  3. "Sue Lawley" - The Police

    Like Paddy Ashdown, Steve Wright will be remembered for exactly one joke.

    Happy birthday, Steve Wright's joke.

  5. Yesterday was Steve Reich’s birthday.

    This is my favourite (extremely niche) dad joke.

  7. So,

    What did #SteveWright die of, then?

    .....Assuming it's not too soon to ask

  9. A tribute to Steve Wright, explaining why he was such an artist on the radio, and why he didn't really do many game shows - but I've found one anyway.

  10. I remember I used to rush home from school on an afternoon to listen to the #SteveWright teatime show.

    I got into Tubular Bells purely because Steve Wright had Mike Oldfield in one afternoon promoting Tubular Bells 2!

  12. I hadn't kept up with #SteveWright's career or appearance since some time in the 1980s, so it was only when the internet was flooded with pictures of him following the sad news of his death this week that I realised he'd started modelling himself after doughy action hero and unfeasibly black-haired Putin fan #StevenSeagal. Such a shame that Wright never interviewed Seagal on air: the personality clash would have been splendid, the imagined scent of black shoe polish overwhelming.

  13. I won't claim to be a big radio guy, but fuck the loss of Steve Wright sucks. His voice just....that's *the* voice I hear when I think about Radio in the UK. Real shame we won't hear it further.

    RIP.

  17. Sad to hear of Steve Wright's death today. Not a DJ I honestly particularly liked but his voice and shows were the background to many large DIY jobs around the house when we first moved in so he'll always be associated with good memories.

  19. RIP #SteveWright you provided the sound track of my youth, and the accompaniment to my long drives from Milton Keynes.

    They don't make them like you anymore.

  21. Shocked to hear about the sudden death of #SteveWright. My parents had Radio 2 on around the house all the time and his 5 o'clock jingle on The Big Show will always be synonymous with that time of the afternoon. RIP 😢

  24. Steve Wright's presenting style may have been cheesy and, dare I say, stale towards the end of his #BBCRadio2 Big Show, but he was undeniably a huge force in British broadcasting. He'll be missed.

  25. Sad news. For the first few years of my BBC career in the 1980s I sound balanced his show on BBC Radio 1 - one of the famous "Afternoon Boys"
