Chris Evans Breakfast Show

Steve in Japan · Aug 29, 2014

I find this show gets on my wick more and more. I could listen to spotify but I do like a bit of human interaction between songs. Just not Chris Evan"s brand of tosh. And the music - today we've had supercalifragelistic, Dr Doolittle and even Istandbul/Constaninople - oh and the theme from Happy Days.

What do other people listen to?

Talk sport Alan Brazil show, or 5 Live for my 6:30 commute to work.

Occasionally R1 or 2 on way home...

I like the show and I like Chris Evans. His positivity and intelligence shine through. Compared to the pathetic whitterings on the Radio 1 show he is a breath of fresh air. As for the Happy Days theme - great tune to lift the spirits. Have you thought of re-tuning to Radio 3 ? Or maybe the dire Heart with the fake bland cockney from Shoreham Beach ?

In the morning I listen to anything other than Chris Evans.

5 Live Breakfast is pretty decent.

6 Music for me, plays great music old and new and whilst there is less emphasis on the presenters, you get a feeling of being slightly less patronised.

Another vote for Chris Evans. This morning's show also included a brief theological debate between him and Simon Callow. Music choice unsurpassed - recently awoken at 06:30 by him playing "Doctor, Doctor" by U.F.O.

Don't get me started about Heart - "more music variety - NOT". The 5' per day that I usually have to endure on school runs is around 4' 59" too much, fortunately Younger Pottings will be walking from September unless it is horizontal rain or white out.

Glad it's not just me.

I find he can't go more than a minute without mentioning cars, which does my nut in as well.

Does he mention he owns a Ferrari, or several?

Try listening to Nick bloody Grimshaw then. Awful shite. I'll take interesting, stimulating and humorous interviews every time.

It's better than having to listen to Steve Wright singing over the top of every record he plays.

Munchkin · Aug 29, 2014

Love Chris Evans, maybe in the minority but enjoy his show.

Thunder Bolt · Aug 29, 2014

I like Chris Evans. He's bright & cheerful, which I know doesn't suit a lot of people in the mornings. He also caters for kids in his show which isn't a bad thing imo.

Hove Seagull · Aug 29, 2014

I (accidentally) tuned to Radio Reverb in the car on the way home the other day. My word, what a load of rubbish that is.

Why would you keep listening to a radio programme when you don't like the DJ and don't like the selection of music?

No you are not in the minority mate; I think Chris Evans makes excellent listening. Christ, there are enough radio stations to choose from!

Talking of which, I listened to his holiday cover this week - much better

I grudgingly listened to Radio 2 for a long time but there came a point where I could stomach the presenters no more. Evans is talented and has a certain charm, but I just can't be doing with his personality every weekday morning. Steve Wright's show has barely changed in 35 years, which I find quite depressing. And I only have to hear a single syllable from Mayo and I'm ready to shut off the electricity to the entire house.

Radio 6 is a much better companion, I find, despite a few dud presenters and some strangely predictable music.
