And he's finding it 'difficult and upsetting'

It's the two most charismatic presenters on British radio working together.

How could it fail?

It’s Also pushed the specialised music shows to 8pm

Apparently nick grimshaw’s lost half a million listeners, I didn’t think he still had that many!

I just turned on Radio 5 Xtra, or whatever its called and it some local cricket match, but the bowler is called 'Podmore'!

:giggle:

I came across this image on the Interwebs,

Interwebs my bottom. You broke into my house and took that photo secretly, didn't you?

I did mine so it looked like the official cassette release



Only scruffier, and not on fancy metallic paper.

They're releasing The Hitch hikers Hitchhikers Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy on ye oldé vinyls!



They'll be bringing it on taape next,

You can get an Amazon exclusive signed by, Neil Gaiman



And they will be releasing the first 5 serieses, Not that last one, which is odd. Still as it was terrible, and already forgotten, who cares.

In fact everything past series 2 is a bit ropey. I throw the neutomatic cup at them.

Pam Ayres is talking about wanting to ravish Bruce Springsteen.

Someones put a load of Radio Active on youToobs!

Well, 4 of them.

It was this forum the subject of Radio Active/KY-TV came up?

Interesting. The LP sounds like a selection from series 1 (where they hadn't quite got it together yet) and series 2 (where they had).

That Chas & Dave parody is one of my favourite Philip Pope efforts. Like the Housemartins one in the last ever episode of Radio Active, it somehow manages to be more like the original than the original.

The first one you posted is from series 1, so it has a lot of weak bits. It's nice to hear Anna Daptor's jingle though, probably the least heard of all of them.

I love Radio Active, I could keep this thread going for ever just by posting contextless quotes. Or we could have a discussion about their comedy paedophile character Mike Stand, who abruptly vanished from the penultimate series onwards apart from two namechecks in that series and the last one.

The LP was from 1983, which is after series 2, Series 3 was broadcast in late 83.

I like the Kate Bosch bit.
