Steve was the best DJ of all time, there is no-one who came close to him... What a complete legend to have made such huge contribution to so many millions of people for decades. For those of us who heard him from his first show on Radio 1, he just blew us away and it just got better and better. RIP Steve
I agree 100%. I listened to Steve from his early 1980's Radio 1 show till he left Radio 1. Put simply he was unique. He was funny but friendly and kind. Everett was Zany but didn't have the same connection with a radio audience which Steve did. God bless you Steve ❤
I used to work in a small flooring warehouse from 85 to 90 and we had a radio that played Radio1 all day long. Simon Bates Our Tune & Steve Wright in the afternoon was our working soundtrack every day. RIP and thanks for the memories.
I think every work place stopped work to listen to Simon Bates our tune and the sad story he portrayed on the radio. Steve Wright was definitely a one in a billion person
I was an Easter leaver from Halifax Catholic High school, this Easter 1985 and my first day at work was Tuesday 9th April for a small textiles company, Radio 1 was on all day Monday to Friday and the first time I ever heard Steve was the day after this broadcast the rest is quite literally history , RIP Steve . ❤
steve wright was the best! absolutely the best loved listening to his show growing up after school and after work finishing my early morning postman's round rushing home with a bottle of red wine pissing myself laughing in my bedroom! in-between the singing and dancing! to the best radio show ever! picked him up in my cab one night a few years ago didn't see him in the dark,i started speaking with him? i thought hold on i know that voice???couldn't make him out in the back off the cab, i asked the fellow not knowing it was him "so her what do you do for a living?" oh erm i work in broadcasting? what do you do then? "oh i work on the radio" what do you do you do on the radio? "oh i work on the bbc radio" what work do you do? "oh i have a show" what's your name??? "steve" PENNY DROPPING,ARE YOU STEVE F*CKING WRIGHT !!!!! "yeah" OH MY GOD IV GOT STEVE WRIGHT IN MY CAB STEVE STEVE I LOVE YOU I HAD THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE LISTERNING TO YOU!!! YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND! and he was! i'm so glad i was born in his era what a lovely man thank you steve for making me happy xxxx
Ive grown up with this genius DJ - still not comprehending hes GONE.😭💔 We had Kenny Everett in the 70's then we got Steve! A nicer more talented man you could not find on radio. I used to like 'Phil the fish filleter' 🤣😂😅 , the old woman and 'Ask Elvis' RIP Steve I expect you Terry and Jimmy Young will be entertaining them in Paradise! I'm 64 now and remembering these happy days fondly.
I remember my school work experience in the summer of 1990 and couldn't wait to listen to Steve Wright in the Afternoon. The weather was amazing and so was Steve and his posse
You are my broadcasting hero. You weren’t just a DJ you were a entertainer and a legend Steve Wright. Rest in peace Rise in Glory. I still haven’t got over the BBC chopping your show on Radio 1. I’ll never get over the news that you have died. Goodbye dear Friend. Xx ❤😂😢
I always tuned in to Steve Wright when driving around the country as a salesman. He was truly original and broke up the boredom of traffic jams and long drives. RIP, mate!
RIP Steve - this broadcast was exactly the same time that I started becoming an avid listener as I started my first job after leaving school. You made afternoons in the warehouse so much more bearable. A sad loss for the nation.
I remember being in hospital and Steve Wright in the Afternoon show was the highlight of the day, his shows were always witty, funny, and interesting, his music choices, as always sublime and the velvety tone to his voice give a sort of soothing continuity of reassurance. RIP Steve and thank you for everything x
There will never be another Steve Wright on the radio . He was definitely a one in a billion person. He will be missed greatly by many listeners of his shows.
