Saturdays 10am-2pm / Channel 103's Hot 20
First album/first record bought?
Showaddywaddy Greatest Hits 76-78 (They were also the first band I saw live at Fort Regent when I was little).
Embarrassing moment?
During one of my Saturday shows years ago I was Interviewing Peter Mac live on the phone. He was doing a charity Island walk - the problem was that I could hear him and he could hear me but because I’d forgotten to push a button in the studio, the listeners could only hear me asking questions:
“So Peter, are your feet sore ?” Followed by a gap of silence for about 30 seconds as Peter answered before I’d say something like “ooh, sounds painful” More silence. “Maybe a long hot bath will sort that out tonight” ....followed by more silence. This went on for about 4 minutes with just the odd line from me followed by nothing. Now that was embarrassing.
Favourite TV/Netflix series?
Channel 4’s No Offense created by Paul Abbott (so well written). Either that or Humans with Katherine Parkinson & Tom Goodman-Hill.
What’s one of your bad habits?
The black cassock I wear on a Sunday. It’s not a good fit.
Guilty pleasure?
Making up silly answers.
