"Sarah Kennedy gets rather 'tired' during her live Radio 2 show

Radio 2 was flooded with complaints last week after DJ Sarah Kennedy slurred her speech, laughed, rambled, missed cues and
accused a newsreader of soiling her underwear. A spokesman, denying she'd been drinking, blamed tiredness. This is from the show ...

Sarah Kennedy: The gossip is, oh yeah, me with head of Radio 4, gob on a stick ... I'm getting my act together. I have to be absolutely honest with you, erm, I had a terrible night's sleep last night. A real, sort of one of those waking up at 2 o'clock and there's no reason, there's no reason for it [laughter] and various things have happened to the car ...

[Music cuts out] And why? See, exactly! You see, all this stuff [equipment] has gone wrong as well ... Can you mow? Have you got a
mower? Hee, hee, hee. Weekend coming up. Could we do the lawn? ... Fenella! Where is the old fool? Is she around? Oh, you're there. All the equipment seems to be going a bit obscure today. Hold on. What was I going to say ... You know when you had erm ... If you're listening, all the dubries have gone pear-shaped ...

Good morning, Fenella, me and Beej, we're all up the shute! Oh Lord, shall we shoot each other? Get the Lugar out of my knicker draw! I'm a bit limp this morning ... [interrupts music] And that's Blondie ... I be dying a death ... Are you priming yourself, Doris? [another presenter] You are a naughty woman, so I've heard! How much do you cost? Did you say 'shunt'? You're a mini-monster ... We've got problems in here. Ken Bruce the producer is in. What have you got to say? Where is the old fool? I think they're after my fruit mush ... Do we have a vicar amongst us? I still haven't got over my little hots for Father Oliver yesterday. Such a gorgeous man. And where the old [Rev] John Newbury is? Where are you, old prune?"
