It's quite sickening really
The only good things ever said about the tosser’s show is when he’s not in it, and Mark Radcliff, or Lisa Tarbuck or even Daffy Duck and Crusty the Clown
Thanks,

Do you hate Steve Wright (on BBC Radio 2)? Are you completely fed up with the sycophantic, moronic rubbish that he spouts? Do you think Steve Wright has had his day? Well I do! Every day at the office we see how much of his program we can stomach before we can stand it no longer and switch to another station. So, this blog is about all the gut clenching, stomach churning, sick making purile drivel Steve Wright comes out with, and why we hate it so!

So this is it, this is the what humour has come to on the Steve Wright Show is it?
It’s not enough that we must suffer his truly awful sycophantic interviews, like today when he interviewed Josh Groban and asked the question:
"Now I know you’ll hate this question, but you've sold over 25 million albums world wide – how does that make you feel?"
Or possibly this attrocious "let me make myself seam very important" statement when again today he said to Josh:
"You first came to my attention in 19??"
Like it’s supposed to matter to Josh Groban when Steve Wright 'noticed' him, it was lovely though when Groban replies "I can't have done I was still in high school then"
What an imbecile Wright is on a cosmic scale, anyway I digress...
So, old Wrighty’s humour, honed to a fine point after years of cutting edge broadcasting, using all the experience he has gained pushing the boundaries of radio to their limits, he has started a new segment on his radio that is gripping the nation in mirth and joining everyone together across the country.
So, what is this new phenomenon?
At 16:45 every day, apparently we’re all supposed to brush our hair – yup, that’s it. Even for those poor souls with little else in their life who join in it can't exactly be a major moment for them, but other than those 5 people WHO THE HELL WOULD EVER THINK THAT FUNNY OR PARTICIPATE?
Sweet mother of Mary, I am struck dumb with awe at his stunning ability to be more crap than he was before.
Bravo Steve Wright, you’re still pushing those boundaries aren’t you? Sadly they are the boundaries of poor quality, low effort broadcasting.

For crying out loud, what the hell are they doing at Radio 2 – how on earth can they even consider replacing Ken Bruce while keeping the biggest tosser on the airwaves on any station in any country?
I quite like Simon Mayo but how the bloody hell does Steve – dickhead-for-life – Wright survive a reshuffle and Ken Bruce gets the chop – it’s just complete madness.

For those who use DAB Digital radio you’ll know that road stations can send short informative messages about the show to your radio.
Y’know useful stuff like who’s the artist currently being played and the track title, perhaps a web address or phone number and usually the name of the DJ (and for those who don't have DAB Digital radio you now know this).
Certainly on Radio 2 they use this. Normally it’s something like “Wake up with Wogan – now playing [track] by [artist]...” or “The Ken Bruce Show – now playing [track] by [artist]...” and this just repeats on a regular basis.
So what do we think the egotistical toss pot Steve Wright would have for his self-inflated show? Just the same perhaps, after all the BBC do need to be consistent don’t they? Well, no that would be too easy and a missed opportunity for the pillock to tell you how great he is. Here are the self-promoting messages you get on his show:
1.) Steve Wright in the Afternoon – Big guests, top music and topical humour
2.) Steve Wright in the Afternoon – The big show!
3.) Steve and the team bring you the best in pop, classics and oldies
4.) In a jam? Call Sally’s travel hotline on: 03700 100 200
5.) Steve Wright in the Afternoon – Website of the week, horoscopes, factoids and banter
6.) Subscribe to Steve’s podcast at radio2.co.uk now
7.) Steve Wright: email steve.wright@bbc.co.uk
8.) You can text the show on: 88291 (network charges may apply)
This last item – number 8 – is frequently repeated between each of the other items
Now, not only is all this pathetic self-promotion and “bigging up” but it’s a complete pack of lies – Since when did they ever have Topical Humour on the show – or any humour for that matter. When, since the 1980’s, did Steve Wright EVER EVER EVER play “the best in pop, classics and oldies” EVER? And As for the “factoids and banter” well I think we all know where they can put that message!

