Anyone mind if I drift the thread a little to include radio? The voice of Colin Murray on 5Live grates on me. I enjoy the 7pm weeknight sports programmes, and his patter is OK. But his thickish Irish accent gets on my nerves. Reply to this message | Report message

We used to call Nicholas Witchell 'the poisoned carrot'. I think almost all young women's voices on radio and TV these days are appalling. A bit like the dreadful 'entertainment leader' we had on a Thomson cruise about a decade ago. One of the few exceptions to this sweeping generalisation is Radio 4's Caroline Wyatt - whom I find soothing in the extreme, maybe because I once had a close friend with a voice very much like hers...

Off topic slightly, but of garden presenters I'm not keen on Titchmarsh. Not so much his voice as his style of gardening. And his perfect potting shed that I could live in with room to spare. Yeah, we've all got one of those around the back. Much prefer Monty Don. I read that he did suffer from depression and mood swings that his wife says made him unbearable, but in a way that made me like him more - beware the dark side of the Don :), whereas Titchmarsh always seems to be a bit of a lightweight.

My ex-wife's sister. (Boy she was fit but that's another story.) Anyway, she was brought up in Edinburgh but went to Brighton Uni and subsequently went to work in London in the media world. When she was 17 she had a noticeably Scottish accent. Not rough but noticeable. Think Kirsty Wark / Andrew Marr / Euan McGregor for some examples. Perfectly adequate for clear communication and what's more her natural speaking voice. By the time she was 22 she spoke like a female Jon Bentley. Why do people do that?

Another vote for (or rather against) Robert Peston - yuk. It's the talking down to you as much as the tone which annoys. I'm surprised that Fenella Fudge changed her name, presumably on marriage: she was Fenella Hadingham before which suited her very pleasant up-market voice well. Again on a positive note, Susan Rae (Radio 4 newsreader) is very pleasant to listen to. I'd guess she's from the Edinburgh, Fife or Dundee regions. Reply to this message | Report message

Neil Nuñez, I think he is. His voice is certainly distinctive, but I'm still not sure it's 'right' for R4. Susan Rae has a lovely, clear voice but attracted some bizarrely appalling reactions when she first appeared in the 1980s. One I remember - and I'm only slightly paraphrasing - went "I am English. I do not expect to have to listen to a Scottish accent on the BBC." R4 listeners' love for Charlotte Green only increases when she gets the giggles. The News Quiz saves up the rude cuttings for her appearances in the hope of setting her off. Reply to this message | Report message

BBC1 news at ten woman who interviewed the D of E. She looks fine and there's nothing wrong with her voice. It's the jaunty collusiveness of her style and delivery.

>>Add most of Radio Devon's daytime presenters. << Do they still have that twerp who used to present a record request show on Sunday mornings? He had the most manufactured Deb'n accent I've ever heard. My westcountry persona is 100 per cent real of course. I may have mentioned on here before that I once (mistakenly) fancied a career in BBC regional broadcasting but I was quietly advised that my Somerset accent would not be acceptable. How times change. Anyway, now I come to think of it, it isn't just Caroline Wyatt who pleases me. I had a girlfriend decades ago who had an even lower voice than hers, so that may have something to do with it. Last I heard she had six children (my ex-girlfriend, not Caroline) so I was right at the time in believing she had no gender issues. I had forgotten about the pleasure of hearing CG. Three years ago I went to Sussex to test drive a Honda NSX targa that the dealer described as 'charlotte green'! Peter Donaldson (an old hand like Brian Perkins) still pops up on the Newsquiz sometimes, I'm pleased to say. And Kathy Clugston's accent is actually a help when I'm listening to the 5.30am headlines with an earpiece in the ipod. Reply to this message | Report message

I agree with the voiced dislike of most of Radio 2's DJ's these days, and definitely Peston (SOO DULL!), but save my petulence for the sub-human life form that does the meant-to-be-amusing-patronising-I'm-so-clever put downs on come dine with me. In fact I nominate the whole programme as being a hatefule egofest thinly disguised as having something to do with cooking. I avoid it, but unfortunately the wife likes it, so it's on quite alot. I usually run from the room, but sometimes have to remain for the morbid fascination of it all. I really like Neil Nunez from R4 though (glad I know his name now), very soothing, almost like a massage for the ears. And Charlotte Green is just wonderful, a voice like melted chocolate.

On the contrary, I like my presenters to be prepared to utter all 26 letters of the alphabet including h and r, and to differentiate between the possible pronuciations of vowels. I want to hear the difference between "witch" and "which", "hut" and "hoot", "bat" and "bath". It's not hard. In most cases it is after all their native language. :-0 Reply to this message | Report message
