There's a right way and a wrong way
He started last week, taking over from Quiny. On the drive slot from 4 through 7pm. You know the guy; he was the one on Celebrity Fit Club that had a pop at Anne Diamond and lost shed loads of weight.

Anyway, Wrighty is in a fascinating position. He's feted, loved, worshipped and generally adored by the footballing community, despite have a couple of well dodgy chat shows to his name since he retired from "the arse" see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARSENAL_FOOTBALL_CLUB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Wright will tell you everything you need to know about the man. Including his recent appointment to becoming the side kick of one Adrian Durham. Please see here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Durham
This combination of presenters will be fascinating to a keen listener of radio who takes small delight in the sociological twists and turns of live broadcasting.
Wrighty.
National hero, clever, street sussed, big-headed, kind, funny, sexy and loved by babes, grans and young lads alike. JVIP well tips his hat to this wonderful guy. he's a special bloke.
Adrian Durham
AKA "Ginger whinger" Mouthpiece of the show. a dominant grammar school, Thatcherite sort of a boy. Indignant, opinionated, aggressive, chippy, bullied and bullying, ladsy, partial and very funny sometimes. His saving grace (of course) is that despite having a completely crappy 80's taste in music, he does cite the "blessed Stephen" see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrisey as his ultimate musical hero.
A compelling combination then, eagerly awaited by me. This week has been interesting to see how the new relationship would work out.
Early indications suggest, AD AKA GW, has fallen into a sycophantic adoration of the great man. The posh boy capitulating and fawning by turn in an attempt to ingratiate himself to this working-class footballing legend of positive and compelling manhood.
More of this in the future as AD AKA GW finds himself being eclipsed by the arriviste.
On the home front my lover Pip has taken up football seriously. She has a blog dedicated to the subject. She took up Hair. She took up Shoes. She took up Food, and unmistakably, she took up Music.
Then she took up blogging.
Maybe if I said I'd taken to listening to Radio Leicester, she think about taking up Wrighty.
