North vs South. Battle of the egos

David Coleman was SO FUNNY 😂

Jonathan have screamed back at David Coleman 1-0!!!

And that Roy Harper song… wow

No I dont

0:52 - 1:23 - genuinely affecting.

There was a producer of the John Peel show before John Walters when bands like Free and Slade did live sessions which John rightly claimed sounded better that their records did. And although I don’t remember the name of Walters’ predecessor, I do recall Peel expressing such disappointment at the departure of that producer that he claimed he’d dedicate every show from there on to that said producer. But his relationship with Walters clearly became close enough for Peel to eventually put that disappointment behind him.

Ifi was the camera man i would have dropped him

What a beautiful man Spike was. You can see the torment behind him but what a great soul.

Eeeeeeeerrrrrr remarkable.

Definitely not the commentary FIFA provided. Original commentary by Martin Tyler

That’s my dads name 🤨

john peel didn't live on much longer after john walters

We love you, Kenneth

Sadly a lot of TV personalities are completely different off camera. When the camera is rolling, it’s all smiles and happy presentation, but off camera, a lot of them have a large ego and can treat runners in the studio like s***. I’ve had my experience with a few over the years. Sadly this wasn’t a one off for David either.

Two class acts.

Moan, moan, moan!😠

Worst video title ever. And the description is just bollocks

Tbh he sounds like he’s shouting at the director who appears to be instructing the vision mixer to flip between cameras, thus disorientating the presenter.

Worked as FM on many football matches with Brian Moor, a very pleasant man and I'm proud to have worked with him on ITV football.

Just Great

Sixteen years now, and I still miss hearing John Peel's voice on the radio. He was always there, playing tracks new and old and sometimes obscure. He was a fixture, he was a legend, he was always going to be there. And then he was gone. Leaving a void that no-one else could possibly fill. I treasure the old cassettes I recorded his shows on. One day I might even upload the shows, although the tapes of some of them are decaying with age. Farewell John Peel, still missed after all these years.

Peel Attenborough and my dad. The only three men I needed in my life.

Didn't even know this existed. Great stuff..Walters and Peel changed the world for a lot of people...me inclusive. RIP Thanks for the upload

Evidently John Walter's wife sold his record collection to a well known record shop in London. I was fortunate enough to acquire many 60's gems as a result. The man was pure class!!

A bully pure and simple. Brian Moore makes a remark in his autobiography which leaves you in no doubt that he may have admired him as a broadcaster, but not as a man. People like Moore prove you can be polite and courteous and still get to the top of your profession.

Having read the previous comments I can confirm that it is David Coleman speaking. He was highly thought of as a commentator within the BBC and I note others on here would disagree. I worked with him in the early '70s and he always had a professional attitude and in fairness, expected the same of others in production and the crew. One sidelight to his character. I was doing a documentary in Italy with a rather unpleasant production who treated their crew as idiot button pushers who got in the way of them having a nice time interviewing their friends. We bumped into David Coleman in the lift of the Rome Hilton and he immediately recognised the sound recordist and greeted him warmly, he went on to tell the production folk that he was a brilliant sound guy who saved the Grand National broadcast one year and they were lucky to be working with one of the best! Total silence from the production mob but a welcome interlude, smiles all round the crew!

Just loved Jenny in the 70s on capital radio.

Kenny Everette Was my hero and my idol growing up he is sadly missed RIP my friend

If I'd been the cameraman I'd have chinned him.

This discussion could've gone on for hours and would've been great all the way through

Complete twat

awful

I would imagine that during the war and through his jazz career, Spike formed more genuine relationships with people of colour than most liberals will ever make in their long, sanctimonious lives.

People call any old bore a 'character' these days but Walters was a brilliant character, great double act him and Peel. Two men from from a completely different era championing new relevant music. Hope you went to the great gig in the sky to the accompaniment of the mingle mangle music, sir!

Thank you. I'm currently researching Kenny for (what I hope will be) a series of articles, so it's great to find these radio snippets of the Kuddly One, and not only that, but I think you did a great job of finding images to go with the sounds.

He was definately a one off was Our Ken- and thank gooodness he was ! X

I used to take hours editing all my cassettes of his shows back in the 70's taking his voice out! If only I'd known then what I know now it would have been they other way round!

As a long time Nottingham resident, but not native, I find his comments on East Midlands people interesting. :)

Who to hell is this nut talking?

MrMegamasterplan2 - Can't see if anyone else answered for you, but the photo at 02:21 is of George Orwell.

A radio genius, a one-man genre

Heard the first part of this while driving home from work in 1996. It was well worth the 19 year wait to hear the rest of it. Thank you !

One day we all become pictures.

Missing you both.

Listening to John's voice is like stepping back in time. The days when life was good but I just didn't realise. Music was everything and he brought joy and new musical experiences that I probably wouldn't ever have had. Love you Mr Peel ♡

how did russel brand get in there was he born"????

And to think that this bad-tempered bozo was supposed to be the replacement for Kenneth Wolstenhome.

I just listened to the whole interview on BBCR4 EX. It seems Spike spent his life in a battle between looking out and looking in. He seemed to want perfection outside without accepting his own imperfection. Eventually, he realized this fact. I imagine he was eventually at peace.

I think from the early 1970s he wanted to get out of presenting and commentating on other sports and concentrate on Athletics commentary full time for the BBC. It was from 1984 on before he was able to concentrate on Athletics full time. The initial time he left the BBC in 1973 and returned in 1974 (his best performance as a BBC presenter was in the 1972 Olympics when he had to change into news mode when terrorists attacked the Olympic village and took the Israeli team hostage and had to keep the nation updated on the situation in the Olympic village throughout most of that night and into the following day). This did throughout the 1970s lead to interest and several approaches from both ITV and the American networks in his services which led to him leaving for the second time in 1977 and returned in 1978 until his retirement in 2000
