Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jugalug]

He's doing really well, and a lot better than Kelly IMHO.

[Monitorabbit]

Its lovely to hear someone with proper presenting skills hosting the Surgery again.

[Timsk]

I'll second that. Rather than listening for the car crash norm, it's good to hear proper presentation and real empathy for once. Maybe the Beeb need to rethink, as it works as a proper 'help' show like this. Well done Aled.

[goldengirl]

Bless the wee 11 year old boy who text in for advice on asking a girl out! awwww. They kinda skipped over the question tho didn't they? Awwww

[Guest CancerForTheCure]

You can tell that Aled is really well prepared. I have no idea why he was so worried, he's really good

[goldengirl]

I agree, he is doing a great job

[Jugalug]

I would be worried too if I'd had comments like the ones he's had. No matter how many. Especially so publicly on the CM show.

Still, he's proving them wrong, and doing a great job.

[KingTutsWWH]

I'm seriously impressed with Aled. Just the right mixture of listening to the caller, decent, well thought through, useful advice and personal insights.

Keep up the good work sweetie.

Is he only on for this week?

[Monitorabbit]

Nice touch getting members of the Chris Moyles Show team to read out the Accident and Emergency questions.

[goldengirl]

So we don't forget where Aled comes from

So we don't forget where Aled comes from

Wales?

[goldengirl]

Wales?

Within the Beeb :heh:

[YoppaDo]

Good job Aled! What I've heard has been really good, and he seems like he's settled into it nicely.

It would be nice if he could take over full time, but with the Moyles show on just a few hours later and Kelly probably trying to gain favour with producers again after this week, it seems unlikely.

[goldengirl]

Married for 5 years or 5 minutes? Seriously how old does she sound????

[Monitorabbit]

Aled had such a lovely kind sound in his voice when he spoke to this last rather hesitant caller at the beginning of her call.

Yes, she does have a young sounding voice - sounds like a child really.

[YoppaDo]

Married for 5 years or 5 minutes? Seriously how old does she sound????

I thought the exact same thing, was about to type it, when she first came on, she sounded like one of those 12-year olds that call in for advice on asking people out. Then she started talking about her husband...

[Monitorabbit]

The show seems to have gone by ever so quickly tonight.

[goldengirl]

Must sleep now but was v impressed with Aled

[James R]

Its refreshing to listen to the surgery without long pauses and random interruptions

[Monitorabbit]

Aled slightly overran into Rob da Bank but the will i am chill out mix was just so lovely and relaxing I'm sure no-one minded.

[Jono]

Will be listening again to this and it takes top priority. Quite gutted I had to go out and missed it.

[Kelly]

I missed the first half hour but he did an amazing job from what I heard. His reaction to the question from the 13 year old who had just realised that he might be gay was fantastic - really heartfelt and just what the show needs. Long live Lord Aled!

[popbitcher]

move over kelly osbourne. aled you were great and a true professional. i hope he gets to present more shows, truly innovating and the real "rising star" around here. i hope he reads these messages

[cuddlytoy]

I haven't listened since kelly tookover but this show brings back the surgery to how it was with emma b. well done aled!

[tamba]

Aled did a fantastic job. He actualy listened to the callers ( unlike Kelly ) he gave really good caring advice.

More from Aled please
