    Maltesers! (don't like the others)
  • Worst mistake you’ve made on air??
    Allowing some cub scouts into the studio and one of the little darlings had switched the record deck from 45 to 78 without me knowing, therefore making Billy Fury sound like Pinky and Perky - never again!

    The hopalongs

    Haven't got either!
  • Most embarrassing song on your Mp3 or I-Pod??

  • Any Claim to Fame?? I once interviewed footballer Bobby Moore (my all-time footballing icon) via a landline - told the engineer at the studio to tape the interview and when I got back he'd taped over the interview with a chart show saying who is Bobby Moore anyway!!!!  (But I'm not bitter about it, even after 20 years)
  • Richard & Judy or Phil & Fern?
    Who?
  • What would you request if you were in Hospital listening to Radio Grapevine? Something cheerful - 'Shine A Little Love', E.L.O. springs to mind
