It seems the lovely genius that is Edith Bowman will begin her maternity leave on 16th May 2008.... There is no set date for her return to R1.

It seems that Guest Presenters will be covering her slot. Excellent stuff.

I wouldn't go by this post. It's the same guy who had exclusive information that R1's Big Weekend would be in Ireland this year.

I noticed this, Jono, just after I created this thread!!! That's why I added the "it seems" to my posts!!!

Hopefully, it will be correct however.

Actually I've heard its very reliable information

I think when she has gone, my wish would be to bring back Mark & Lard.

I mean really the afternoons are rubbish. If you want qaulity broadcasting Danny Baker on BBC London on a weekday afternoon from 3pm is radio magic and he is a legend.

Sorry but Edith goodbye, good luck and don't come back. And for the love of god please dont have that talentless unfuny idiot Vernon 'i love myself' Kay take over.

Ah, Mark & Lard. Quality radio. Sadly I don't think they present together any more, though.

I would like her show to be given to Alan Carr and Justin Lee Thingy.

Yeah mark and lard. That would be a step up. Jk and Joel even better. don't listen to the afternoons at all. Good job there is nothing worth listening too.

the chuckle brothers would be an improvement

This would be AMAZING!

As much as I like JK and Joel, I've very rarely come across a person who likes them more than they liked Mark and Lard.

Also - Mark and Lard is never going to happen in a million years. So stop being delusional.