So we’re listening to a track on the “Big Show” which has the chorus:
“My name’s Steve and blah–di-blah-di-blah”
So as it came to an end you just knew he wouldn’t be able to leave it, he would have to make some comment, wouldn’t he?
And he didn't disappoint
“You just know that our jingles department will make that into a jingle about me”
He says.
“NO STEVE, WE DON’T”, you’re the only pillock in this world that thinks of nothing else but you! I expect the jingles department would rather stick pins in their eyes, and it just may be that the artist wouldn’t want you to use his song as jingle just to stroke your own ego.
ARGGGHHHHH! How self-important can you get – jeez!
WA
A request has been posted saying I should set up a forum for all of us who can’t take Steve Wright any longer ..
If you like this idea and want a forum drop me an email and if I get enough requests I’ll set one up and email you all to let you know. Who knows – maybe it’ll get featured on his own crappy show by that toss-pot Miles and his website of the week :-)
Cheers,
WA
Okay
I haven’t posted anything for a while – I’ve been a bit busy – but I can’t let this go by...
So Tosser Wright is interviewing Joe Pasquali and they’re having some okay banter (ok from Jo, just pants from SW) anyway after one particular exchange they had, Steve Wright felt compelled to say in all honesty ... you ready for this? .... you won’t believe it...
He says ...
“We don't rehearse this stuff - it’s all off the cuff”
For crying out loud! A) it wasn't that funny B) what an antiquated banal thing to say and C) OF COURSE YOU DIDN’T REHEARSE IT – Garbage like your show could never be rehearsed.
I do hate him so much :-(
WA
We have a very poor reception here, which is one of the reasons I have to listen to the prat’s show in the afternoon – we can’t get any other but for today we haven’t been able to get ANY radio signal until 2pm so now we can ONLY get his banal little show
ARGGHHHHHH
WA
Is it not bad enough that we have to sit through hours of self-serving verbal diarrhoea that is the “Big Show” without it including some totally shameless and pathetic promotion of his own podcast.
Okay, for one thing anyone who would want to download a Steve Wright podcast must need some form of help as they must be part of the Care in the Community programme.
But, and this is the big but, given how truly PANTS his sycophantic interviewing technique is, why on god’s earth would you want to download a podcast of his interviews – OMG!
*BARF*
WA
I heard the extended “big Show” theme tune, and got all excited – yippee – it’s five o’clock, bring on Chris!
But no, just the pratt Wright filling time to mask his inability to say anything new, while we wait for the four o’clock news.
60 whole minutes to wait – it’s just hell!!!
WA
So, it wasn’t funny having the “skip” to throw things in.
Why would it be any funnier to get things back out again? Dunno why anyone would think that was a good idea. Probably the same person who wants to keep Steve Wright on the air.
When we find the person responsible we should confine him/her to a monastery or convent to ensure there is no possibility of their genes from making it out into the general gene-pool. Let’s face it with judgement like that, we don't need any their offspring degrading the human race.
WA
You know the one – he’s playing every day
“Want to marry a lighthouse keeper”
GOT IT OFF
Argghhhhh
WA
I like Lulu, she’s great and full of energy but FOR CRYING OUT LOUD the terrible way he’s interviewing her is just cringe-worthy.
Even Lulu started to say “what are you after”, he just couldn’t squeeze any more compliments into one sentence it’s pathetic, just PATHETIC.
Not only should Steve Wright be taken off the air but all memory of him and his pants show should be eradicated from my mind!
WA
Change your jingles Steve, don't keep reusing the same old tired rubbish you have at the moment, but if nothing else drop the stupid woman singing
“Steve Wright in the Afternooooooon” when she get’s higher and higher until screaming into oblivion.
Put that in the skip, then throw you’re own show in after it!
WA
... I’m going to repeat myself and raise some stuff I’ve already mentioned, or others have left comments about.
Okay, so our base line is this: we all know that he [Steve Wright] is a talentless twerp who sticks to a 1980’s style of DJ-ing, is constantly relying on alleged listener’s letters that always big him up, and when forced to actually say something of any relevance he dries up and the Veggie or tim-nice-but-dim cut in with some sycophantic rubbish.
BUT..
His incessant need to re-read the news because he doesn’t have anything interesting to say is now getting to ridiculous proportions. In fact here’s a thought – why not give the whole show over to the actual newsreader and let them just fill in the gaps with their own chat, it can’t be any worse and will more likely be more insightful, humorous and interesting that the pillock we have to listen to today.
And they could hardly choose worse music than the crap he plays all day.
