40 glorious years. I'm just amazed anyone noticed, but they did, so I'm grateful. Did you notice? Yes, of course, yeah.

220.07 - 231.086 Simon Mayo

Well, you knew that this was the 40th anniversary of your... Just being on national radio, because I joined Radio 1 in 86, so... I'd say 40 years of national radio. Yeah. 30 years of Hurt.

Well, it was on the radio all the time. True, it was. You know. And it's probably on quite a lot. And it was David Bedelia, who I was in a band with when I was a kid. Back in the day.

250.734 - 255.505 Simon Mayo

I don't know what that's about. So, 40 years of Hurt. 40 years of Hurt.
