Goffy said: “I really enjoyed being part of the series and it was a great opportunity to highlight how the Century Radio brand was marketed and to remember some of the stories that listeners would not be aware of.

“People still stop and chat about the many wonderful presenters that were such a major part of the positive story.

"There was so much to talk about from the endless stories that have gone out on air and I hope people will gain something from the chat with Luke.”
