Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo are bringing their Friday movie review from Five Live to BBC2. They’re getting their own slot on The Culture Show after that series’ producer has “often wondered why TV can’t be this good.” As a late convert to Mayo on the radio, I think the question should be why can’t certain radio properties successfully translate to telly? Jonathan Ross has always been better on the wireless than on the small screen, and similarly – I would argue – have Adam and Joe. Mayo, of course has a history of rubbish TV appearances behind him. So what’s the problem?

It seems to me nothing more than those aforementioned radio personalities just suit the kind of freewheeling format that radio offers and telly can’t.

Who knows, perhaps Mayo and Kermode will be ace on The Culture Show - somehow though I doubt it.
