Look at Batesey- reckons he's some kind of big player by ringing up his Public Relations mates each morning...

What about real stuff happening around that time, like Acid House? He had no idea...idiot.

[FreakyStyleydotnet]

Fucking hell, I was at that Steve Wright Roadshow!

[readtherightbooks]

this documentary could be subtitled

Why Acid House HAD to Happen.

Still *somebody* knew what was going on, check the camera's brief hold on the BEAT DIS sticker on the fridge in the background.

[pingtran]

why were they so many old farts on Radio 1 then?

[RobinCarmody]

Essentially, it was because those at the top of the BBC until about 1993 - coincidentally enough - knew nothing of any kind of popular music.

This is one thing we can thank John Birt for.
