Some tremendous racism in the Daily Mail comments along the lines of "How dare this white man act like a black?"

i saw tim walking up a street near where i was working a couple of weeks ago, with his tiny producer walking along side him. he seemed awesome, and he was carrying a table. it was massive.
i said, it was MASSIVE.

who's that german or half-german (iirc) r&b guy that's like a 3rd rate taio cruz/derulo clone, so anonymous i can't recall his name
anyway westwood had this poor unsuspecting bugger on the show a few months ago, half-assing it, asks him the regulation so who would you like to work with question
he replies "oh, usher, beyonce... i think it'd be great to do a song with [twinkle in the eye for the uk market] ed sheeran"
tim, suddenly: "that would be HORRIBLE! ohhh man! i would NEVER play that!"

1Xtra is basically even more po-faced and anodyne than Radio 1 is the thing yeah? no personality or funniness allowed on air during the day.
― Cyders from Mars (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 26 May 2012 09:25 (eleven years ago) link
wellll... i mean, there's only one tim. the likes of ace & vis (also dumped, happily) and twin b cast themselves as the troublemakers of radio or whatever, they are cheerfully harmless/annoying moreso than anodyne
daytime wasnt too bad, sarah jane crawford is a fun gal, trev nelson i won't hear a bad word about unless it relates to chelsea obv
as a station they've generally been on a really great roll in recent years and have rarely put a foot wrong it has to be said. complete transformation from the 2008 doldrums
― r|t|c, Saturday, 26 May 2012 09:40 (eleven years ago) link
didn't realise Trevor Nelson was on daytime, no argument. when i do have it on for the music i find myself getting driven off by the DJs is the thing.
― Cyders from Mars (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 26 May 2012 09:43 (eleven years ago) link
the aforementioned ace & vis were seemingly inescapable tbf, it was probably them you heard. or maybe gemma cairney with the vaguely slapped-arse demeanour
some of the weekend lot like nick bright and adele roberts idk much about, p sure "nick bright" is only going to be a faceless gimp tho
just going back to tim, must say he deserves credit (which he'll never get) for being pro-afrobeats way ahead of the current wave, he's the one that got me into it

how times have changed. The BBC and its attitudes to age (amongst other things) are a national disgrace
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Friday, 26 July 2013 16:09 (ten years ago) link
is there any reason to assume that age is a factor in his show being cut, other than it being sort of in the news at the moment?

the irony
The 55-year-old presenter joined Radio 1 in 1994, hired by the then controller Matthew Bannister to present the station's first rap show in a bid to attract a younger audience.Now Westwood appears himself to have become the victim of a drive to find a younger audience, the latest in a number of changes on the station that saw long-running breakfast presenter Chris Moyles replaced by Nick Grimshaw.
