Where's his dog?

2,4,6,8, motorway for any of them

That had occurred to me Glen but you're obviously a lot braver than I am

And look at the size of CDs in those days.

...and the amount of hair the Dj's had

You can just see the producer behind the screen.

Not 'alf...

Guys and Gals...

"Why are you sniffing up that salt, Johnny?"

206 wasn't a ´óÏó´«Ã½ frequency. Luxembourg, maybe?

#11
Luxembourg was 208.
Great memories - does anyone remember Rocktober?

#12 Fabulous 208...I remember listening to Tony Prince almost sobbing on air the night Elvis died.

I am far too young, sorry cannot help.

I was very, very young at the time...in fact I only vaguely remember it...or perhaps I've just been told about it and only think I remember it ;0)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the theme was 'Countdown' and not 'Top Twenty'. I have to say I'm a bit miffed at the dismissive tone that was taken on air about the 'Zero' inclusion. If it had been the 'Top Twenty' which had actually been posted, then there's no way that Zero would be included. It wasn't so Zero should have, and Bab's's 3.34 fewer track record would have been affected.

Obviously BB 'n' B didnae go tae a richt skail

Got that off my chest now, so away to bed.

The dug's name was (woof woof) Arnold by the way

247 AM - Radio One was One-derful

It was about five years later I found out that records had bass guitars and cymbals on them.

FM - (no static at all)

#16 Calm down DC

If the theme was Countdown then surely they should have played stuff like:-

Oh Carol - Neil Sedaka
Here I go Again - White(ley)Snake
Dick-a-dum-dum - Des O'Connor
It's only words - The Bee Gees
Lucky Number - Lene Lovich

I think the committee may well be out on whether or not "Zero" is officially used in a countdown.

Night, night and sleep tight.

#13 I made a Crystal set as a kid (my Dad was a radio engineer in the RF in the 1950's and passed on his knowledge to me). I remember tuning in regularly to 208 under the covers and trying not to get caught!

De-de, De-de, Deedley-de-de

I know. Sometimes it feels like they're not taking the whole thing seriously.

I salute our pedantic sensibilities!

#19. We had places near our house called s-h-o-p-s and I bought a radio from one of them. It was really good and I could listen to lots of different radio stations using it ;0). Did you have to be under the covers because the set was connected to the bedsprings?

P.S. Jim - Must confess to being curious as to what you had for your tea last night.

#22 Pizza!

#22 - Under the covers listening to Chuck Berry's - Ding-a-Ling.

#19 Jim - did the moderators edit that post?

#25 Ha! No they certainly did not!

Hmm. Took you an awfull long time to confirm that!

#26, must have been checking his aerial?
