Nice piece from (former?) TS producer:
http://www.masterton.co.uk/2009/11/champagne-and-roses/
One evening I came across a blatantly piss-taking email which read:
“Pls say hello to Mary. She fell down the stairs. I love her so”.
I handed it to Gerald as an example of some of the dafter things that would come through. Next thing I knew he was reading it out verbatim and promising a huge bunch of flowers for poor Mary to help cheer her up from her accident.

Champagne and Roses was a genuinely bizarre piece of radio.

Re: Gerald Harper
It was unusual for many reasons though perhaps mainly because it played (very old) records on a speech-based station.

Her cunt probably had a median age of 500 however. Calm down. A pretty face not necessarily equates to a pristine slit.caveman wrote:just think when he was 72 he was having sex with this woman aged 29

Re: Gerald Harper
It's genuinely my favourite talksport show. Superb stuff but a bit strange for a talk radio station.Zippy wrote:

Yes I can just about remeber that he enjoyed waving his sword around in those days as Adam Adamant which he obviously carried on with great gusto into later lifedelboy1983 wrote:He was Adam Adamant with super powers and a massive cockcaveman wrote:just think when he was 72 he was having sex with this woman aged 29

Re: Gerald Harper
The best bit was when Adrian Durham winding up the show before, his usual Neanderthal phone-in, had to trail Gerald and tell us to be sure not to miss it, trying to retain the listeners.
I may be wrong but I think Parry was station controller at the time and he commissioned it.

Re: Gerald Harper
Yeah could have been. It had been a success years before somewhere else, BBC ?
