that's why we (or at least me) always made fun of THE PEOPLE'S HOUR COLON WE DO WHAT WE WANT. because "the people's hour" invariably started off with a segment or two of HARD BAKE regurgitating the stuff you've heard on the station all day, and then the rest of THE PEOPLE'S HOUR was essentially laurence picking some topic and rambling on about it while he took 2-3 callers to fortify the idea that it's some populist hour where "anything goes."
basically laurence indulges himself for the 30-45min of the show (cuz it's not even an hour unless the people clamored for HARD BAKE) and hides behind THE PEOPLE to justify it like they're all calling up in droves demanding the topic that laurence just happens to be going on and on about.
