(dunelm61) In 1986 BBC Radio 1 made a series of DJ profiles called Radio Radio, one of the them was devoted to John.
Vintage clips include Russ “Weird Beard” Knight on KLIF, Peel on Kat's Karavan, KOMA (as Beatles and UK music specialist), Perfumed Garden and Top Gear, as well as Pig playing ‘Abide With Me’ on a hurdy-gurdy.
File 1 was abridged, cutting out the Beatles and Hollies segments and the more controversial elements of John's lookback at his first marriage. Perhaps this was from a later repeat, for example on 6Music.
