The Remarkable Tale of Radio 1 by Robert Sellers

For most people in Britain in the 1970s and 1980s, Radio 1 provided the soundtrack to their lives. Commanding up to 24 million listeners a week, it was the most popular radio station in the world. An iconic institution and one of the UK's most famous brands, its history and socio-cultural impact is explored in full here for the first time. Robert Sellers draws on archive material and first-hand interviews with DJs and key personnel to capture the extraordinary story of Radio 1, from its beginnings in 1967 through to its controversial reorganisation in the early nineties.
Robert Sellers is the author of numerous books on entertainment and popular culture including 'authorised' biographies of Ernie Wise, Kenny Everett and Oliver Reed, the best-selling Hellraisers: The Life and Inebriated Times of Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed, along with histories of Ealing Studios, Handmade Films and the James Bond series.
