Steve Wrights old woman

[Carol Anne]

Anyone know the name of the lady behind the 'Old woman' character who appears on the show from time to time. She sounds like one of the 'nanas' on the Shredded wheat commercial. Am I right?

[Buenchico]

The BBC are determined not to let on:

Lots of names have been suggested, with Edna Dor� being one of the most likely:

I always thought it was Wendy Richard. Can't say I listen, as I switch my radio off when Wright comes on. cant stand him.

I agree with Lord about Steve Wright. I can't stand him either. I stopped listening because a) he all too often fails to announce a song title or performer and b) he thinks he's American. His habit of giving the year as Two Thousand Eight as the Americans do makes me cringe! It's so affected. He also toadies up to whoever he has on his show as a guest. Get rid BBC.
