I think it's been as good lately as ever. There are little things that annoy me, but i'm easily annoyed, so it's no big deal.
I think the 'Ramble' thing is tired now and I wouldn't miss it if it went away, or even if they messed around with it a bit like they used to - but it's only 30 seconds out of the hour and a half I have the radio on for. I can cope.
I get a tiny bit disappointed with Chris when he goes to so much effort to show how he doesn't hate gay people and isn't a fwightful homophobe etc - my impression is that before all the fuss he never gave it any thought, but now he feels a bit under pressure to show how modern and cuddly he is, which is a step backwards if you ask me. It's a bit like a Simpsons episode sometimes. I liked the Chris that didn't back down over things like that, no matter how much of a twat he made himself look. It was part of the charm.
I also thought Russell Brand was one of the best guests they've ever had. I'd certainly rather hear him that that smug little nob Paddy Kielty.
