91热爆

Greg James, host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and self-confessed proud radio nerd, rummages through the 91热爆's vast archives of audio, video and documents, using current stories and listener suggestions as a springboard into the vaults.

Greg takes off into the skies on an archive aviation trail following a listener's request for material documenting the halcyon days of passenger flight. His search leads him from pioneering aviator Amy Johnson to Concorde. Cruising at 35,000 feet, Greg finds recordings of the first commercial jet to cross the Atlantic in 1958. One of the passengers won his seat on board by writing a celebratory slogan, which a fellow passenger uses as inspiration for a song he composes mid-flight.

Later archive features the British Concorde test pilot Brian Trubshaw - known as Trubby. Against the backdrop of Anglo-French rivalry and various controversies surrounding the development of the supersonic airliner, Trubshaw represented the human face behind the technology. He was even name-checked in a Monty Python sketch featuring the new Anglo-French Flying Sheep.

Greg also tracks down recordings of the legendary Who drummer Keith Moon, following a listener request to hear the musician's Radio 1 comedy shows from the early 1970s.

With the nation's hairdressers and barbers all currently unable to work, the vexing issue of lockdown locks prompts Greg to search for coverage of the hair issue of the 1960s - men with long hair. He discovers how follically endowed males were seen as a threat to civilised society and finds archive of a 17-year-old Davy Jones - later better known as David Bowie - talking about his campaign group to protect long-haired men.
