Danny Baker is returning to a daily show on BBC London already - just a few months after quitting the station's breakfast show. Baker was always due to return to the station, but it was not expected that he would take a high profile daily show quite so soon. As of next Monday Baker will host the station's afternoon show each day from 3-5pm.
Confirming his new show, Baker told reporters: "My new life of indolence was going wonderfully well until I was offered a new show back at the old place that both intrigued and stimulated me. 'How about', they said, 'coming back and doing what you do - but this time in a way that would NOT require you to get up at 4.44am?'. I must say the boldness and risk inherent in the scheme both fascinated and, yes, intimidated me. NOT getting up while it was still dark eh? Why those crafty, crazy mad BBC London so-and-so's".
BBC London editor David Robey added: "With Danny now in the afternoon, I believe this will be the strongest line up of radio talent on the dial, with Jono and Jo, Vanessa Feltz and Robert Elms. Welcome back Danny!"
