Radio 1 doesn't do them, but a great station called Big L (www.bigl.co.uk or 1395 Medium Wave) has recreated them. The main DJs on BigL are former Radio 1 jocks Mike Read, David Hamilton and Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart. Read did a series of roadshows last Summer with Smiley Miley. They even hit the headlines when a snake stunt went wrong nearly causing Smiley to choke to death. Read for one should definitely be on Radio 2 now, but this station is a wonderful alternative.
