Jimmy Young - BBC Radio 2 - 18 February 1985 

And he was still in his prime because he lived a further 14 years after they fired him.

@@notused. Thanks for replying to me. As a proffessional entertainer, I recorded over 8 albums, and 3 double albums. When I went onto radio , a guy in the Midlands, managed bands, got my show on so many other radio stations. We had massive stars doing "Phone Ins" I had started as "THE PIRATE RADIO SHOW" Laser 558, Caroline, and Radio London, with hundreds of origional jingles, and I was told that I got, on the computed screen, that I had over 15 million worldwide. If you would like, free of charge, give me a contact address, and I will some to you. I am listening to Jim now, thanks to you. NIGHT NIGHT.

On of The Best his like will never be seen again what replaced him is an absolute Idiot

I don't listen often to Radio 2since Sir Jimmy Young left its not the same

@@williamjamieson1029 I agree. 12-2 was a highlight every day when he was on.

I agree, well said.

Good line up then, wogan next jy then David Jacobs followed by David Hamilton. I think the afternoon was finished with Ed Stewart, could be wrong this line up was probably 83/84 .

​@@leesmith8366 He literally said thanks to Ken Bruce.

He's actually British.

An absolute idiot

Be fair, Jimmy had been on BBC Radio from 1967 to 2002, they didn't exactly treat him bad by employing him for 35 years!!

You may very well think that. You could hardly be more wrong.

This makes me smile so much because it reminds me of my nan. We listened to JY every day. Even in the 1980’s my nan called the radio the wireless ❤

He is a idiot

Town Talk by Ken Woodman.

@Robert Bass Yes I do agree.Rather have radio than television.Oh I forgot to include Johnnie Walker...more to follow I imagine.

I totally agree my friend...I has now become overpowering.. Destroying a GREAT service!

It's Town Talk by Ken Woodman & his Piccadilly Brass ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T7J6evZ55OY.html

@@RandomRadioJottings Thanks very much. I must have listened to it hundreds of times when I was very young in the 80s.

Im so glad I found that theme tune. Thank you so much. This reminds me very much of my grandma. She always had radio 2 on in the kitchen. She loved the jimmy young program and I loved it cause I did. So when this particular episode was broadcast I was 7, due to turn 8 in May that year. This would have been February half term so I wonder if we were listening to it together that day?

@@ajs41 me too. My grandma had radio 2 on in the car or the kitchen so I got to listen to it loads. I listen to radio to myself when I am working from home and I’ve got to say that it has gone downhill so much since these good old days. As soon as Ken Bruce leaves radio two, and if Gary Davies is next to be kicked out then that’s me and radio two finished. Bring back the good old days.

@@RandomRadioJottingssounds like the beach boys!!
