Yes, Mr angry and his "I pay my license fee" rant made me chuckle all the time

Ah yes, remember going to see that 1 amongst the huge crowds it attracted
I saw him at the radio one roadshow on the wish tower slopes in Eastbourne in the late 80's. I was picked to do bits and pieces, came 3rd.

You can find a lot of the 80's and 90's afternoon shows on YouTube. I still listen to them to this day. Reminds me of helping my Dad (Painter & Decorator) when I was a teenage in the early to late 80's.
RIP Wrighty.

The two hairdressers in the salon where I used to go to as a teenager in the 80s were openly gay and used to laugh along to Gervais.Loved Gervais The Hairdresser, probably would be deemed Un PC now
RIP
Shocking news, loved him on one and Two RIP Steve 
A cultural part of my late teenage years gone. RIP Steve, and thank you.

Not many radio programmes I've ever made an effort to make sure I heard but his was one when I was growing up. Used to love the pretentious music journalist, Arnie and his uzi 9mm and of course Mr Angry

The passing away of anyone is incredibly sad. And thoughts go out to immediate family members.
I was not a fan of his radio show and would avoid most of the input he played. My memory of him back in the eighties was that as a radio presenter he was excruciatingly bad-singing over tracks and fading out songs well before they had finished.

Is this an authorized RIP?
The US comedian calls himself Steven Wright with an "n" on the end of Steve. But he is a "dead"pan style comedian.
A true legend of the airwaves. Gutted.

Your support is not that great
I would have seen you. I was in the front row. You weren’t the guy who gave his name as Arthur Ritis were you?

Agree with your first two sentences. I thought he had terrible taste in music and made shows about him instead of the artists.
However, he was FUNNY. Kept me listening as a kid as I was hoping the end of a faded out “straight in at number three” or hideously schmaltzy love song would yield Mr Angry or Voice Over Man. The bloke just made me giggle.
Judging from the immediate reaction on BBC Radio he was a lovely feller too.
A touching tribute, with an incorrect use of the word ‘input’ to boot.
