I used to work nightshifts...always loved listening to the 5am start up jingles R1 played...Back in the day when it was a decent station to listen to.

I once got up at 5am to tape the startup jingles to cassette. Great memories of Radio 1 in the 80s.

Agree with you Richard, Simon Mayo's Breakfast show jingle is included and that didn't start until May 88. Unless it was added?
An alternate version of this start up montage used Tim Smith's name in place of Roger Scott's name, but was only used for a short time though.
