Vicki Butler-Henderson

16Sep

When she was about three, she sat in a tractor on her Dad’s knee.  Her love of vehicles began then, although now she’s more closely connected with faster cars – as witnessed on Top Gear and Fifth Gear.

At ten, she wanted to be a formula one driver.  Now, we’re not 100% sure how Vicki Butler-Henderson is going to get here at the crack of dawn in the morning, but she seems to be a fan of Christian’s – so we’ve asked her to get up early to join Christian on the breakfast show (long time listeners may remember a stint she did here in the past).

But, given how they seem to be getting on, we have a sneaking suspicion she may have a touch more to say than Christian might be used to!

    Funnily enough, I never caught Vicki on either Top Gear of Fifth Gear; only realized she was her when I saw her name on National Geographic’s I Didn’t Know That. Or maybe it’s just us folks in Asia.

    Is there a reason you’re not posting a pic of her?

    Dear Boss of ABSOLUTE RADIO

    The 28th,29th or at latest on September 30 will launch ABSOLUTE RADIO your beautiful creation, I hope that the birth of ABSOLUTE RADIO done perhaps with big surprises on air, I hope in a large countdown timer, I expect great sound effects,great emotions at ONE GOLDEN SQUARE the new ABSOLUTE RADIO CENTER.

    In short, dear Boss of ABSOLUTE RADIO :Let’s realize the birth of your and our radio a great event

    Donnach, Clive, Adrian and many others will launch an appeal that will be a proposal:
    make the birth of ABSOLUTE RADIO a historic event in the world of English Radio, a moment that will be difficult to forget.

    Dear chiefs and managers of ABSOLUTE RADIO in a few weeks born will the birth of a new creature, in a few weeks a new creature will beamed in the UK and Around the World, I think that the birth of a new radio must become a unique unforgettable event.

    Dear Boss of ABSOLUTE RADIO I hope that the launch takes place in grand style, maybe you can interrupt transmission of VIRGIN RADIO few hours before…transmitting only music with an unforgettable countdown and finally at the fateful launch of the new radio there is a unique atmosphere.

    In short humbly ask you this thing:

    1) Making unique the launch of ABSOLUTE RADIO
    2) Making extraordinary and memorable launch of your new creation
    3) Turn a show absolutely original the launch of ABSOLUTE RADIO
    4) Suggest a big countdown timer with jingles which will be transmitted in radio
    5) Making a big countdown timer on your new website absoluteradio.co.uk

    Maybe you could say goodbye to VIRGIN RADIO UK 24 hours before the launch of the new ABSOLUTE RADIO with a music programming with inside a tease-involve countdown that is capable of attracting the attention of listeners. My idea is 24 hours during which occurs a sort of genetic mutation, an event that is more than a closedown and when the time of the launch of ABSOLUTE RADIO be reached immediately make perceptible the changement, a switch-off, a changeover that remains imprinted forever in your and our mind.

    You are the great experts in the world of radio, I like many other listeners have high hopes in ABSOLUTE RADIO.

    So the 28th,29th or 30th September let’s participate in this great event launching ABSOLUTE RADIO

    Speaking of the artistic side I hope and I am confident that the launch of ABSOLUTE RADIO takes place in an ABSOLUTE-ly magnificent.

    I am in ABSOLUTE fibrillation for the birth of your radio

    Also I am sure that you will not disappoint us:about how we will be launched ABSOLUTE RADIO, as will the radio on air and online.All these things that I said I think that would say even the millions of listeners that each day hear the great music and great work of all your dj’s.

    Kind regards,

    GIOVANNI from Italy

    It can’t be completely accurate because Tim Lichfield and Tim Shaw cannot broadcast at the same time Fridays between 10pm-1am. Unless of course, the show can be called “The Two Tims” sort of like Billy Joel and Elton John in concert together.

    Already taking a book on how long VBH lasts.
    Don’t think she’s finished a sentence yet without COC jumping all over her.
    Reminds me of when our cat sits on your knee – drives the dog bonkers.
