After Dinner Speakers: Dave Lee Travis, Hamish McRae, Rory Bremner
Born in Buxton, Derbyshire, ex-Radio Caroline South presenter David 'Hairy Cornflake' Lee Travis joined Radio 1 shortly after its launch. He presented the weekday lunchtime show (early 70's), teatime show (mid 70's) breakfast show (late 70's) weekend mid-morning show (83-93) and invented the feature ''snooker on the radio'' on his later weekend show.
He was almost taken off the air on one occasion when he expressed concerns live on air over seal clubbing, encouraging listeners to complete a protest form in the daily newspaper!
He enjoyed drag racing at Santa Pod during the 1970's. He published a book in the 1980's of celebrity photographs, called 'A Bit of a Star'.
DLT's interests include photography and classic cars.
Dave's light hearted and relaxed presentation style brought him a loyal audience for 26 years.
