Never been able to bring myself to listen to the Presenters Graveyard that is Radio 2, but my God they were funny on Radio 1!
I vividly remember their last ever show, me and a couple of mates listening along as we drove down for a late afternoon/evening ride in the FOD. Letting the silence drag on long enough at the end of the show to cue Radio 1’s auto play mechanism, which then ran 15 minutes into the next show, was brilliantly funny!
I had pretty moist eyes at the end of that last show, grew up with M&L and though it was pretty repetitive that’s so much of what made them great.
Don’t understand how the BBC could drop the radio equivalent of Morcambe & Wise while keeping the halfwit bully that is Moles and the vacant, squaking ,harpy Sara Cox.
Loved ’em but somehow (wonder if this is also reflected in the non-likers above*) our friends south of the Watford gap really did not connect with them at all?
Blimey, North/South bias when it comes to DJ’s. I’m from London, absolutely loved them and stopped listening to radio 1, the second their last show finished.
Even saw them on their Shire horses tour at the London Astoria. Though having Dick the buttock Scruttock on stage was off putting.
I loved their show, fat Harry puts in the odd appearance on the iPod shuffle. Comedy is always good when on shuffle. I’ve got a load of billy Connolly, genius when the track ends and the next one starts “the casual vomit….”
Oh God, I loved M&L, funniest thing on radio or tv. Slim and Shady used to make me cry with laughing, literally. Once out driving back from a client I had to find a pull-in ‘cos I was laughing so much I couldn’t see the road!
Stop!
Carry on…
I have 6 on at work, and I usually have Radcliffe and Maconie on, and they really crease me up as well.
That fat **** Moyles, on the other hand…
Anyone got a baseball bat or a crowbar?
