Radio 1 was boss back then, Simon Bates, Gary Davies and then Steve Wright.
Our Tune did sometimes make me choke when I heard some of the stories though....
I'm on Radio 2 these days, no doubt it will be Radio 4 once I reach my late 40s  |

Yeah, definately! I used to work on a shop floor then and we had Radio 1 on all day. Everyone used to stop at 11am to listen to Our Tune..the workforce was mainly women but you sucked into these things don't you.. sentimental buggers lol.  |

Simon Bates now presents the morning slot on Classic FM but I don't think he does Our Tune on it. I may be wrong but I believe he owns the rights to that format. |

I remember it well, and i hated it with a passion, sorry.
Sentimental, saccharine tripe on a daily basis.
Whilst i have no doubt that many of the stories were moving and involved life changing events in peoples lives i could never understand (and still don't) what would posess anyone to write into Radio1 to tell their story and get "True" by Spandau Ballet played on the airways of a morning because person x had been killed in a bizarre gardening accident.
I expect a lot of people on here will disagree with me, but i used to piss myself listening to it - " and as they left the crematorium they could see the wisp of his life climbing skyward to heaven - Here's David Bowie with 'Ashes to Ashes..."
I've never been able to stand things like that, i feel they are in very poor taste and unecessary. But i must be wrong, 'cos half of tv is now 'true life stories' and you can't pass a magazine rack without being bombarded with Take a Break type crap pandering to the voyeur in all of us.
In, of course, my humble opinion.
And with respect, of course, to those who like that sort of thing.
