Very Last Of The Summer Wine

Pub Quiz Question : What was Compo's real name? William Simmonite.

What will Holmfirth do now? Will it have to close down? Why they have to merge with nearby Netherthong?

First World Problems Of A Very Lucky Boy

I was a very lucky boy. When it came to leaving school I didn't just go wide eyed into the big bad world to see where it took me. I knew. Since being at least 8 years old I wanted to be a radio presenter. I loved listening to Manchester's Piccadilly Radio. I listened all day and all night. Timmy Mallett was my first favourite and when a lad called Mark Lupton from 2 years above me at St. Dunstan's won the top 10 singles on his show I was insanely jealous!

In 1991, aged 15, I started my own weekly show on Northern Air Hospital Radio and from that moment I was regularly broadcasting, joining the hospital radio station in my uni town, the univer...

Ross and Brand

Just getting back to work now and catching up on what I've missed. The whole Russell Brand and Johnathan Ross thing. Childish - yes. Good entertaining radio - undecided. Worth 3 people losing their jobs over including the woman who made the radio station the biggest in the country - hardly.
