 In December 1988, the then producer Stuart Hobday re-discovered Simon Dee, the first voice to have been heard on Radio Caroline in 1964 and persuaded him to present a listeners’ all-time-favourite Top 20.The response from the public was so great that Dee was booked for a three-month run early in 1989.His success led to another three-month contract later in the year, but his constant demands for the show to go live and to move from Bristol to London, along with a growing list of complaints to BBC top management, meant that his contract was not renewed.
