    Blimey, Radio 1 DJs from my youth are falling like flies. First Annie Nightingale, now Steve Wright. I remember revising for my O levels with these two on in the background.

    A companion for many motorway trips down the years.
    A sad loss.

    Just think of the congregation at the funeral
    • Mr Angry from Purley
    • The Dude
    • Damien, the Radio 1 social worker
    • Gervaise the hairdresser
    • Mr Spoons
    • Sid the Manager
    • Captain Fishy
    • Barry from Watford
    • The Old Woman
    • Mick & Keef
    • David Bowie
    • etc, etc
    A sad loss indeed.

    I was never a fan of Steve Wright’s presenting style but, I remember Mr Spoons and the Richard Cranium awards.

    Same, never really my thing when he was R1/TOTP but he always seemed decent and ever present.

    Happily listened to him as I got older on drives.

    Oh, that's good.
    The best I could come up with was that he's now doing Steve Wright in the mourning
