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.
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.
