Radio DJS do not create music. They are cyphers.

Pompous narrator relating a story about NOTHING! This has got to be a spoof!

Adrian Juste must have had some serious dirt on someone high up at the BBC to have lasted as long as he did.

If this was satire then it could be one of the greatest pieces of satire of all time.

And today … it’s all female and BLMs… and no one listens to or watches BBC anymore

In the late 1970's and early to middle 1980's Radio 1 was a great station.

A lesson *NOT* learned here - *DON'T FUCK ABOUT WITH SOMETHING THAT WORKS WELL!* or *DON'T TRY TO IMPROVE ON PERFECTION!* Matthew Bannister should've been *Persona Non Grata* at Radio BBC1.

19:30 If you *EXCLUDE* music recorded before 1990, then you *junk the good stuff and go with UTTER GARBAGE!* The *REAL* talent lies with artists, duos, trios and groups(four or more members) that were around through the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s *EXCEPT* KISS and Village People. Those two acts relied of *FUCKWITTED GIMMICKS AND HAD ZERO TALENT!*

18:02 Status Quo's "Down, Down"...... Status Quo *PROSTITUTED* themselves here in Australia about a decade ago by changing the lyrics of this song to fit a *PUTRID, FILTHY* TV ad for Coles supermarkets. For this, Status Quo *STAND CONDEMNED!*

This is such a great watch thank you too.

Danny Baker's Radio 1 show was sublime. Bannister was also smart enough to keep the legendary John Peel. For people in our twenties, Radio 1 became relevant and a massive influence on the Brit Pop Ziegeist of the mid-nineties. Now I'm an old fart, I have BBC Radio 6 Music and I'm happy leaving Radio 1 to the kids.

Radio 1 didn't matter when these ssckings were made, and it matters even less now. The DJs have become ever more anonymous/irrelevant as audiences have fragmented, and listening habits have changed.

The same has now happened to radio 2

Great dramatized documentary. Some poor bloke was once beaten up for LOOKING like Chris Evans, and that seems to sum up Chris Evans. Why is arrogance a selling-point? I don't get it. I listened to Tommy Vance / Fluff Freeman for rock, and Simon Bates / DLT / Gary Davies for pop and charts - none of them was noticeably egotistical. Chris Evans was a monster - he didn't BECOME a monster. Maybe that's why Trump has "fans" - weak-minded people see arrogance as a strength rather than a weakness.

Almost every one of those DJ's were Tosspots

Big holes in this story/doc and life moves on. The 80's era of DJs needed to be refreshed - different generations of music fans entirely.

"Nobody listens anymore, so we must have done something right!"

This sounds like a chapter from Alan Partridge's book

Richard Skinner, Janice Long and John Peel were the only ones I had time for.The rest described as dinosaurs were filled with the own over inflated egos and well represented by Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse.

Let's be honest there needed to changes at Radio 1. It should have been a gradual thing. The dance culture in the 80s took a long time to catch up with what was going on in the culture. Chris Morris, Stewart Lee and Mark and lard did some brilliant shows. If it was done over time and earlier it would have been better.

Radio 1 at the time was awful and needed a clearout - I think the mistake they made was not moving those dinosaur dj's to their natural succession home of Radio 2. That's what happens these days. I'm in my 50's now and Radio 1 isn't meant for me. All these people commenting that Radio 1 has gone downhill are probably my age or older and are missing the point - it's a youth station! It's not meant for you to listen to!! I realised watching this that I haven't listened to it for probably about 10 years or more, but that's fine - I'm not the target demographic! If you want to listen to Status Quo or music from the 80s, there are plenty of stations that cater for you!

Danny Baker ? 😂 oh please this shows the Hatchet man had no idea what he was doing shame .. Those legends treated like this

Trevor Dann is hilarious in so many ways.

Radio 1 breakfast show , then simon bates golden hour and your story , steve wright in the afternoon , fantastic days

I loved dlt.

Not sure that Adrian Juste's bitterness at being fired was that justified. He had a good run at R1,, and personally I never thought he was much cop anyway. A poor man's Kenny Everett.

4:37 - That building is not there anymore. Egton House, home to BBC Radio 1 from 1985 to 1996, before BBC Radio 1 moved to Yalding House. Today is now the Peel wing, where The One Show is produced from.

People who moan that BBC Radio is terrible today need to realise the issue here - the audience for radio stations get older, as do their presenters. Change has to happen, otherwise we will be left with a bunch of 90 year olds playing pop songs on BBC Radio 1.

It's pure delight of clean solid comedy it's really funny n witty thanks for uploading it 😄 😊 ☺️ 😘 🙂

Some great videos on this channel.

I miss Jimmy Saville and Davy Lee Travis

I once had Simon Bates sit next to me on a crowded train from London. Was a rude pig of a man, upset everyone, kicked the man opposite under the table, noisely eat a panini and left mess everywhere. Got off at Guildford!

Either in jail for the 1970s foolery or dead?

Honestly, disc jockeys?! People that play records that they've been told to play and payed fortunes. You couldn't make it up.

bannister did the right thing. it literally was a "who moved my cheese?" exercise. adrian juste was deluded. probably still is.

Get rid of all the pointless DJs and get some AI simply playing music.

Didn't Evans do a show on R1 sunday lunch, late 80s early 90s called Too Much Gravy?? Or did I dream that??

Steve Wright's show in the afternoon, mid to late 80s, was for my money the best UK radio show ever

What a total bunch of well forgotton knob heads

Just play some records ffs. Egos out of control, half of them were paedos or nut jobs.

I was fucked off when radio one started changing but Liam was right "has beens shouldn't present awards to gonna be's" music belongs to the youth and we had our day in the sun, the times they are changing

I loathed Adrian Juste with a passion. A deluded comic wannabe. Playing classic comedy records and inserting himself in them as if he wrote the sketches

I remember when this happened, total carnage. Apart from the late great john peel, i never listened to radio 1 ever again. Only steve wright kept radio 2 alive in later years.

In the grand scheme of things this shows just how shallow so much of the media world is. Over inflated egos abound.

I remember how they changed Radio 1 for the worst then Radio 2 years later,the way some great DJs were treated by the BBC was terrible.I no longer listen to BBC radio.

BBC radio never learn do they?

Unpopular as he is, I grew to love Danny Baker’s show. Good to know DLT felt uncomfortable. Cheered me up

Many of them were like that - indeed, that was the idea… you did all that so you got favours. That was the point. That’s why you did it. It wasn't just for the twatty, pointless pop tunes. “Favours” were what it was all about. You could have the same as The Great Unwashed, only more easily. Or else you could get what ordinary people found harder to get hold of. You know what I mean….

I missed Simon Bates when he left, but Radio 1 had to change and move on from the Happy Happy Sound era, but I think they could have done it more smoother, I think it was awful how they just got rid of DJs who had served the station well over the years!
