So, yeah, we all know Blue Jam, and depending on our student years we can probably remember when we first heard The Mary Whitehouse Experience and/or Lee and Herring on "The Nation's Favourite". But there was a shit-tonne more of these, right? Did Simon Munnery have a show at one point? My memory seems convinced that the first time I ever heard both Lamb and Skunk Anansie was on a Radio 1 show hosted by Greg Proops. Did I hallucinate this? Who else held it down on 97.7 to 99.7 in the mid 90s from the world of comedy?

You mean they haven't already given the Mighty Boosh a guest slot?!

I think Greg Proops used to fill in for Mark Radcliffe sometimes when he had his evening slot. But I might be imagining this.

Simon Munnery facts: Simon Munnery programmed the Spectrum conversion of Asteroids, a game described by Llamasoft icon Jeff Minter as "a load of wank".

Chris Morris, of course, with the Heseltine and Savile scares - Wednesday 9-10 pm in the mid-nineties (Blue Jam came later).
Also proto-Poptimist imported pirate show Radio Tip Top featuring Kid Tempo and the Ginger Prince.

I think that Tory Juste was given his books long before the mid-nineties.

I remember the Alan Parker show vaguely, lots of 'we're going to talk about the issyoooos' type stuff. I'm sure I found it funny at the time, though that could be my memory playing tricks on me.
