    Found this as I just read about Jimmy Young's death. Great to hear it again - Wogan and Young were the sound of my childhood. What's extraordinary is that 22 March 1978 was my 10th birthday!

    Takes me right back - the days before breakast tv we always listened to Wogan before heading to school. Most of the kids in my class listened to radio 1 but our house was always 2. Only heard Jimmy Young during holidays or when off sick (or pulling a sickie mostly)

      I agree radio 2 has gone downhill since the 1990s where pop music like radio 1 now plays only difference is a few years earlier pop the real music with light orchestra music is missed

    There was a track that Terry Wogan used to play c.78-80 that I've been trying to find for years but to no avail. It was a synthesiser piece, kind of Vangelis like but not him (nor JMJ). If anyone has any idea what it was please let me know

    Any idea when Ray Moore hosted the early breakfast show? This is 1978 yet apparently incorrectly on wikipedia it says he hosted it from 1980-88. Many thanks for uploading such wonderful memories.

    • @robalexander8065
      @robalexander8065 5 лет назад

      According to BBC Genome, Ray Moore was the host of The Early Show from January to June 1978. He was replaced by Richard Vaughan, Tony Brandon, David Allan and Steve Jones between July 78 and 7th March 1980. Ray Moore began his longest stint as host on Monday 10th March 1980.
