Radio 1 was boss back then, Simon Bates, Gary Davies and then Steve Wright.

Our Tune did sometimes make me choke when I heard some of the stories though....

I'm on Radio 2 these days, no doubt it will be Radio 4 once I reach my late 40s

Yeah, definately! I used to work on a shop floor then and we had Radio 1 on all day. Everyone used to stop at 11am to listen to Our Tune..the workforce was mainly women but you sucked into these things don't you.. sentimental buggers lol.

Simon Bates now presents the morning slot on Classic FM but I don't think he does Our Tune on it. I may be wrong but I believe he owns the rights to that format.

The music he played throughout each piece was Nino Rota's theme to Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film Romeo and Juliet.

I remember it well, and i hated it with a passion, sorry.

Sentimental, saccharine tripe on a daily basis.

Whilst i have no doubt that many of the stories were moving and involved life changing events in peoples lives i could never understand (and still don't) what would posess anyone to write into Radio1 to tell their story and get "True" by Spandau Ballet played on the airways of a morning because person x had been killed in a bizarre gardening accident.

I expect a lot of people on here will disagree with me, but i used to piss myself listening to it - " and as they left the crematorium they could see the wisp of his life climbing skyward to heaven - Here's David Bowie with 'Ashes to Ashes..."

I've never been able to stand things like that, i feel they are in very poor taste and unecessary. But i must be wrong, 'cos half of tv is now 'true life stories' and you can't pass a magazine rack without being bombarded with Take a Break type crap pandering to the voyeur in all of us.

In, of course, my humble opinion.

And with respect, of course, to those who like that sort of thing.
