Not sure how we got onto the subject at work, but we were talking about Beadle's about, and the his wind up where he pretended to push a guys van off a keyside in docklands, by swapping his one for a replica which was knocked off by a crane.
What is your favourite wind up on tv or radio? |

The best one I can recall was way back in the late 70's when Kenny Everitt did the Breakfast Show on Capital Radio.
One April 1st joke which affected the whole of London, was when he started his show, and apologised for being late, after which he announced every time check one hour ahead of actual time. Thus at 6.30am, he announced it as 7.30am!
He caused chaos; train operators were being inundated with complaints about late running trains; people arrived for work an hour ahead of schedule, or arrived at shops one hour before they opened!
It was only at the close of his show that he confessed that he'd got London woken and into work an hour earlier!
It just went to demonstrate how people actually took for granted that the information passed over on the radio was "kosher!"
That's why, to this day, radio as a means of advertising is regarded as the most powerful way to get a message across. |

Noel Edmonds did this several times to DLT. The best two instances were as follows.
1. When he and co-conspirators took the place of teams competing on DLT's famous Darts on the Radio competition. Noel and his cohorts had managed to get all the questions in advance, so answered every one correctly or incorrectly as the case might be, so the score went to a tie break.
That in itself went to around 30 questions; DLT's reaction in the studio was one of trying to disguise his sheer panic, as the schedule was going out of the window, the news was being delayed and he couldn't work out why and how his producer was staying so calm (he was in on the gag too!)
2. Noel rang in to DLT before the show, pretending to be from the TV Licensing Office, declaring that DLT was actually in arrears with his TV Licence payments, and that it could be very embarrassing for such a star to be caught not having a TV Licence. Noel, by the way, was posing as a middle aged woman, with a superb voice to match (almost like Mrs Doubtfire!). DLT was thoroughly sucked in to the entire plot,a nd the air went blue when Noel ID'd himself.
I have both of these incidents on cassette tape, recorded at the time at home. |

"When War of The Worlds was read on the radio, put the stupid americans into a tail spin. there corrected it for you "
Yes, thank you. Put Halloween 1938 on broadcasting history's wall of infamy for Orson Welles and paniced the Americans.  |
