he announced on air that for the next 2 hours he was going to gift us all with 20 personal revelations. I can't remember them all, but the one that stuck in my memory, like a rogue pubic hair, was No 15: "I don't like the sensation of water on my skin."

very regular man,evacuated his bowles every morning at 6 o'clock. Problem was he didn't get up till 7.
I know,coat etc..

Bowles?

put my underpants on before I put my jeans on

Probably has a swing on the tyre in his enclosure.

He was a most unhappy hairy cornflake.

Once saw a bloke at a gig who had a large photo of DLT on his T-shirt. The writing around it said "Terminate with extreme prejudice".

near the knuckle for the timeslot and enormous audience, which I suppose was what the prog was all about - something for the kids something for the dads.

Two things I noticed from that episode 1)DLT at that time was basically doing a jimmy saville impression, one forgets how big a star JS was and his influence in mainstrean radio 1 culture, and 2) that pans people or whatever they were called at that time with Flick Colby's choreography were really quite good considering the throw away nature of TV at the time. No wonder they all loathe the association these days with the monster mash ... they weren't a joke at all.

...little known bit of trivia: Pan's People performed live with Jethro Tull and a string quartet during a little documented run of shows in 1974 (no film, no audio as far as I know). There's a photo of Ian Anderson posing with PP in rather risque T-shirts (no doubt someone will find it and post it below - I'm no good at the picture embedding stuff) and - better still - this studio recording of the piece they featured with, 'Pan Dance, which was later a track on the 'Ring Out Solstice Bells' EP.

...that's the one.

Photographer: "OK, I want all you tosspots, wankers, megalomaniacs, music haters, mentalists, censorship advocates and Tory endorsees to put on the silly hats provided. Meanwhile, the three coolest people in the room are excused headgear."

(with apologies to Paul Gambaccini and Tommy Vance who somehow ended up in the wrong section and really don't deserve such treatment).

....what an annoying, irritating man. I used to absolutely detest his comedy show and hyperactive blustering which seemed to go on for about ten hours on Saturdays. Awful, awful, awful.

the lure of the TOTP reruns but found myself in front of last weeks. I lasted that DLT introduction and 30 seconds of the woeful 'Jeans' and did something less boring instead.
I'll start watching again in 2025

Dave Lee Travis came up on the People You May Know section of my homepage a couple of days ago.

We have 3 mutual friends.

I don't know him, more's the pity.

I hope you "de-friended" those 3,Art ?
