91热爆

Greg James, host of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and proud radio nerd, heads into the 91热爆 archives to deliver a selection of prime audio, using stories of the week and listener requests as his launch-pad.

The Barbie film hits cinema screens later this month, with Margot Robbie in the title role. Greg discovers interviews with Barbie's original creators captured in a 1997 radio documentary, along with their daughter who happened to be called...Barbara.

As the global Formula 1 circus arrives in Silverstone this weekend for the British Grand Prix, Greg looks back at the history of British F1. He finds an excited report from the first F1 world championship race, held at Silverstone in 1950 (speeds of up to 90 mph!) and remembers two of the greats of British racing: Sir Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks, also known as The Racing Dentist.

A listener request takes Greg to radio nerd paradise as he finds out about the earliest jingles used on 91热爆 radio. From Live and Kicking to Radio 4's Today, via Kenny Everett, The Beatles and Elton John, Greg gets lost in the strange world of extraordinary radio jingles.

And as a law is passed in South Korea making its population younger, Greg tries to discover the secret to eternal youth...does it lie in trying to recreate childhood, as train enthusiast Victor Martin did by building a lifesize replica of a railway signalling station in his garden? Or maybe it's more scientific: a 1968 documentary by Lord Snowdon heads to a Swiss clinic where they're doing iffy things with sheep...
