Nope, me too.

I don't know why but he just doesn't strike me as being a part of such an iconic band.

Everytime he's on Radio and TV he reminds us or his co presenter or guest do , wasnt his tune "It Can Only Get Better " used as Labours theme song back in the day of rock n roll politics at Nos 10

He is an incredible broadcaster. Interested in people, astute, wonderfully articulate and very human.

He is very empathetic, admits his own shortfalls, he is prepared to discuss some painful periods of his own life, he is a listener and despite being a clergyman, he doesn't come over as didactic.

Is that a poor attempt at irony? Its mention literally every time th etwat is on tv.

I must listen to detail more, sounds like one of my old school reports. However I did know that Richard Osmans brother is a guitarist in Suede and I now know another factoid with the Prof Cox one 👍

I thought that was a joke at first, but its clearly not.

Thought it was a play on words, Dare to D:Ream!
