Sense of place

Not many UK reviews this morning for Irishman Ryan Tubridy, who made his full Radio 2 debut this weekend, coverning Graham Norton's two month summer holiday.

There is this, from the Irish Times. In an on-air interview to introduce Tubridy to the listeners of his Saturday morning radio programme, Norton warned his fellow Irishman that the trickiest part of the job was pronouncing quirky British place-names..... Over the course of three hours, Tubridy did not tackle any oddly named locales. Indeed, aside from the odd reference to texts from Cardiff or the weather in London, he made scant concession to the fact that he was broadcasting in Britain at all.
