What is the best bit of radio you've ever heard?

[Jimmy Grimble]

Will Self v Richard Littlejohn wins hands down. For effect, when Reinelt scored against Hereford I slid across a wooden floor in my house at the time and tore both my knees open.

Bonchurch Road?

Them were the days

 

[Mr Banana]

Bonchurch Road?

Them were the days

Well, yeah.

Probably the worst days of my life, but yeah.

 

[Tooting Gull]

This beats EVERYTHING

Classic

'Two different versions'. Classic.

As an occasional Brazil listener, I'm not surprised. He's what the phrase 'dumbed-down' was invented for. I think they only keep Irani on now to make him look better.

I always console myself with the knowledge that when Brazil played for a really big club at Man Utd, he was sick in the changing room before every game and totally useless. Not a phase of his career you hear much mentioned, funnily enough.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Same.

I still have nightmares about 'Dirty Joe'

Randomly, the Noisettes performing "When you were young" by The Killers. Just wonderful

Brazil is an utter oaf.
I was listening to this on the way to work and nearly crashed laughing as him and Parry tried to dig their way out of it.

We've had the best TV shows, best films, best songs, so what about the best bit of radio?

I've got one or two I'm thinking of, one especially pertinent for tomorrow, but meanwhile, let's start with this chestnut...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/olmedia/cta/sport/programmes/tms/legover.ram

I love that clip. "Oh Aggers for goodness sake stop it"

I also vaguely remember from years back a local radio station reporting from a Sussex match came out with "..And Eddie Hemmings is out in the middle measuring his length"

 

[Mr Banana]

Same.

You know what, in our own ways, I'd like to think we both came out of a fairly f***ed up situation ok.

Or maybe I'm just dramatising it in my head.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Maynot be up there but well worth a mention is our own Harty, who had been on about the (lack of) skills of a player affectionatly known as 'Trolly'....and the next caller is....

I, like many, found a new respect for McCammon after that night.

 

[brakespear]

Whenever that German fellow (ashamedly, his name escapes me, possibly Henning something or other) is on 'Fighting Talk' but especially Christmas Day 2007, when I was half-pissed, putting together the Christmas Dinner

plus John Peel's 50th birthday concert plus the Friday Rock Show Top 20 Songs of All Time (caps, because it's Tommy Vance) until it went from 'heyyyy, class songs' to 'heyyy, Def Leppard again'

 

[The Large One]

The other piece of excellent albeit tragic radio - and pertinent to today, 20 years on, was Peter Jones describing the events as they unfolded at Hillsborough. How he kept going I'll never know.

This is some of it... http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/1215000/audio/_1217959_hills_jones_15apr89.ram

And his summing up/eulogy at the end will crack anyone up.

 

[The Large One]

There is, of course...

And Smith Must Score
And he hasn't
Bailey has saved

Well I think I'm OK now... I've still got CM 01/02 if you wanna' borrow it again

I remember that phone in. I've never heard Harty back track so much.

 

[shoreham moonraker]

baker and kelly was easily the best phone in of all time, still good now but not the same, this is one of the highlights of recent times, im sure you have all seen it, but just in case

Non footy related but this is one that always made me laugh, good to still hear them on Radio 7. Normally one you can here one on listen again;

BBC iPlayer - Comedy Catch Up: Hancock's Half Hour: Michelangelo 'Ancock

Best footy one has to be huddled around a phone at Loch Ness hearing Hawsey commentate on Palace 0 Brighton and Hove Albion 1. My sister recorded me the phone in on tape and I use to play it in my old car. Nearest I can find online is this, great dummy corner by Seb to start the clip.

[Wilka]

When Mark and Lard did Tubular bells on Radio 1 for every link for about an hour.

I used to love their show on Radio 1 apart from the music which they always took the piss out of anyway.
