Collins & Herring to cover Adam & Joe
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 28 January 2010
Andrew Collins and Richard Herring have been announced as the next guest presenters to cover Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish’s Saturday morning slot on BBC 6music while they take time off to concentrate on other projects. The pair take over from Danny Wallace, who has been filling in since Christmas, with the first of their five shows broadcasting this weekend.
Says Andrew Collins: “Richard and I have been childishly jealous of Adam and Joe’s success and immaculate speaking voices for many years. Now they have gone to Hollywood on the flimsy pretext of having some ‘other work’ to do for a bit, we are only too pleased to jump into their shoes and play with their loyal listeners for the next five weeks. We cannot promise any pets in the studio, but we will be drawing upon the unbalanced enthusiasm of the Saturday morning audience and hoping to create a genial, jumper-wearing ‘Swap Shop’ atmosphere, like Saturday mornings used to be, in other words. Also, we guarantee never to record a song. You have our word on that”.
Collings and Herring will have to tone down a bit from the content that fills their weekly podcast. The stuff about having sex with tortoise shells should be fine, though.