I was a sales rep in the 80's charging around in my Vauxhall cavalier... Awful job but Steve's marvellous characters were hilarious and kept me sane - thank you Steve
The days of" being so angry we could throw the phone down" have gone...😢..so sad. First the phones (robust enough to throw down!) and now Steve. R.I.P. My best wishes to his family at this sad time. 😔 💔
Capital was great too. Dave Cash, Michael Apsel, Nikky Horne, Kenny Everett, Chris Tarrant. Tarrant was fantastic with Cara on the breakfast show.He was wasted on TV. Capital was great now a chav urban station for the tic toc generation. Any one else remember Adrian Just with his excellent comedey clips show?Saturday lunchtime on Radio One.And Alan Freeman Rock Show.Magic days.
So sorry to hear of the passing of Steve. Such a huge audience on R2 in the afternoon, then the BBC cruelly did the dirty on him. There are plenty of recordings of Steve so we will never be without him.
Steve, you touched the lives of so many people with your dulcet tones, quirky sense of humour and never ending quality music. You accompanied tens of thousands on many road trips and traffic jams, you made the day bearable. You will be forever missed my airwave friend.
At 4.0 minutes....Mr Angry 'someone says you're in stereo today; you're supposed to be in London, I suppose thats coming out of my licence fee...' absolute class....RIP Steve.
A genius and if radio was an art form he would be up there with the best if not the greatest of the airwaves.His shows always cheered people up and despite their off the cuff appearance were intricately planned and prepared by Steve.Thanks for the memories and RIP.
Ah Steve Wright in the Afternoon. I was only a casual listener in the mid 80's. But by the end of the 80's and Early 90's it was very much must listen to. 0898, Arnie, Lama Man, Taxi driver, so many others and one offs and such happy memories.
When I was younger I used to cut the DJ out and record the music. Now I’m older and know I can get the music from anywhere I wished I’d recorded bits in between the music.
BBC had the talent for a BBC gold station. Wright, Bruce ,Edmunds, Blackburn etc . Would be so listened to....or just a station with old programes from the past put together.So much better than we have now.
1985: 3 million unemployed, Miners strike ends, IRA bombings, football riots, Live Aid yet to happen, mobile phone just been launched in UK. Cheer up with Steve Wright in the afternoon.
Great memories steve..genius made it sound so easy...the work involved...Mr angry and sid 😂..cracked me up...what have we got now?...oh yeah..nothing!..r.i.p..steve..gazz
Mr Angry!!! Yes we used to tape Steve and listened to it back " Yes recorded it on tape " This man was a master at his trade and it seems the earlier DJs are much better than today "Tony Blackburn ect Rip
Radio 1 should have been on FM from the get-go - they played all the latest hits (plus the odd oldies), yet those idiots at the BBC kept it on medium wave for about twenty years, with only the occasional appearance on FM - weeknights at ten, Saturday between 1 and 7:30 pm, Sundays from 5 pm and on Bank Holiday Mondays on the frequency normally occupied by Radio 2!
That northern irish lady who laughs at her own not very amusing comments is extremely annoying. like why are you laughing? you didn't say anything funny! And she does it every time!
![Round The Horne! Series 3.1 [E1 to 6 Incl. Chapters] 1967 [High Quality]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2tw_-elSaJo/mqdefault.jpg)
They could replay his old shows and probably get more listeners than the present incumbents.
Abdolutly
now that steve's passed, i hope they start replaying the shows 🫡
You're so damn right about that. What a legend.
@@absol_puppeteerI certainly hope so too.
I wonder if there is a archive of Steve Wright in the afternoon shows somewhere on the web...
Rip steve one more gone 😢my childhood is slipping away
DITTO
All these characters made me happy back then...and now hearing again at 65 yrs old they still do! RIP Steve. Legend.

