Posted August 2, 201312 yr This topic is for you to review what your thoughts of each of the Hosts over the years, some you may not remember or too young to remember. This reviews from 1984 right up to 2013. David "Kid" Jensen: Neil "Dr" Fox: Simon Hirst: Katy Hill: Lucio Buffone: Rich Clarke: Kat Shoob:
August 2, 201312 yr I'll decline this one. As there is a running thing through all Capital produced chart shows (except those introduced by Alan Freeman). They all talk over intros of records & you don't do that on a chart show. End of. Gary Crowley, Mike Smith, Peter Young & Richard Allinson were ok on the Network Chart forerunner "UK Top 30". Jensen takes the crown for nicking Radio One's comfort zone & it's easy to see why Rich & Cat win every week on Big Top 40. They've become decent unchildish stalwarts. Timmy Mallet & Mick Brown also stood in on a couple of Network Charts, but were not great. Best Independant Radio Chart show host, would go to Robin Banks for The Smash Hits Chart, after he replaced Goodier in the 2005/6 run, before it was taken off for "Lucio's" nonsense & stupid remarks like "why don't you download Rhinestine Cowboy?"

I actually quite liked Lucio and thought it was a shame when he vanished suddenly. There was a story there but I can't remember what it was. Foxy did a good job of making the show more entertaining, though of course I usually listened to Radio 1 because it was official. Would love to get my hands on some old 90s Pepsi Chart shows - if anyone can help please send me a PM!
