk. On his show i remember some guest saying that there was a bunch of men in the UK, who had got a glass of wine and sat their wives down to watch graham norton - and that all those men were gay! quite outlandish, in fact I'd done that exact thiing as he said it, but here was me a bit of a ladies man in my time falling for a metrosexual show!