Kenny Everett for sure.

Great data.Make BBC Great Again!
Decorating always had it on where ever we was
I think every work place stopped work to listen to Simon Bates our tune and the sad story he portrayed on the radio. Steve Wright was definitely a one in a billion person
Steve Wright's voice was unique! definitely made for Radio! a master at work! ❤
Put him up there right alongside Terry Wogan as the best in his field. Entertained me for 40 years. Thanks Steve. RIP.
He was a star ,the voice of my youth and fabulous times. God rest his soul ❤ miss you sir xxx😢

Cool story. I was born 1980 and remember his jingle in the car radio when driving about with my mum mid 80’s.
left school in the mid 80s and worked on building sites we always had steve on the radio rip What a legend

Summer 1990 was great weather and hot. I remember it well- I turned 20 in February.
We didn't appreciate him enough. He was funny, entertaining and innovative. Radio genius 🎉❤

RIP Steve..😢 Absolute legend and this brings me great memories of my youth, when Radio 1 was a great station, not now. Thanks for the memories 😊
Awww Mr Angry..! Oh Steve, I sure hope you knew how much you were loved and cherished. You formed so many memories for so many. RIP..
The days of" being so angry we could throw the phone down" have gone...😢..so sad. First the phones (robust enough to throw down!) and now Steve. R.I.P. My best wishes to his family at this sad time. 😔 💔
It was a golden age of radio. I loved the show, and Tommy Vance on Friday Nights. Great stuff.
Even Capital Radio 194 was brilliant then.
Capital was great too.
Dave Cash, Michael Apsel, Nikky Horne, Kenny Everett, Chris Tarrant.
Tarrant was fantastic with Cara on the breakfast show.He was wasted on TV.
Capital was great now a chav urban station for the tic toc generation.
Any one else remember Adrian Just with his excellent comedey clips show?Saturday lunchtime on Radio One.And Alan Freeman Rock Show.Magic days.
yey!
tv on the radio! 🙂 x
and John peel..
Lovely to hear the jingles again

What a true radio legend. Janice Long was also broadcasting that same evening on the 8th April 1985.. So sad 😢

I was a teenager in 1985, where did the time go? So nostalgic listening to this. RIP Steve.
Rest in peace Steve, you were an amazing dj, and a great part of my life growing up in the 80s and onwards listening to you.
Great to hear what was happening on my birthday in 1985, always listened to Steve in the afternoon….RIP
Rest in peace Steve. You will be missed 😢
Breaks my heart to hear this again after so long xxx
It's still hard to believe Steve's gone 😥
Great stuff. Was 19 when this aired. RIP Steve. You’ll be sadly missed. Nice to see somethings don’t change . Bad weather and strikes.
I was not a Steve Wright fan back in the day but I guess four decades turns a DJ into a treasured memory. Still, I did have that radio.
He was the daddy of them all .
God rest your wonderful soul thanks for everything will much miss your voice ❤
This is genius - totally took it for granted at the time! RIP Steve
Take me back to those days please ,mid 80s,great music,great radio,,,,before the world went downhill…
Thankyou Steve, you kept us entertained, and made us laugh every day you broadcast ❤ miss you 😥

