Sarah Kennedy App!
Hands up who would like a Sarah Kennedy APP?
Applebugs have been in touch to ask if they could "build" an app. It would have lots of features, apparently.
Please comment and say YES if you would load-down the app.
Comment and say NO if you do not think this is not a good idea.
Thanks ppl!

"Breaking BBC rules"
A stupendous review of SK from TV Tropes:
A quintessentially British radio presenter, now retired, who presented an early morning radio show on BBC Radio Two for fifteen years. her performance style was characterised by fumbling, bumbling, on-air gaffes, ocassional lapses into non-politically correct jokes and references, and the suggestion that she sometimes arrived at work in an over-medicated state.
Despite this, her on-air personality, reminiscent of a boarding school matron, was loved by many fans, who protested vocally when her association with the BBC was severed in mysterious and still unexplained circumstances in 2009. This radio presenter's career presented examples of these tropes:
Author Tract: her conservative views and opinions, often blatant and breaking BBC rules about political impartiality.
Creator Breakdown: on at least one occasion her show was taken off the air because she was incoherent, rambling, and clearly in no fit state to continue.
Suspicions of Drinking On Duty were levelled. Allegedly.
Dude, Not Funny!: the jokes about black people that got her into trouble at least twice.
So Bad, It's Good: listening figures were boosted by those who tuned in early in the hope of hearing another classic Kennedy gaffe.

STATEMENT
"After 17 years of early starts, the temptation of destroying my alarm clock has proved too much to resist and as I have been spared for this long, it's time for a change. I shall miss my Dawn Patrollers – their wit, wisdom and warmth, more than I can put into words. After I've taken a long-earned rest, I'm looking forward to new opportunities, hopefully inside and outside broadcasting. I'm so pleased to have outlived Terry Wogan and I have advised Bob Shennan against hiring Aled Jones as my replacement."
Bob Shennan, controller of Radio 2 and 6 Music, said: "Sarah has entertained Radio 2 listeners for over 30 years with energy and enthusiasm, gaining an army of fans with her inimitable style of broadcasting. Everyone at the BBC would like to thank Sarah for her many years of sterling service, and wish her the very best of luck for the future. We shall miss her, but I have a funny feeling we have not heard the last of her."
