JON HOLMES ON RADIO 1
Having stopped producing regular comedy
shows in the late 1990s, Radio 1 dipped
a toe back into the water with The Milk
Run, a sketch show mixed with music in
their late night oneclick:comedy strand
in 2005. When this came to an end Jon
was given the opportunity to host a
"one-off late night special".
Produced by the BBC Radio Entertainment
department it featured such illustrious
items as a game of 'Slut Bingo ', the
'Complaint Letter Hat' (in which
complaints about the show were set to
music), a late night Newsbeat especially
for tramps and Jon phoning those sorts
of numbers that you see written in
biro on the back of toilet cubicle doors
in public lavatories, just to see who
answered.
There were
also Jon and Andy performed pieces,
notably when Andy finds a new born baby
on the steps of Radio 1 and they have to
hide it in case Chris Moyles eats it.