No one like him. Legend. Far more than a just a DJ. Genuis entertainer. RIP
Rip Steve you will be missed by millions, the nation loved you and how you made us a laugh over the years ❤
When I was younger I used to cut the DJ out and record the music. Now I’m older and know I can get the music from anywhere I wished I’d recorded bits in between the music.
Thought I was the only one who had a recording of this ! Mine is in FM STEREO though 😊
His shows kept the Work force going through the 80s
🙌🙌🙌🙌♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for the memories
BBC had the talent for a BBC gold station. Wright, Bruce ,Edmunds, Blackburn etc .
Would be so listened to....or just a station with old programes from the past put together.So much better than we have now.
Truly brilliant radio first class DJ RIP
Love this. So good to hear Irish Ruth again.😂
Class Steve was a radio legend RIP
1985: 3 million unemployed, Miners strike ends, IRA bombings, football riots, Live Aid yet to happen, mobile phone just been launched in UK. Cheer up with Steve Wright in the afternoon.
Loved the steve wright show back in the 80s
Started listening when i left school in 1982
Great memories steve..genius made it sound so easy...the work involved...Mr angry and sid 😂..cracked me up...what have we got now?...oh yeah..nothing!..r.i.p..steve..gazz
RIP Steve....
This brings back some great memories ❤ RIP Steve going to miss you, what we going to do? X❤X
These shows were brilliant they should be put up on BBC sounds.
Used to have this on in the afternoon as a teenager. Very much of its time. Didn't Chris Morris parody him as Wayne Carr In The Afternoon?
I think I I remember listening to this!
Mr Angry!!! Yes we used to tape Steve and listened to it back " Yes recorded it on tape " This man was a master at his trade and it seems the earlier DJs are much better than today "Tony Blackburn ect Rip
It's like a step back in time
What a legend. Miss Steve on Radio 2.
This is great!! Thankyou for the upload.
Wouldn’t that be a superb idea for Greatest Hits Radio? Buy the entire SW AM Radio catalogue!
Gob bless Steve got me though the 80s ,wish they would do more of this Mr angry ect but not sure get away with today rip 😢
Massive memories of being on strike , ex miner, used to listen to Steve daily with Mr Angry and Sid, brill , he was born for radio.
Summer 1985 , just done my O'levels and discovered Wrighty on the radio while planning my future......now I,m only 12 years off retirement Wtf😮
Wrighty, Ken Bruce, Mark Radcliffe and the boy lard, how rich we were and didn’t even know it…
Is that lady from Belfast who used to say you need therapy? Rip Steve
…was thinking just the same, did SW also say ‘FM - sniff that tea’ :), RIP.
Here on the passing of this legend 😞😞😞. Grew up on his show, is there anywhere you can listen to archived “full shows” ? 🙏❤️
Luxy and radio 1 on mediumwave, listened from GDR
Heaven FM must be a belting station.
I recorded this too! Loved the show during this era
This was the day Dennis Taylor beat Steve Davis 😎
What's the name of the song right at the end that sounds like "Don't Worry 'Bout Me?"
Not the biggest fan, but today was the end of an era, and a little bit of the past has now gone.
Any way to download these as MP3 clips? Be great to keep them and listen in Steve's memory .
Never listened to Rad 1 or 2 when they got rid of him!
The LEGEND!
RIP you have gone too early
❤
LEGEND
They should do a rerun everyday!
Heart Broken
Glad I listed no hovercraft service today.
Another one gone and I’m quickly running out of DJ’s
Wonder if they'll AI Steve like Boom Rock is said to be doing with Tommy Vance.
Anyone awake yet to why all these personalities are dying suddenly!?
Who sounded the loon klaxon that brought you here?
@@thedivinemrm5832Obviously you’re the next one on the cloof list to go 😂
@@David-uq6yb You conspiracy cranks still ignoring all the celebrities who died of covid, right? Unhinged, the lot of you.
god..
what was i doing Easter Monday '85...
Radio 1 should have been on FM from the get-go - they played all the latest hits (plus the odd oldies), yet those idiots at the BBC kept it on medium wave for about twenty years, with only the occasional appearance on FM - weeknights at ten, Saturday between 1 and 7:30 pm, Sundays from 5 pm and on Bank Holiday Mondays on the frequency normally occupied by Radio 2!
Haha, Mister Angry.
He was spectac-lier
i miss the cheeky irreverence
That northern irish lady who laughs at her own not very amusing comments is extremely annoying. like why are you laughing? you didn't say anything funny! And she does it every time!
Her name was Ruth McCrum, a former BBC employee from Northern Ireland. Sadly passed away a few years ago.
It was myrthsome. FACT.
Oh dear, some 1985 racism going on there with the "Yesssir Mr Wright" voice.
Groan!!!!
FFS
We should make history illegal..like the Chinese Cultural Revolution ..year 0.
How is that racist!
Oh dear another woke saddo ffs
It’s been a privilege to have been entertained by possible THE BEST EVER Dj I very much doubt any will come close to Steve’s vision a masterclass 🖕
Love mr angry but the best was mr mad. Raving mad pal.
