Dave at Radio Two

My first ever publicity photo for the BBC in 1986 and I was at Radio Two. As they say, it's all downhill from here. Had I peaked too soon?

Look at the full head of hair and how dark it was.

I wouldn't want to use those headphones again, they were very uncomfortable and the sound quality poor, but there are still some around.

 
 
Dave in a bathtub for Children in Need
I think this was 1987 when I sailed down the Thames in a bathtub promoting the Children in Need Appeal for BBC Radio Two. I stopped for a rest at one point and chatted to Ester Rantzen from a mobile phone which was one of the early versions with a house brick size battery.
 
 
 
A Radio Two studio circ. 1986
This is a Radio Two studio from the early 80's. Note the three record decks and a complete abscence of any computers - hurrah!
 
     
Dave and Colin Berry
This is a publicity shot taken c.1986. Colin Berry was presenting the Early Show Monday - Friday and I was in charge on Saturday and Sunday. He was one of the really nice guys I worked alongside at Radio Two.
 
     
The opening of Wragbt swimming pool
Following a series of fund raising events on behalf of the group behind a new swimming pool for Wragby, I was invited to the official opening. Years from now I'm sure people will wonder who "Dave Bussey" is when they see the name on a plaque on the wall.
 
     
Dave rowing from Saxilby to Lincoln
One of my first fund raising efforts for BBC Radio Lincolnshire. Rowing a boat from Saxilby to Lincoln. I've no idea where the idea came from and certainly I couldn't row very well, but somehow I made it.
 
One of the many animals I have interviewed at the Lincolnshire Show though this one was more interested in other things going on.
