If you name-check Gid's board we shall expect you to read that we are loving the show.
Will there be Trouser News? (Come to that, is there ever Trouser News nowadays?)

Wooo indeed for Mr Collings, just investigating the Diogenes Club after last night's play. Remit fulfilled there, I think!
Cyril had me going there. "Keaveny" is hard enough to spell as it is!
Andrew is "Mr. *Collins* " to us...
"Andrew Collins begins a week's stand in for Gideon with classic concert tracks from The Orb and Emmylou Harris."
Help! I've been abducted by aliens and dropped off in a parallel universe where the Brits matters to people who are allowed to stay up past 9.30 PM.
I was going to take my DAB to work tomorrow to check daytime 6music, but I've now decided against it as it's bound to be a total Britstorm.
Instead, I'm taking in my copy of Raw Power and I'm going to play it all geoffing day.

I'm mildly disappointed there isn't more praise of Mr Collings' show on here yet.

Fine show on Monday, but for me last night's show was spoiled by being hijacked by the pukemaking Brits coverage. I'm not blaming Mr Collings for that, though. Mostly, I've enjoyed it just as I enjoyed Gary Crowley who sat in for Gid some while ago. To sum up: it's really pleasing that 6 can find excellent presenters to keep seats warm for the regulars, but I don't think you can beat Marc followed by Gid if you're having a night in.

Blimey! Don't praise him too much or he'll be printing all this positivity out and hanging it on his wall. He mentioned the Mitford sisters yet?
Praise where praise is due! Even if he does use the photocopier for illicit wallpapering purposes.

I've enjoyed Andrew this week and used to listen to him when he was on in the late afternoon slot
Saying that,you cant beat Gideon
Seconded.AC was a fine caretaker. Looking forward to the return of GC. At the beginning of the week I thought I'd heard AC refer to GC as a "carbuncular carton of beer". I'd probably been partially deafened by my new studio monitors.

I thought he said 'avuncular teddy bear'.
Perhaps it was "an uncle of Dani Behr" (not sure about spelling of Dani Behr, can't be bothered to look it up.

surely it was a "grezunkular* Martin Fry-er" meaning Gid is so cool the poison arrow band would be XYZ if Gid were the lead singer!
*Grezunkle - the word the top hat bloke on "Tomfoolery" mustn't say if he didn't want to be struck (comically) by lightning. Guess what he said?

Perhaps we'll never know. It could have been "an uncle of Carlos Vela" but I would hope that Gid would disinherit any nephew of his who'd stoop to playing for ****nal.
