Jane Graham: Bacon's 5 Live show is a delight in general, but all the best stuff happens in the Special Half Hour

Tory MP Richard Bacon has e-mailed all MPs announcing a 'catastrophe'. Congo ? Mumbai? Baby P? No, none of these. His 'catastrophe' is the holding Damien Green in custody for nine hours. One dictionary definition of the word catastrophe is...

Yesterday Andrew Lansley, Tory Health Spokesman, was forced to withdraw a blog entry stating that "Interestingly on many counts, recession can be good for us. People tend to smoke less, drink less alcohol, eat less rich food and spend time at home with their families." Last night I spoke from the panel on Richard Bacon's BBC Radio Five Live show about this. Saying recession is a bad thing. David Kuo...

Radio One of the few sublime broadcast moments inspired by the Brand/Ross debarkle happened during Danny Baker's 606 football phone-in on Five Live a night or so before Brand resigned and Ross was suspended. Towards the end of the show, Richard Bacon, whose own show happens in the later slot, wandered in to trail the fact that he'd inevitably be talking about the controversy on his own show. Baker...

I was a guest this evening on the Richard Bacon show again on BBC Radio Five Live. We talked about all kinds of stuff from the Brand/Ross thing to Doctor Who, the pressures of fame and lots of fun callers too. If you want to "listen again" it will shortly be up here, you click on "Wed" and I'm introduced about an hour into the show (and I'm on for about an hour and forty minutes, so make a cuppa first!)....

I listened to Richard Bacon on Radio Five Live talking to a father objecting to his son being placed in a school isolation room with some shock and a decent amount of disgust last night, utterly shocked that a parent was raising the issue. The parent, who was complaining, objected to his son being placed in a plain isolation room for one day where he would be expected to work in silence, whilst being...

Poor the Richard Bacon - it seems the disgraced former Blue Peter presenter has not been invited to the 50th birthday party being held by the Queen in honour of the legendary children’s television programme. Bacon was sacked from the show in 1998 following allegations...

I did a few pro-Mansfield buttons yesterday, and Tom Pegg from the Local Paper - the Chad - has demanded one of Richard Bacon , who is now a presenter on Radio 5. Since I found a good Creative Commons photo of Richard Bacon on Flick-r (courtesy James Cridland), here you go, Tom: The only fly in the ointment will be if he detests Mansfield. If so, we'll set Alan Meale MP on him.

Before its integrity was rocked by a phoney phone-in and a cat named Cookie, before its innocence was besmirched by coke-snorting presenter Richard Bacon, long before it became absorbed into Seventies nostalgic kitsch, Blue Peter set the course of my life. It is uncool to admit this, safer to make glib gags about sticky-backed plastic and “Get down, Shep!”, but as a knowledge-hungry working-class child...

I'm doing an hour long phone-in on 5 Live's Richard Bacon programme at midnight tonight on the subject of whether Margaret Thatcher should have a State Funeral. I'm up against some lefty playwright called Ed Waugh, who wrote a play called MAGGIE'S END. Nice. It is probably just as well that he will be in the Newcastle studio.
