George Lamb, love him or loathe him. I say "love", but I can't find any evidence of it anywhere. Petitions, on the other hand, have been sent to BBC 6 Music to have him removed from the schedules forthwith, preferably as painfully as possible.
As someone who finds the concept of zoo radio about as appealing as sharing a small cage with hyenas, I've caught his weekday show only for the purposes of research – can he really be that bad? Well, yes, he can (though whether he's any worse than Chris Moyles is a moot point). Certainly, all that gabbing and gassing makes a mockery of the "Music" bit of BBC 6.
In May, he won the "Rising Star" category at the Sony Awards, and I hate to say it but they're probably right.
