i know nothing about rob da bank but it seems an odd choice. but then again, trying to actually properly 'fill' peel's slot would have been nigh on impossible.

um, not keen, too HIGNFY. looking back three weeks to the Guest Slots (Underworld, Robert Smith, Siouxie) i thought they were interesting but all a bit lukewarm. i got the feeling they'd toned things down, somehow.
I'd like to see:
* the peel production team picking the records from peel's mailbag / session archive
* a stronger presenter than RDB. not Lamacq.
* listener suggestions (because we know what we like.)
(on that last point i think back to annie nightingale's shows back when she did requests on sunday evenings. people would phone up and suggest things like 'Violence Grows' or 'Is That All There Is', quirky little stuff like that.)
for me, radcliffe's R1 evening shows are the only thing that's been anywhere near as enjoyable in the last 10 years.

I miss Annie Nightingale :-(
Wonder if she'd take the killer timeslot, if she was offered it?
