John Peel channeling Neil Pye.

Not the finest period of Captain Beefheart.

Well, that was real now.

Forgot to say, some nutter keen radio enthusiast has uploaded some classic Terry Wogan morning radio shows up to you tubes



Just as boring as I remember it was at the time!

Old School music selection though, no Du Lipa feat. Ann Marie style bops in 93!





Still not put the pointer on the right place on the dial on that one either.

Kenneth William = OG.

OMG, he's got an episode of Week Ending from September 1982!  







Nothing dates like up-to-the-minute satire.

I listed to a episode of 'I'm sorry I haven't a clue' from 1981, it's much better now they script it rather than ab libbing and giggling at their own jokes.

The News Quiz from 1982!

He's got a copy of Quote Unquote from 1980!

But some things are too good to listen to,

That's the third time in the last week that I've been reminded of Willie Rushton, who I hadn't thought about in probably at least 15 years.

From the days when people were allowed to laugh along with old, privileged white men.

I'm almost too scared to check, but

Will Rushton was 44 when he recorded that episode of I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue.

Graeme Garden was 38…

Willie Rushton was always my favourite out of the classic lineup.

Tim Brooke-Taylor wasn't always on it though, quite often he'd be replaced by someone else. Kenny Everett took his place once.

Things were much better in the past, I'm the only one who listens to this in my class. etc etc.

Terry Wogan used to be on Radio 1.

it could have been when they were sharing the frequencies with Radio 2.



I still remember the only radio that was on after midnight was Radio 2..

:shudder:

Hmm, maybe not.

So that's what Steve Jones did before playing guitar for the S*x P*stols.

When Radio 1 started, he presented Late Night Extra (10pm to midnight) for two years, flying over from Dublin every week. This show was simultaneously broadcast on Radio 2.

In 1969, Terry took over his own weekday afternoon show aired on both Radio 1 and 2. In April 1972 he took over the 7.00 - 9.30am morning show solely on Radio 2.
