After Dinner Speakers: Adrian Juste, Emma Thompson, Jim Tavare

Adrian is well known for his distinctive lively style of Radio 1 shows where he included audio comedy clips between records. His clips included 'The Grimleys', 'Fawlty Towers', Carry On', and 'Tony Hancock' dispersed with pop music of the day. His shows were normally scheduled at weekend lunchtimes. Adrian was inspired by former Light Programme/Radio One presenter Jack Jackson (1906-1978). He was a popular presenter both on the radio and at club venues during the 1980's and 1990's.He recorded the voiceover for the new Radio 1 FM transmitter tests broadcast from 1988.Adrian started as a radio DJ with Birmingham's local BRMB station as their breakfast presenter in 1974 and began working for R1 as far back as 1977, but was sadly sacked from the station he loved in 1994 by Matthew Bannister, after 17 years.Adrian said that Matthew had instructed one of his reports to inform him of the decision by telephone one evening at Egton House. Adrian has since made appearances on Radio Carousel and Jewel FM and more recently was heard broadcasting live from Belfast on new years eve, 2001, along with Mike Read, Richard Skinner and DLT!
