Steve Wright, Steve Wright in the afternoon.

With an inner groan, I heard the news on the radio this morning. Steve Wright is returning to the afternoon show on Radio 2 tomorrow.

He has been off for the last few weeks; Dale Winton and latterly Chris Tarrant have presented (jockeyed?) instead. Both of them were far more entertaining than Wrighty (Love the show, Steve!). Truth be told, they were a lot less irritating.

Don't get me wrong, "Love-the-show-Steve" seems a nice enough guy, and I used to enjoy his show in his Radio 1 days. His characters Gervais the hairdresser and Sid the manager were fresh and funny. That was 25 years ago, though.

For me, disillusionment set in with his dreary co-presenter, Janey-Lee Grace. This holier-than-Thou vegetarian, green eco-mother is insufferable. Her arrogant assertion that her way of life, with its locally grown veggie boxes, and environmentally friendly this and that, is so boring that it quickly became irritating, then annoying. She doesn't have the personality needed to maintain interest on a radio show.

Gradually, the alienation I felt towards this awful woman started to transfer to the whole show, and everything about it. The unoriginal factoids, the tired, oft repeated 'oldies', horoscopes, celeb interviews, the whole show is worn-out.

Sorry to the affable Wrighty and his sidekick Tim Smiff, but the show needs to be replaced. This becomes obvious every time they are off, when the replacement show is always better.

If the controller of Radio 2 should read this - please act now!
