Owain Wyn Evans was back in the Early Breakfast chair on BBC Radio 2, keeping listeners company through the small hours with his usual mix of music and chat.
The main topic of conversation was news of proposed new vocational GCSEs, with Owain inviting listeners to get in touch with the subjects they wished they'd been able to study for exams themselves. The feature tied in with the show's regular Airdrum Anthems segment, giving listeners the chance to enjoy some air-drumming to a suitably upbeat track.
Owain also gave listeners a glimpse of his morning outside the studio, noting the heavy rain as he prepared to cycle in later. "Absolutely chucking it down… good practice for the November weather," he joked, taking the wet conditions in his stride.
Music on the show included a play of Martha and the Vandellas' Jimmy Mack, keeping the retro soul vibes going as the show wound towards its close.
Signing off, Owain thanked listeners for their company as always, promising to be back in the same slot the following morning. He also flagged what was coming up next on Radio 2, with Gary Davies stepping in to present Breakfast in place of Sara Cox, joined by Andy Bell as a guest on the show.
It was a low-key but characteristically warm outing for Owain, blending topical talk about the education system with his trademark humour and easy rapport with the Early Breakfast audience.
