Sorry, it just confused me. It's the Sunday Surgery now, which I've never heard before. Stay or go... stay or go...

I didn't mind Dance Anthems either. He played I Wanna Be U by Chocolate Puma, and Ecstasy by Liquid, and You're Not Alone by Olive... some bloke said he needs more trance to get through his exams... and other than that I can't remember a single thing about it. I think there was a woman's voice talking at some point.

I knew this was your thread William. How do you manage 3 hours of Wes followed by 120 minutes of Dave "Dangerous" Pearce?

Mildly Alarming Dave Pearce, you mean? (cf Mark and Lard 1996/97)

william.

Were you driving a long distance on a sunday night, perchance?

Thing is, looking at this, Dangerous Dave actually seems quite an interesting character. Plus, he's a mainstream DJ come from a specialist music background (cf. Cox, Moyles).

Then there's the whole 'Dance Anthems' angle - this is a programme specifically for playing old records, which would seem to go a bit against Radio 1's current "We Are Far Too Young And... Young" remit.

So why is the man so rubbish?

Kiss has a Dance Anthems show on at the same time, not sure who the presenter is but my is he annoying - every track is punctuated by 'Oi Oi!', 'Oh yes we remember this one!' and indeed 'feel the voib!' - still that's the point eh?

kisstory (i think you'll find it's called) is better tho because it's weighted more to 10 year old club classics and less to 2 year old trance classics. well i prefer that anyway.

Bring back the Annie Nightingale Sunday Night Request Show I say.

Norman Jay's Sunday night Giant 45s show on BBC Radio London is much better. Lots of lovely old soul/disco/house and nu neuro-funk plus NJ's got an MBE and says hello to me in Honest Jon's so there.

four years pass...

Something doesn't fit:

BBC 6 Music today announced a new weekend schedule for the autumn, welcoming Huey Morgan and Dave Pearce to the network.

...

Dance DJ Dave Pearce brings his legendary show Dance Anthems to its spiritual home of Sunday evenings.

Promising to be "the ultimate wind-down to the weekend", Dave will celebrate the best of UK club culture, spanning the last 20 years, alongside the latest tracks that are currently doing the business on the UK's dancefloors.

Dave says: "I'm looking forward to bringing a celebration of club culture to the 6 Music audience and hope to bring in a new group of music fans who will discover what else 6 Music has to offer."

And so the Freakzone loses half an hour. In my opinion it could lose a presenter as well nbut never mind.

6Music as the new Radio Quiet: discuss (not).
