Sandie DJs on BBC Radio 2: Dec 2nd and Dec 9th!
23 November 2006
On Saturday December 2nd and 9th Sandie takes over from
Brian Matthews, who is unwell, to present the popular
‘Sounds of The Sixties’ show which broadcasts from
8-10am.
“I had a brilliant time. The producer, Roger Bowman was a
delight and really good fun. Everyone at the Beeb was so
helpful and friendly especially the traffic lady, Sally who
offered me her reading specs for the scripts! While I was
there I spoke to Julio Iglesias, who had been keeping my
seat warm for me, looking tiny and fragile, but as ever the
Latin gentleman. David Jacobs, Joe Brown and practically
every producer and engineer in the building made some excuse
to visit the studio. I even helped Steve Wright with his
migraine, which made me feel useful. His studio is next door
and as I am recording my programmes I can see and wave to
him through the glass partition while he is on air, munching
his way through plates of junk food and handfuls of Mars
bars. Perhaps that has something to do with his headaches.
They laid on canapés and fruit and my running order,
written on Beeb headed paper, described me as a ‘very
special guest’. So I was treated very well. It was a real
tonic to be there. After each programme there was always a
bit of a kafuffle about which lucky man would accompany me
down in the lift. I hope they ask me back again.” Sandie
