The off button

I have been reading the recent letters concerning Zoe Ball, and I'm left wondering what all this hatred is about.

Mr Fenlon writes: ‘This vacuous, narcissistic non-entity babbles through each of her programmes, with a studio full of oily sycophants shrieking and whooping at her every comment.’

Personally speaking, Mr McPhail and Mr Fenlon, I find Zoe's Radio 2 show each morning enlightening and joyous to listen to, such an uplift to her predessesor Chris Evans who left the show some three years ago.

You do of course have an option Mr Fenlon should you not be pleased with the show, turn to another programme or turn off,

Its really not that difficult.

Only saying.
