Advantages: Great, easy to listen presenter with a lovely afternoon show. Disadvantages: not enough presenters/programmes like this
of music you want from clasical to jazz, rock and oldies but even this fail us in the end as listening to the same style for too long can lead to you launching your radio through the nearest window. If you don't want to go for one set style you can try one of the more mainstream options that possibly the younger among us listen to but again here are stumbling blocks. You will be driven mad by the current top 20 hits which appear over and over again through out the day and will come across presenters that you just can't have any hope of understanding unless someone takes your mental age back 20 years.
BUT....FEAR NOT!!.........There is one last glimmer of hope, shining in the darkness of silence. I give to you the solution which is.........Steve Wright on Radio 2.

The plot of the game is that there are five different cases which you have to solve, similar to the approach taken by the television series. You use the stylus to find areas of interest, objects, getting samples and the like, to help ...
Advantages: realistic likeable characters Disadvantages: predictable plot, and the box design
I saw this film pretty much as soon as it came out on dvd (it had a different cover then) and it's such a hidden treasure that when I saw no-one had reviewed it I decided I had to.
********The story
This film is essentially about a thirty-something ambitionless nursery teacher (Dex) who coasts through life and has created his fusion philosophy of Buddhism lite, pop-philosophy and trying to be like all the cool 'Steves' in movies (Steve McQueen being the ultimate role model) which seems to bring him luck with the ladies despite his somewhat average looks: 'The Tao of Steve'. He spends many an afternoon playing frisbie golf and passing on his words of wisdom to his mates. I didn't quite keep his exact words in mind while watching, so I call upon the official film website for his essential philosophical statement drawn from Heidegger ...
