RMweb Gold big jim Posted June 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2014 Who else remembers the adventures and anecdotes of Fat Harry White on the Mark & Lard show circa 1999 - for me the last presenters that made Radio 1 worth listening to. "...my friend is getting his interior doors done. He told me he was thinking of going into town to Roger the door stripper in the hope of getting his big pink one dipped..." i've got a couple of "fat harry white" albums, as well as the shirehorses, how they got away with it on mainsteam radio 1 is beyond me, saying things like "i was in a restraunt and i dropped me roast beef, carrots and peas on my lap, but it wasn't long before fiesty fiona was on all fours between me legs gobbling up me meat and two veg" i've got the whole last show on MP3 on the ipod, superb sing along with travis doing "why is it always dairylea?" to the tune of "why does it always rain on me" the day they left radio 1 was the last time i listened to radio 1 through my own choice STOP............... ..........CARRY ON!

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted June 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2014 Can't wait for the new series to start tonight, its been so long since I heard any 'Blue Chip Filth' Like 87029 I was at the Carlisle recording a couple of years ago and have attended a 'not for broadcast' show too. The producer really must learn a new Warm up gag! Impatiently tuning my Radio, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I dunno, Radio 1 can be pretty risque even today. They recently had a spot where two guys, both named Matt would have a couple of minutes to discuss a topical issue, I have no doubt that this was engineered solely so they could announce it as 'Now its time for the Matts' Debate!'

RMweb Premium DLT Posted June 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2014 I'm convinced that shows like Round the Horne got away with it because the BBC bigwigs didnt get the jokes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted June 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2014 This reminds me of the story about the IT department at Borough of Scunthorpe who implemented an email filter and suddenly all emails stopped getting through. It didn't take too long for them to realise that the offending word was, ion fact, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th letters of the Boroughs name! Phil Reminds me of some toilet grafitti along the lines of "Typhoo may have put the T in Britain but which idiot named Scunthorpe" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted June 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2014 Samantha must have been hurt by all the adverse publicity, as her place on the show tonight was taken by her Scandinavian friend "The Rippling Sven" Easy to see when his excitement increases as the teams scores mount.

RMweb Premium DLT Posted June 30, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2014 Samantha, in her day job, is now working with two part-time gentlemen, Fred and Jack. Fred comes in at lunchtime and Jacks off all afternoon.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm@gwr Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 On the subject of 'how did they get away with that?' I still miss 'Janet & John' on Radio 2 in the mornings, on Terry Wogan's show. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGC Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 We weren't able to type our addresses into the school's new computers for a time due to this, which made work like writing cv's or letters difficult! I have it on very good authority that many years ago, when Polytechnics could call themselves University's, Newcastle Polytechnic's first attempt was City University of Newcastle upon Tyne. It was only after all the corporate stationary had been printed that they realised the error of the name! Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGC Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'm certain my parents didn't! Ian I remember a Jasper Carrot sketch where he asked if anyone in the audience was from Newark. He then offered them his sympathy for being people who lived in the only town in the UK that's an anagram of w*nker. Shortly after this, I was driving, with my parents, along the A1 and passed the sign for Newark. I burst out laughing and my mother asked what I was laughing at. I can't remember how I explained that one! Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernowtim Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Sometimes I was late for work listening to Janet and John stories, the day John met Lord buoys who introduced him to Lady buoys, and probably Melanie frontage, poor John.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DLT Posted July 7, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2014 I thought the Lionel Blair references were far worse than the Samantha stories: "Sound Chirades is based on the TV quiz show "Give Us A Clue", the expert was Lionel Blair. Who could forget him panting on his knees, finishing off An Officer And A Gentleman in under two minutes." "The look of glee on his face as he leaned accross the table to receive "Uncle Vanya."

Mike at C&M Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 The ever delightful Samantha has managed to sneak in for a quicky, whilst no-one was paying attention. Either that, or she was hiding behind Jo Brand. New series of 'Clue' is back on Radio 4, with the first episode of the latest series (No.62) now on the BBC Iplayer. Enjoy, I know I will.
