Wouldn't fit through the door. Had to have his own studio made specially for him.

Re: Iain Lee
Iain has been alluding to his Rajar figures being crap. Maybe if he didn't start every night with that slurring idiot on the phone a few more people might stick around...

Re: Iain Lee
Haha... No, it's some bloke called Caddick, a shouty slurry Brummie who rarely seems to contribute much but rings up in the first hour every evening without fail. If I was new to Iain I think it'd be enough to put me off.

Iain Lee's show is generally good but his broadcasting style is a bit offputting occasionally. Periods of dead air or whispering.

Sure this Caddick bloke ain't Russ in Lichfield? He's one boring bloke.

Nope - this is Caddick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk1mzFOQRvs Russ in Lichfield doesn't call in anymore, as he decided Iain was ignoring him on Twitter or something.

Re: Iain Lee
I do not. He is an absolute cunt, a stance since first seeing him on the 'The 11 O'Clock Show' and never changed. Hearing on the repeated overnight MK and Parry he had a car crash on the way in to his show:

Also, he admits himself 'The 11 O'Clock Show' was terrible and there is stuff he regrets doing. Can you not forgive him for his wise and careful curation of The Monkees catalogue?
I'm no fan of his radio shows, but saw his recent interview with Richard Herring and found him to be quite an interesting and engaging character.

Re: Iain Lee
Oh, enough with the fucking Monkees... I like Iain's show, but every time he starts banging on about the Monkees or the Beach Boys or announces yet another guest who was involved with the 60s music scene I want to give him a slap.Lou Grant wrote:Also, he admits himself 'The 11 O'Clock Show' was terrible and there is stuff he regrets doing.

Re: Iain Lee
I see what you mean re: the Monkess etc as it can get a bit nerdish. But, I must admit I like the interviews with people in the music industry. Especially if they were not a name, but were involved with name singers or bands. Radio needs people to do shows like his though. There are enough "issue" phone-in shows, so it's good to have lighter stuff like Danny Baker or Iain.jumpers wrote:Oh, enough with the fucking Monkees...

With regard to his personality, he does suffer from depression and he is quite open about it. I respect that and while he can be a dick at times, I think his show is worth listening to. It certainly beats the Colonel's serious show on LBC and Stain and Cundy on Talksport.

Re: Iain Lee
I don't have any problem with the lighter stuff - it's why I like the show! It's just that the sixties music chat and guests are so frequent, I wish they'd mix it up a bit.

Re: Iain Lee
I think he is a bit hamstrung by the lack of callers. This means he tends to rely on stuff he can talk about at length. He has also said the show will not be people talking about old tv programmes. Look at this way, it could be 3 hours of him talking about computer games.

I've listened a lot recently and he has a wide range of content.dingdongthewitchisdead wrote:anytime i've ever tuned in he seems to have retarded callers ?
He tends to get the fruitloops when he does direct to air calls which is in specified slots.
Also, he has some terrific interviews with all sorts of people, usually US based, about various topics.
I like his producer who sounds bright, fun and interesting.

Re: Iain Lee
I think in most cases 'retarded' is a bit unfair. But yes, there are several of his most regular callers who appear to have actual mental difficulties.

I suppose we are getting into the domain of the phrase 'define your terms' with all this stuff.
One area he does like to mine is the Flat Earth Theory and those who believe it (he doesn't).

Re: Iain Lee
HMMM quite a call from Andy last night to Iain Lee.
I have to say I thought some of what the caller said was true, I admit I wouldn't have dared say it to Iain myself on-air and that's why I thought it was a good call.
