BBC Radio 2 - Pete Murray & David Hamilton - early 1978
At the start of 1978, Radio 2 shuffled its day-time line-up and timings - moving Pete Murray's showbiz & entertainment "Open House" show to lunchtime, swapped with Jimmy Young's current affairs programme which moved to mid-morning. The new schedule enabled Terry Wogan to develop an on-air rapport with Jimmy Young who would pop in to plug his show each day during the last half-hour of Terry's breakfast slot. Meanwhile, Pete Murray's new weekday timing of 12.30 - 14.30 would give him a live hand-over to David Hamilton each day. Here are 3 such hand-overs showing how the two presenters developed this slot from a fairly formal handover in January to an increasingly manic double-act by April 1978. For more David Hamilton clips from his days at Radio 1 and Radio 2, check out my playlist: • BBC Radio 1 - David Hamilton jingle - 1976 Thanks for watching - and listening! :)
