Giant Superbeings Really
Greg James heads deep into the 成人快手 archives to deliver a selection of prime audio, using stories of the week as his launch-pad, along with requests and challenges from listeners.
Greg James, host of the Radio 1 Breakfast show and self-confessed 'proud radio nerd', uses his access-all-areas pass to the 成人快手 Archives to track down audio gems, using listener requests, overlooked anniversaries and current stories as a springboard into the vast vaults of past programmes.
60 years ago this week, the Rolling Stones played their first ever gig, so Greg finds some of their less than rock 鈥榥 roll moments in the archive. Anyone for a poached egg and glass of milk?
A listener request sends Greg into the strange and, frankly, disturbing world of public information films. We receive some advice from PC Dixon of Dock Green, learn how London buses work and discover the dangers that can befall cartoon cats.
In honour of the women鈥檚 test match this week we hear from some of the cricketing greats, including those who played the first women鈥檚 test match in 1934.
A Star Wars-inspired violinist makes a return to the 成人快手 after 40 years and tells Greg about the influence his incomprehensible 8th birthday party had on his career.
And - did Kate Bush call in to Alan Partridge鈥檚 radio show Norfolk Nights 20 years ago? We鈥檒l let you decide.
Producer: Tim Bano
