I first began broadcasting for BFBS in 1985, doing a programme called 'Black And Blues'. Every broadcaster wanted to work at the station. BFBS was able to choose the very best, and did. So it felt like a big honour.
Since then, I've done many different styles of programmes for BFBS, including two three-month stints on the daily magazine show 'BFBS UK', to a series of live political phone-ins (if you can believe it) during the last election, with Douglas Hurd, Neil Kinnock etc.
I recorded the shows in Chalfont Grove on Friday afternoon. They were then loaded into various tape banks and whizzed around the globe via satellite. The music mix was very similar to that on Radio 2.
