Broadcast when BBC Radio 1's new controller was merrily axing half of his star presenters for being too old and stuffy for a pop station, the most effective parts of this show are the thinly disguised reminders of British DJs' most embarrassing moments. At times it's more cruel than funny, and Enfield later apologised for his parody of Tony Blackburn's marital breakdown, which a distraught Blackburn shared with listeners in the 1970s.

I remember well the birth of radio 1 and how the DJ's of that era became more famous than their true talent ever really warranted. The ego, name dropping and self publicity was totally shameless. What Enfield and Whitehouse achieve here is a superbly made and well deserved re-balancing of the books. The more you remember of of the 60's to 90's radio 1 the more you'll see it's relevance. The script and acting is out of this world and I'm currently trying to source this on DVD. I have a very old VHS copy of this but would panic if it ever got lost or the the tape broke :)) Check out cable TV schedules, this is a not to be missed Mickey take of the very very highest order. Well done guys, it's right up there with Norbert Smith - A Life.

I just remembered this line whilst watching a drama series that had a very similar situation. So incredibly funny and fantastically written by the chaps at the top of their game. Enfield is dreadfully underused these days. His writing and acting is now sadly overlooked. Nineties comedy and it's writing is becoming forgotten. It was such a rich seam, a perfect storm and whatever other platitude you can think of. This exemplifies how good artists, producers, writers, directors and ensemble casts bro g together such good comedy. Whitehouse is now being himself and reappraising his success. Never a bad thing. This is so great and needs protecting! Thankyou BBC archive for letting it be available via YouTube. DANIEL?
