gregjames94 10 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 As mentioned on Sara's show this morning, shame as it will mark Sara's exit from Radio 1 :cry: Quote hello Link to post Share on other sites
eigh 10 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Nah, she was good maybe 10 years ago, now it's just a middle-aged woman constantly talking about her kids and putting wierd noises in the middle of the sentence. I like her as a person, she's really sweet, but she's Radio 2 material now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
capes 14 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Has it been announced that she is going? Quote Capes Link to post Share on other sites
niena 11 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Nah, she was good maybe 10 years ago, now it's just a middle-aged woman constantly talking about her kids and putting wierd noises in the middle of the sentence. I like her as a person, she's really sweet, but she's Radio 2 material now.I don't think most people who have kids realize that little tales about their kids are only of interest to them. It's such a boring topic for an outsider. I don't really mind the content of her links as much as the cadence of her voice. I need to actually concentrate to understand what she's saying. It's very singsong in quality and it often takes too much effort to follow. She's the only present Radio 1 dj I have this problem with.That said, I like that she's a genuinely warm person. She's one of the few djs who listens to Radio 1 in their free time (I think Zane Lowe is the only other one I know of) and she remembers things other djs mentioned, which makes takeovers and things like Real or No Real more interesting. It's very sweet. Fearne is proper cold in compression (which is ok as well). The thing is, Fearne as a new Mum, will now probably spend more time talking about her child, than Sara ever did.

steve24 10 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Radio 2 are about to announce some changes to their weekend line up ,with 2 of their longest serving presenters leaving,so there's a gap there that Sara could fill. Hopefully ,if she is offered a permanent show on radio 2 there will be an announcement before august 30 so that Sara can have a proper send off.She deserves that after 14 years at the station.It would be a shame if she went without saying goodbye Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrysmyth 14 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Dont forget that Fearne will harp on just as much about baby Rex now! Personally I find Sara's chat much more intesting then Fearne, as Sara is naturally witty. Fearne just talked about baking the whole time, and now it will be babies and baking. I'm already dreading it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hammer 10 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 That whole 10-12-45 slot has been a complete void for me since Jo Whiley left anyway. At least Jo knew her music. It's cringeworthy at times hearing Fearne/Sara pretending they give a toss about whoever is performing in the Live Lounge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He just said t his is the last chance for her to do innuendo bingo,so unless he's planning to scrap the feature which I doubt, looks like august 30 is the end of Sara on radio 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Looking forward to the return of Fearne will make me feel young again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viv 14 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Looking forward to the return of Fearne will make me feel young againGod, I should try that one too. R2, whilst often very good, makes me feel ancient. So many of their listeners garden, and I don't garden - I just like to sit in other people's gardens. I don't know if this counts, mind you.

thebaileysface 10 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Really hope Sara gets a show on Radio2 as she is an interesting listen, like today she just talked about her trip to the park and 'tickling trouts'! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thebaileysface 10 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Oh, what's all this about schedule changes there? Sara could fit in we'll in the daytime, instead of somebody like Jeremy Vine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

steve24 10 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 There was the possibility that she might have had a show on weekends on radio 2.There was a 2 hour gap on sunday nights because David Jacobs and Russel Davies shows are ending but I doubt she'll fill it .We'd probably have heard something by today if she was getting a show on radio 2.I'm afraid it looks like she's surplus to requirements for now Officially she hasn't left Radio 1 but the way all the DJs have made a fuss about her the last couple of days it kinda feels to me like she won't be heard very much of in the future.A week in november then a xmas special and that'll be it probably. If Ben Cooper had really wanted her to stay he could have easily have found a weekend slot for her. I wouldn't be surprised if the original plan was for her to go last christmas at the same time as Vernon Kay,but Fearne getting pregnant gave her a reprieve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
