Good luck to Nick, I'm sure you jumped before they pushed you! 9 till 12.30 has been bad this week, I'm sure his army of listeners have missed him.

This appeared soon after Nick ‘left’ in 2006 For those who are fans of Nick Girdler, as you know he was axed from Radio Solent a couple of weeks ago. What's really insulting is that Solent management think that people believe the official line that he left of his own accord. Can't abide those who think you're stupid and will believe anything they say. A Yahoo group has been set up with non-restricted membership. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nickgirdlerhasleftthebuilding/ I was a real fan because he was definitely un-PC, called a spade a spade, didn't suffer fools, was funny and entertaining, was knowledgeable in all sorts of areas, deflated the pompous, as well as never charging for personal appearances for the selected causes he supported (unlike most so-called celebs), said he was well-looked after by society and therefore gave 21 days of his time for free back to it, was a school governor and still is a magistrate. Really brightened the mornings with his totally interactive show for those who wanted to be part of it. He wasn't everyone's cup of tea, and something went wrong so he's no longer with the BBC.

Nick Appreared in Panto during 2010/2011 At the Kings Theatre Southsea Jack and the Beanstalk Published Friday 10 December 2010 at 13:34 by John Hannam How times have changed at the Kings, Southsea. Just a few years ago, there was considerable doubt about the venue’s future, and they had to resort to amateur pantomimes. This Jack and the Beanstalk is very traditional - laced with audience participation, good comedy, colourful dance routines - and is a tonic for all ages. The star of the show is unquestionably Aiden J Harvey, who flies to Britain from Spain for his pantomime seasons. As Simple Simon he has the energy, enthusiasm and experience to keep everything moving. He has seen it all before and the kids love him from his first entrance. Lynne McGranger makes an impact as Witch Blackweed, and her confrontations with Britt Ekland, as Fairy Pea-Pod - who flew in from the Australian jungle and virtually went straight on stage - are most enjoyable. Richard Stride, in only his second time as a dame, really scores as Tilly Trott. He plays it simply, with real tradition and it works very well. Nick Girdler, as King Willy, is the best local radio presenter I have ever seen in pantomime. The Radio Solent legend is an integral part of this production and looks at home. Daniella Gibb sings strongly as Princess Jill and she enjoys several effective scenes with Steven Arnold (Ashley Peacock from Coronation Street) as Jack. The opening company number sets up this very fine show at a venue that has such an amazing atmosphere for pantomime. The Twelve Days of Christmas comedy routine is one of the best I have ever seen in 40 years of watching pantomimes —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radioman72 (talk • contribs) 15:18, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
