Early 90's MTV VJ's

[garycat]

Back in the days when there was just one Euro MTV channel and there were VJ's such as Paul King and Roy Cakes (Ray Cokes) there were also some female VJs that I can't remember the names of.

Can anyone help?

There was a jokey bloke who used to do the entertainment news. I was standing next to him while he filmed a piece in Cannes for the Film Festival. While he was live on air, a thief knicked his Yam TDM 850 just in the background of the shot. Luckily he was off air when he found out, the swearing was of true PH standard.

Was that Ray Cokes?

Was Lisa I'Anson one?

Ray Cokes seems to have morphed from Mark Webber to Jonny Ball:

[southendpier]

Pistonheads favourite punchbag Russell Brand also started then iirc.

I had a months contract at MTV in the early 90's (nothing exciting I was rebuilding their email systems). Amazing place though. Sadly most of the people were very stuck up, some of them however were very friendly. I had toast with Davina a couple of times

Drinks cabinets in every office, loads of beautiful people wafting about doing nothing at all and the double denim wearing greebo IT manager whose first words to me were..

him 'Are you Dave'
me 'Yes'
him 'Are you gay'
me (worried this was some sort of trick) 'errr no'
him 'thank fk, that's two of us'

I was shown some of the 'fan' mail the vj's got. Truly disturbing stuff.
