The other thread started by Bear about how shite 98FM is reminded me of the disappearance in 2007 of the Jack and Ali lunchtime talkshow on Spin.
Don't get me wrong, talkshows are not my bag. My wife is addicted to "Moan to Joe" and I get a rash whenever I hear moaning voices in the background.
A nation's ideal of social justice is summed up in three words "Moan to Joe".
Anyway, that's not the point. I happened to be driving every Tuesday lunchtime and I developped a habit of listening to Jack and Ali. The fact that they were a real-life couple gave the show a very dynamic vibe (it must have been hard for them to sound positive and jolly after a major domestic argument...)
Anyway, they disappeared without a trace. Axed and buried all of sudden. Does anyone know what happened?
They were replaced by the most boring would-be-young-and-trendy me-me-miz.
Pity
