I will reserve my opinions until I hear the views of the greatest DJ of that era the man who inspired a nation - Mr Dave Lee Travis
Thank you for listening
Is that the same DLT who groped a Times journalist recently as she tried to interview him?Thank you for listening
Or were you just trying to be a smart arse?

He makes a fair point really. Loads are making noises but nobody will stand up & make specific accusations. Much like the alleged victims of JS when he was alive to face the music...
Alive, and with armies of highly paid lawyers to ensure that J. Random Nobody's accusation of illicit bumming didn't stick or even make it into the daylight.Oakey said:
He successfully took out an injunction against The Sun to stop them publishing the fact he'd visited that childrens home in Jersey, as well as denying he'd ever been there despite there being photo evidence.
Freddy star has been accused now of sexual assault during the filming of a show with Jimmy. He claims he only met jimmy twice briefly once in his clothes shop and once somewhere else.despite having the show all on film. Nice defense Freddy

You mean the one who groped a woman and not a young lady?
Or were you just trying to be a smart arse?
Until I see documented evidence that the master of myrth did indeed grope the journalist such as a police complaint or prosecution then I will not believe it Or were you just trying to be a smart arse?
It is all too easy to make allegations in the light of current revelations
DLT was fantastic and I wont have the memory of his humerous radio shows destroyed by loose allegations
Thank you

It is patently clear that underage sex was rife in the pop music industry from the sixties onwards at least. John Peel has described girls of 13 and 14 throwing themselves at him in the States, where, correct me if I am wrong, the age of consent is 18. He was happy to oblige. It turns out that the Radio 1 roadshow was a hotbed of similar activity. Why do you imagine young blokes want to be pop stars or DJ's anyway? Anyone who used to watch Top of the Pops back in the day could tell you that it oozed sexuality, and anyone who imagined that a great deal of hanky panky was not taking place must be very naive.
They even sang songs about it!

I think Mike Smith would have been better off just keeping quiet .. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/9594236/Mik...
I heard the interview live and the paper has given a very definite and disingenuous slant to what he said - taking remarks out of one sentence and linking them to another, or their assumed implication, ignoring the real intent behind some of what he said and ignoring the equally trenchant views - on his side, generally - by another ex R1 female dj who does not recognise Kershaw's characterisation.The main point he wanted to raise, quite rightly, was that in refusing to name the culprit (for god knows what reason) her remarks will lead suspicion to fall on many others who worked there at the time, including the innocent. The other dj agreed.
He also admitted Savile was weird, deemed untouchable by the BBC (e.g. all dj's being summoned to a Christmas party because Savile was going to attend), that criticism of hm was not allowed and that he too had heard the rumours as soon as he started working there.
Spoke a lot of sense imho.
seems like Freddie Star was mistaken, about not being on a show with Saville, and never meeting Karin Ward

Smith has always been a bit of an oddity in that he usually did make sense. Still married ti Sarah Greene as well I think.
