epic 8 minutes

My first mobile in 2003

I had this Phone in 2004. Its unique

Happy days❤

Maybe he should go to the sinking Radio 2 take over the late great Steve Wright slot.

What ever happen to Simon Bates? He also used to be on Smooth Radio then gone.

I remember as an impressionable 17 working on building sites around 1991 as an apprentice and listening to this sentimental guff. Bloody lapped it up.

Each time you'd listen to the this, no matter what you had going on, you were happy with your life 😂

Great days...when Radio 1 was Great

Nowadays she’d be arrested for not facilitating and enabling his battyism. The social would take the kids off her homophobic ass and let them go and live with the arse cosmonaut. Despite the fact he was violent, She’d be arrested for thought crimes against the sodomites

Wow just brings back memories for me, I could always remember the song but could never remember why or from what but now I remember ❤ I was young in my defence haha

Back in the day when Radio 1 was worth listening to. Unlike today where we have so called presenters who love the sound of their own voice and their heads way up their own arses. Grimshaw was one of them, I mean what the fuck was that guy on the radio for? I’ve more talent in my left bollock than that clown.

What is the music in the background?

I loved to lissen to our tune some of them were very sad

What a load of rubbish

I remember my older brothers and father used to have Simon Bates on the radio in the 1980s when we would get up to go to school etc. As clear as yesterday I remember hearing Queen's Radio Gaga one cold dark Winter's morning. It was SO depressing. He used to have a segment where he would play sad music (found out here it's call OUR TUNE) and talk over it about a life of a listener etc. Wouldn't go back to those days for anything.

Very sad story. I wonder what happened to this woman who went through so much emotional heartbreak 💔 😢

It's took me years.. I always thought it was called love in the afternoon... Takes me back to 1985..

Very similiar to a peter kay car share episode story. 😂😂. Sad to hear about Steve Wright yesterday. Used to listen to this and steve Wright in the afternoon in the 80s.

Loved our tune. Whenever you heard the theme tune come on at work we all stopped to listen. A room full of big burly men were mostly misty eyed after listening. Brings back great memories

Steve Wright was top draw

Did this used to be on about 8am of a morning weekdays . I recall the music and listening to it in the back of the car on the way to school with my brothers

Rip Steven thanks for the memories..

I remember these being broadcast in the late evenings, not in the afternoons as some are claiming here?

1990 through 1992, servicing our Army landrovers and tucks listened to these every day 10 oclock on RAF Brize Norton. Im royal Signals (244 sig)

I loved this every day some were happy some sad I actually used to cry with some I wish it would come back.

My pal Chris loves him ❤👍🏼

I had this phone

It’s amazing how much has changed in 20 years. This is pure Alan Partridge

Went to London in summer 1990 to earn some money as I was studying electronics in college. Got a job in Kevlins, Bradmore Park Road, Hammersmith; fixing and refurbing Hoover washing machines and vacuums. Loved the job and the crew I worked with. A battered Hitachi radio-cassette in the workshop was permanently tuned to BBC R1 and I always listened to 'Our Tune' - hearing the background music and Simon's narration really brings back the memories of that summer job. Revisited the old workshop in 2017 and I recognised the building - now converted to high end apartments.

I used to listen to Our Tune every morning before I went to school with my Mum.

If you listen at 0.75 speed it’s even better 😊

This blast from the past takes me back to the start and I want to go back....do it all again, perhaps a little better.

So glad the baby arrived. Thank God. All these years after the story was broadcast, I hope mother and now grown-up kids are thriving. No feelings for the father.

What a blast from the past and that background music takes me back there literally ha ha

Takes me back to the early eighties.

Used to listen to this in bed always made me sad

what was this piece of music called please anyone

💔. Look at that has happened 🧠💪2023 🤮

My gran use to listen to this I was a wee boy that was plsying about but I always like the tune it was plsying as since she died in June in 2022 I've been looking up films songs my gran would listen too she also lived Anne get your gun and calamity Jane. Also this story very sad think the man was selfish doing that to her when he knew he was bisexsul he ripped that poor women's heart out 😭

All the nurses knew.. days before GDPR.

She was revolted....lol, bit homophobic.

Pure nostalgia

I remember working in a factory when this was on, good times.

Simon Bates class brilliant best DJ ever needs to come back on national radio please

I remember whilst working on building sites back in the day when this came on the radio all tools were downed and everyone listened. It was funny if someone wasn’t interested and carried on working they were truly scorned upon. Good days….

This tune does take u back.............pulls at the old heart strings a bit..............as if time has not passed........

Use to love this! childhood memories.

Listened to him on 210FM (Reading).

In the otherwise cheery days of Maggie's Britain we sure did enjoy our daily dose of gloom.
