Radio 1 - circa 1970s?

Question

Anyone remember listening to the Top 40 Countdown on Sunday nights - fingers hovering over the record and play buttons on the radio cassette recorder so you could cut out Simon Bates' talking, and never quite managing it. Then switching over to Radio Luxemburg in all its crackly, fading in and out glory. And Radio One DJs - Diddy David Hamilton, Gary Davis' Willie on the Plonker (so to speak), Steve Wright in the afternoon, Our Tune - and who else couldn't stand DLT? Oh happy days.

Answer 1

Ah... That was a nice trip down memory lane, thankyou ;)

I remember taking my radio with me when i did my paper round so I could listen to the DLT Breakfast Show. He was bonkers... Snooker and darts on the radio.. lol.

I don't think my customers could have been too impressed though. After all, it was a morning round and i would have the radio turned up pretty loud... hehe

Answer 2

Stop picking on DLT, otherwise known as "The hairy cornflake". I loved listening to him

Answer 3

Ahhhhhh the good old days when we had REAL music!!!!

Answer 4

Answer 5

I remember Johhny Burnett saying ^ucks Bizz instead of Bucks Fizz.

Answer 6

You,ve brought back some memories there, but what about The Old Grey Whistle Test as well?

    I used to love that programme

Answer 7

I remember doing it right through the 80's - so we were just as bad before limewire and the rest! lol..

Answer 8

aah.. the good old days when you could record something off the radio without big record companies kicking down your door and dragging you into court for millions.. bliss..

Answer 9

Yes - and remember top of the pops?  Me and my sister used to dance around the living room.. and it was Jimmy Saville  !!

Answer 10

Yes I do and I really miss it ~ The Top 40 is not the same these days.

Thanks for the memories and I glad that Steve Wright is still on Radio 2 in the afternoons but not as Mr Angry.
