steve wright in the afternoon was and is the best radio ever especially the charters like david bowie, Mr angry, Mr Mad etc.. In the 80s it used to cheer me up so much after a shit day in school. Thank god for steve wright in the afternoon.
morfamike, I agree: he had some fantastic characters. "Ello, Steve Wright in the Afternoon? Yes it's me again from Purley, Mr Angry! I WANNA WORD WIV YOU! I'm seethin'! That makes me so angry, I could SLAM THE PHONE DOWN!" Malcolm from the Arts Council, Gervaise (keep yer tongue out!), Sid the Manager (sign 'im up boy!"); brilliant!
Ahhhhh, back in the days when Steve's show wasn't as dull as a rainy Monday in Doncaster. Wish I could go back to the 80s when life seemed so much better.
Used to listen to this legend every day after school and university - even now I still do Dovid Bowie's "tell me what the British summer time is" and UZI 9 MILLIMETOOOOOORRRRRR! Such a legend. Thank you for the good times. ❤ RIP.
I vividly remember occassionally listening to the Steve Wright in the Afternoon show when it was actually air on BBC Radio 1, from 30th March 1981 to 24th December 1993. I always thought that Phil Cornwell's truly excellent impersonations of the likes of David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Michael Caine et al were just absolutely hilarious, especially when he usually interacted with Steve Wright who would often play it both completely straight and deadpan.
Phil Cornwell is brilliant as David Bowie, Sid the Manager, the Newsagent who was always guffing, scuse me, wwwhhaaarrrrrppppp, scuse me, Mick Jagger, I used to listen to this when I got my first job working at a petrol station, after I left school, in January 1988 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
happy days Mr angry and the rest 'back in the days before Steves show became very up its self and a drag 'back then the whole crew were in tears of laughter and so were we. then self hand clapping whistling and not much else big show...yep such a drag.
Couldn't agree more, my first job as a painter and decorator, (aged 17) listening to Steve Wright in the afternoon with all the different characters in it, brilliant, then he was reined in by the good ole bbc, now he's just a bland middle-of-the-road dj. What a waste...
Tell us what the temperature iiisssssssssssssssssssssssssss...............for Gawd's sake, play us another record Steve!!!! 🤣R.I.P. Steve you absolute legend of my youth!!
