Colin & Edith

Recommended Posts

just doing the clips and i am wondering why it is "so sad" that colin & edith are splitting. i mean the way they went on about them when they replaced mark & lard was unreal, "the future of radio 1. they will be around for years to come" etc. how no-one is mentioning those comments from two years ago now. i never heard it but apparently in 2004 colin said "how much better they are than the show before them". if that is the case and he did say that then those comments have backfired on him. and as everyone knew anyway, their show hasn't compared to mark & lards, or stood as long.

edith might not be so bad on her own, i find her more bareable. i dont dislike them as people becuase i dont know them. but i can assure you their radio show no matter how many times i have listened hasn't made me laugh or even chuckle at all.

with all these changes hopefully radio 1 can try and draft in some new talent if what people say about jo whiley is true and that she might be moving. i could see edith taking the mid morning show and then hopefully radio 1 can make a good attempt at filing the void and bringing back that unique style of comedy that has been empty for two years.

on the grid.

yes i know very well they are not leaving, i am not blind. moving up is the wrong term. for what they are capable of doing they got the best slot they could of hoped for. however it just goes to show for all they ranted on about them as a pair 2 years ago it didn't work and it was all wrong. moyles keeps on to them for not being together. it is rare these days for them to be on together.

people say to me you dont like them becuase they replaced your faveorite ever radio 1 daytime dj's. thats called jumping to a conclusion. it didn't help me like them when they took that slot, but i never liked their show when they were on weekends.

in a lot of ways i find it madness that jk & joel are locked up in the dark, becuase when they filled in for them last year they were a breath of fresh air. far from mnl, but i wanted to listen. they sounded like they would fit in there well. but they came to the station after mnl left so really they never got the chance to get there.

It's rumoured they never planned for Colin to stay at afternoons, and he was always lined up for the evening slot. Moving him to the afternoons was just a cover up to make him look less like the new John Peel.

I quite welcome the move, but I've personally enjoyed their shows.

As for JK and Joel, who knows, they may well be the next double act at 1pm

i have always said i prefer jk & joel there. colin probably has a great taste in music and will probably do well on a specialist evening show. best of luck etc...

the two highlights of colin & edith for myself was the day john peel died they handled that well (then so did everyone else). and 7/7 when colin read out loads of emails what people were thinking of the attacks and so on...

The difference between colin & Edith and JK & Joel is that C&E were put together by Radio 1 for the show where as Jk&Joel have been together as a partnership for 10 years. A lot of marriages don't even last that long :roll:

I like Colin & Edith and I think they worked together well for a time but they both have different backgrounds and obviously have different asperations for their future.
