Last time caller, Alan.

[Kent_Mackem]

There’s an interview with him kicking around on YouTube. Makes for quite sad viewing. Hasn’t had a lot of luck with his ladies and sounds like his old man wasn’t great to him either.

Alan Robson and Night Owls have just been given the boot after 40 odd years. Not sure how the 13 or so listeners will take it but best of luck to him in the future.

"After 40 odd years of hosting this show"........."You all know how ambitious I am"

What? Ambitious to reach retirement in the same job you've had 40 odd years?

Never the same after James Whale!

I used to listen to the show years ago.
Probably around 1979 when I last tuned in.
It was a cracking show back then, with some crackpot callers too.
I remember there used to be two sisters (twins) from British West Hartlepool, who used to sing down the phone to AR, or it might have been James Whale.
I don't think they ever made it into the big time, as they took up a career as hairdressers.

Aye I think so.
I remember regularly listening to the show, and James Whale was the host back then in 1978.

Yep, that's the answer to the question I posed earlier. Robson had to literally step in after Whale was sacked. He was a rock DJ prior to stumbling upon night owls.

I won a signed Alice Cooper album back in the day, thought it might have been a good little collectible... until I received it and realised it was signed by Alan Robson... probably worth less than the plastic it is printed on

Remember listening mid eighties, mental how long he managed to keep it going.

 

[becs]

Can't stand the bloke. He was doing high fives as people went over the start line when I did the great north run. So I raised my hand, then dropped it and snubbed him. Childish I know

Wow!! I listened to that when i was at school. (Well, after school had finished obviously...)

Same here, back in the late 80's/early 90's.
