1973: DJ DAVID v GOLIATH | Nationwide | Weird and Wonderful | BBC Archive
Ойын-сауық
In one corner, it’s dinner-jacketed drumming DJ Frank Peacock, in the other, BBC pop personality Jimmy Young. Who would you rather spend your morning listening to?
It’s hardly a fair competition. Young straddles the British airwaves with his team of producers, Frank has his budgie help him pick out records to play in his garden. Jimmy has smoothly scripted radio patter, pensioner Frank has the pitter-patter of the drum set on which he plays along to the songs.
And as the final ignominy, Frank has to face off against the Bavarian brass band that play in the park opposite his garden. Come on, Frank! Get paradiddling!

I'm a carer and I've always wondered what we'll be listening to if we end up in a residential home. The Smiths - yeah! but hopefully not Joy Division. I never liked those miserable gits.

A fabulous report. When people were more human, more free thinking & imaginative, when we had free press and some very good politicians who could debate each other uninterrupted by sound bites. Whilst technology has improved, humanity has declined.

Can't argue with any of that. We now live in a society led by vacuous anti-social media, like a bull with a ring through it's nose, and useless self-important politicians who acquiesce to whatever fringe minority shouts the loudest. I'm so glad to be old enough to remember when it wasn't this way... 😞

Two wise commenters, as someone on the cusp of 40 I remember a pre mobile phone and internet existence, my generation is the last to experience the freedom that allowed.
Yeah it’s like the best of charity shop what Frank’s playing there!!!!
I miss Britain of the 20th century
The British excel at being eccentric
Frank was almost like a very early version of the excellent Boom Radio.
