Steve Wright in the Afternoon clips 1989 

RIP Steve. I remember listening to his radio shows back in the 1980s to the present day. Brilliant and as has already been commented. No internet, no mobiles, no social media, absolute heaven. The good old days of a much much simpler life never to return. So sad but so glad I lived my 20s through that period of history. Thanks for the memories Steve.

Steve Wright RIP😢 I remember my late teens in the late 80s, working a crappy job in a factory.. Steve was the only thing that got me through the day 😊

Factoid: Steve Wright brightened up many a dull weekday afternoon for me in the office in the early 1990's with the banter, jingles, tunes, factoids and array of zany characters / impressions, plus he introduced me to the work of The Jerky Boys too - well worth checking out. Loved Sid The Manager and Phil Cornwell doing Mick Jagger and Bowie. No doubt he brightened up many other peoples otherwise dreary working days too. RIP Steve.

Those were the days no covid then no Facebook no phones no twitter heaven

Part of my childhood has gone. Mick, David Bowie & Elvis calling Steve in the afternoon were highlights of radio in the 80s!!

If there is an afterlife. lots of laughter on the way . Thank you, Later Steve.🌹

Phil Cornwell doing Mick Jagger and Keith 🤣🤣🤣, Pretentious Music Journalist, Mr Mad, Mr Angry, Diamond Geezer, Sid the manager, Mr Spoons, who was the camp character ? RIP Steve, you made my 80's afternoons in work tolerable ❤

I loved all the characters on Steve Wright in the afternoon in the 80s.....3pm. R.I.P.

Spent 4 years at university listening to this. Still got a 2.1😊

My late father almost fell off his ladder whilst painting many times laughing to Steve Wright!

One of my faves from Steve “ Don’t forget if you’re driving….take the car “

RIP Wrighty. Great memories as a teenager.

A workmate of mine used to bring cassette recordings in of Mr Mad, funny as fook. Steve Wright was awesome.

Brilliant stuff, I've been listening to as much of ole Steve Wright in the afternoon that I can find on youtube, popping it all on a long playlist & driving along to it. So inventive, the silly jingles, nutty charachters, silly noise played over records, mis pronoucing words on purpose, the posse, Mr Angry, Sid the manager & Damien the social worker. Even as he slowed down hi Radio 2 shows were still always something to look forward to on a long drive in the afternoon. Now it's all done, RIP Steve Wright, you were brill! (That's wright!)

I left school in 89 and had my first job in textile warehouse, UPON DISCOVERING THIS show I realised it just extended my days a bit longer until I was in a position to walk out to something better! funny as fook back in the day

Great show great memories - loved Mick and Keith and especially the pervy who used to crack me up! Thanks to whoever posted this!

Steve Wright in the afternoon on radio 1 reminds me of my younger days. Were have the years gone.....

The Mick Jagger used to totally crack me up. Listening to this again after all the years, it still does. Would love to hear more Mick. There were some Mick appearances on the show when he would try to talk backwards. Now if someone can upload that, I will be in hyterics............ ROFL

RIP Steve Wright. An absolute class act. Fond memories of the 80`s.

God bless Steve. legend RIP

"Ravin' mad" made me laugh! I'd forgotten how funny it all was.

Wrightey on afternoons on radio 1 was jus superb,the characters etc awesome

They should rerelease lots of his shows still brilliant today ...love mick jaggar and Sid

RIP Steve Wonderful man.....Hes shows were brilliant xx

RIP Steve you legend

There simply was nobody like him on the radio. It was totally different to everyone else. Excellent music and top guests but even more to me, were the bonkers of the characters and sketches. Hilarious. BBC treated you badly in the end, just to virtue signal and tick a box. You were one of a kind. Condolences to your family. RIP Steve and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the joy you brought to so many of us from when we were teenagers in the 80s who grew up with you into the seriousness of adult life.

Fond farewell to Mr Angry and Gervais . Thanks for the laughs rip Steve Wright in the afternoon

The only time I listened to radio one was in the 80s I loved the Steve Wright show it was similar to the Kenny everot show both very funny people

I loved the Steve Wright show, enjoyable late afternoon listening

I loved all these Characters, I would be in hysterics!

Had it on back in 80s when I worked in a garage loved it

Best character was Mr Mad, without a doubt. Hilarious.

RIP Steve, what a loss, huge part of my life. Thank you for these clips

🙌 my early days in the workplace back in 1989 consisted of Steve and he became must listen to no matter what. I’m not surprised the ridiculously dumb bbc haven’t made these available,you can’t even listen to his radio 2 stuff

Rip Steve wright

Great !

BRILLIANT radio , can't believe it's all that time ago, seems like yesterday.

Mr Mad is GREAT: Living in that silver thing at Elephant & Castle! lolololol!

This is all I can remember of my first year at Uni in 1983.

He's another one. Raving mad. Nearly crashed the car laughing at this on the A27.

I had to chuckle at this as I was sucking my elbow at the time.

bring back mick

Classic radio!

The brilliant Phil Cornwall doing mick jagger

Who did the Jagger impression? Always loved this show. Only really listened to it during the summer holidays

Remember the weeping Mary Decker, I think she fell over her shoelaces in a running race or something like that

Mr spoons. Mr Mad Mr Angry Lama Man There was also character from Northern Ireland Sid the Manager . Absolutely brilliant good quality radio sadly missed.

|Anyone remember when he had listeners doing a silly dance, added a new part on each day, when he added the King Tut Strut, my workmates and myself nearly fell over laughing. He got us through long boring afternoons at Frank Birds Chicken Factory and yes, the owners name really was Frank Bird.

Ooh lovely to hear my fave band being mentioned - I was just thinking I wondered what The Who had been up to at that time, and then he mentioned them! I hope Roger Daltrey DID complain about the zimmer frame comment! 😉

5:56 love this bit

I loved when the ice cream van came! 🤣🤣🤣

Mr Mad was or is Peter Dickson, the voice of the X Factor.....not a lot a people know that!

Ah when the world was normal

Made the radio worth listening too unlike mills

The 0898 number sketches....rotarians....

Is that Simon Mayo with his handbag full of marbles on the left?

Catch you later Special lamas !!!

5: Tony Blackburn. 4. Chris Moyles. 3. Chris Evans. 2. Steve Wright *close second 1. Kenny Everett.

EEzz mad...

What's happening this evening Happening?

Just heard Steve is leaving BBC after 24 years.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂no more to say

When radio was king, sadly nowadays the woke brigade wouldn't allow it as it would offend snowflakes!

Please get rid of the weather and traffic clips and re-post, thanks!! No pub singer? (Diamond Geezer sounds like young Jamie Oliver)

days before culture wars and identity politics

Whatever happened to the pretentious music journalist ? Rave on !

Radio 1 definitely needed a shake up so embarrassing. Such a Kenny Everett rip off.
