bassace Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Never thought I’d be typing those words but has anyone heard her six o clock Saturday programme on R2? The playlist is quite unusual, taking in some rarely heard old rock and soul numbers alongside some quite weird stuff. Definitely worth a listen if you haven’t heard it before. Any fans here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JottoSW1 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 She's quite wry and funny too, the antithesis of her Dad. You just have to get over the realisation that you're old enuff for R2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) Yes, it’s a good show. The trouble is it clashes with the Craig Charles Funk and Soul show on R6Music which, for me, is the wireless highlight of the week.

JottoSW1 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Much as I like his selections, it's still - well - Craig Charles. To be fair he's evidently into the music and doesn't chat over much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 She’s a fave in this household , she was a blast on Taskmaster as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storky Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Oh well, there you go; when I turn on the radio and it’s Liza, I turn it over! Can’t stand her “delivery”. Horses for courses! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A favourite moment came when he was standing in on the breakfast show on 6 "That was The War on Drugs there. I was down at Glastonbury Festival last weekend - I think they lost that particular battle!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Liza is definitely a fave in our household. At times the mix is electic but that's what adds to her appeal plus she has a sense of humour that has clearly been inherited from her dad.

Lozz196 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I used to like listening to both Liza Tarbuck and Craig Charles on the long journeys home from gigs, when every now & then they’d be covering for others. I also liked Ana Matronic and Huey Morgan’s shows. Something quite relaxing and reassuring about Radio 2 after a long nights full on punk/Oi action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I do like listening to her but really only have R2 on in the car as i still have an old radio. With the lockdown, i haven't had the car for a while. Definately one of the better shows on R2. Depending on the year, i like the Pick of the Pops show.I am usually on Planet Rock at home, but will have to listen to Craig Charles. I like some soul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Lisa Tarbuck is a hoot. She can have the top off my egg any day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I almost never listen to the radio. I have my music all on my Mac (25,124 songs) and I listen to it on random pretty much every day and all night on a Friday. I get all the satisfaction from that.

Andy_L Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 As part of a middle aged couple with a food obsession, a dog and no children it's almost as though her show was designed explicitly for me.

I think it’s like a lot things , the guy has a great enthusiasm and it rubs off , Ms Tarbuck much the same , always having a chuckle with you ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykilz Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I like to listen to Liza Tarbuks show when cooking the Saturday dinner for my tribe, she plays some very eclectic stuff (for radio 2), a few weeks back that included Janes Addiction ' Been caught stealing'. Shocked and happy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
