Radio call in's - Agony Aunt/Uncle

[cslgirl]

I used to love listening to a radio station that used to have a Friday night call in for people with personal problems but was so long ago I cannot remember which station it was.

Are there any radio stations that still do this? Not that I want to call but I want to listen

Radio 1 do it on a Sunday evening at 9.

I am pretty sure it was Capital Radio I used to tune into. I always remember listening to a guy with a long winded problem and the punchline (which is all I can remember) was "she keeps parking her bike in my back passage" and the guy was cut off.

hehe, I will take a look at the match.com thread then Rach.

Thank god for technology and being able to listen to the radio online otherwise I would have had no joy at tuning into the Black Countrys finest where I live

Just to jog some memories, for us in the home counties, it was 'Late Night Love' with the genius that was (and still is) Graham Torrington.

I think the show appeared on a lot of independent radio stations, simultaneously in the evenings...at least around here it did - on Q103 and Chiltern FM to name a couple. Maybe his love spread wider than that?

Way back when Capital first started (mid-seventies) there was an 'agony aunt' phone-in with 'Anna(Raeburn)and the Doctor'.

She covered the emotional issues, and he dealt with physical problems. It was revolutionary and sometimes controversial at the time.
I remember the Doc dealing with a male caller, worried about the size of his tackle. His advice was that standing naked in front of a full-length mirror would give a more impressive perspective.
