The Real Tony Blackburn 

Peel was also a self confessed child abuser

John Peel when he was in America in 1965 married a 15yr old girl. He was 26.

@@jazztheglass6139 Claimed he did not know how old she was, right!

@@clivebaxter6354 in his autobiography he admitted carnal contact with school girls when he traveling the UK doing promotions in the music business. I listened to John peel when I was at school, he helped make a lot of bands famous. Finding out he had a vile secret life made me despise him

@@jazztheglass6139 I never knew that, filthy minger. Jerry Lee Lewis gave her away?

Happy with his new wife now, forget tessa wyatt ,

Correct, 100% spot on. I am 66 and have been listening to this man from the very onset. No voice ever became so appealing to me, and never once did his affability fall from my liking. I like his manner and love his silliness, knowing that behind it all is a very dear human being, someone that I would welcome as a personal friend, and yet he is a private chap at heart, and I court the very same sentiment. I am a former DJ, and started in the late 1960's doing shows on tapes that were shared with family and friends between 1970 and 2015. I did become a Broadcaster/Researcher with the BBC, but the point is that this man was the inspiration. The BBC even did a Biog on me that is on here (RU-vid) and on the BBC iPlayer; just seek Second Side Up. Thanks, Tony! Mark.

He's 80 now, trying to sound like he's 28. Both he and 'bbc' are living on borrowed time. You know he had sex with hundreds of females when he was much younger on Radio 1? (I f you're 'alcamus' then I'm Fred Astaire.)

Teflon

Awful saccharine man...sickly sweet. Posh boy masquerading as who knows what.

Same and he had Arnold the dog barking

He came from Guildford ... like me 😊

yet worshipped Savile!

He was always a cynical old grump about everything.

He was so vanilla back in the day for hip kids but he’s a good guy and not in jail so.

Jealousy shows itsself in so many ways

Peel had a bit of a thing , and rightly so about dj's who had no real interest in music

Peel was a fake. Fake name. Fake accent. Dubious morals. He probably didn’t like Blackburn because he was none of those things.

I've no control over the ads you see which I suspect vary depending on when and where you're viewing this.

Those ads are aimed specifically at you based on your own history!😂

The BBC is flat on its arse.

its called the British Biased Corporation now.........if they went anymore left theyd end up in the sea, best place for them!!

How much I agree with that - it's not a posh accent it's a normal proper diction clear speaking accent that doesn't confuse. Anyone who thinks it's posh is a lazy slovenly speaker who probably glottal stops every T and drops Hs and couldn't give a toss whether anyone understands them - which means they won't have anything worth listening to, to say. People who think Tony Blackburn talks posh has got a classist complex.

​@@theprior46 Poshish😂

@@paulbrookes413 Not even ish. It's all relative and governed by one's self-image in society. My guess is regarding TB as posh indicates a class complex

​@@theprior46 He went to a very privileged school - They don't let you leave unposhed 😂

@@paulbrookes413 This is a silly discussion it's all relative according to the dialect and class system you regard yourself as belonging to. I have a North London accent but my mother in law from Yorkshire regarded my accent as talking with a plu,m in my mouth which I resented strongly because my accent is nothing liek true "posh" hooray Henries" and Tony Blackburn didn't sound to me like Public School he was just normal decently spoken so I consider this argument dead now as it's pointless.

Liston every Saturday, love him, only listen to him,

i would bet my life on there being no scandal with Tony

No. He's too decent to get involved in anything like that.

Please seek professional help. Children around you are in danger.

Im sorry but thats just doesnt "add up"

I know ,he wasn't that great

@@romystumpy1197Peely was one of the greatest.

It all fell apart for him when tessa wyat started shagging Richard O'Sullivan 😂

Still sour

Peel crap

Peel the baffoon

If the last 10 minutes of this TV show is anything to go by, he was probably right

Caroline

Hey Joe, I’m looking for love to. With you????❤😊

Oops, i meant Jo! XXXXXXX 😅🤣😂🥰

I hope you found it 😄

I hope you find what you’re looking for babes xx

It will all come out after he dies.

It is ClifRichard Singular Bit plural Lol When will people get it right Call him Harry Webb if you are still unsure ehf

@@brigidsingleton1596 Oh sorry about that.. I really thought his surname had an S on the end.. and I never knew that his first name only had one F .. its actually the first time I ever seen Cliff spelled that way.. and I must have messed his name up really bad, because I never knew it was a two syllable name, I always thought his surname was separate.. But hey thanks for putting me to rights.. I would be lost without grammar assistance from kind folk ( or should that be folks ? ) like yourself lol

@@brigidsingleton1596 . . hello ?

Elton John is gay, it's not the same as being a paedophile.

Got a better wife after her, and tessa dad was Frank marker from public eye, alfred burke
