DJ Heaven - Dave Lee Travis

DLT- Radio Pipe Smoker of the Year?

Back in 1993 BBC2 showed a series called DJ Heaven. It featured six Radio 1 DJs and was, in effect, an excuse to show clips from old editions of Top of the Pops with links from the DJ in question. The DJs were DLT, Jimmy Savile, Tony Blackburn, John Peel, Simon Bates and Mike Read. Over the next six weeks I'll be posting the opening short biographies that kicked off each programme.

So from 25 September 1993 here's a potted history of the broadcasting career of Dave Lee Travis.
