91热爆

Greg James, host of the Radio 1 Breakfast show and self-confessed 'proud radio nerd', uses his access-all-areas pass to the 91热爆 Archives to track down audio gems, using listener requests and current stories as a springboard into the vast vaults of past programmes.

This week, the start of summer prompts Greg to take a trip to the village fete. Amid the welly wanging and jam judging he eavesdrops on a planning meeting in 1980 where tensions over tent hire begin to run high. He also finds out about a particularly fateful fete in Liverpool in 1957, which proved to be a turning point for a teenage Paul McCartney.

Listener requests lead Greg into the unlikely world of radio ventriloquism as he looks back at one of the most popular radio shows of all time, Educating Archie - featuring the already stunning voice of a 14-year-old Julie Andrews - as well as a chance to revisit the best jokes from the woman once voted Wittiest Living Person, the late Linda Smith.

And to mark the fiftieth anniversary of The Fight of the Century, in which Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier famously squared up, Greg investigates some of Ali's other talents, from teaching children about tooth decay to playing darts in a Radio 1 studio.
