Poor Simon Dee came in for a lot of stick though. "Dee's combination of Sixties grooviness and spectacular naffness made him the original model for Austin Powers. Even more compelling is his resemblance to comedian Steve Coogan's fictional alter ego, Alan Partridge". He might even still be alive.

I cant say they did, no !
I spent my early years listening to the waning signal of radio Luxemburg from beneath the sheets, while my parents slept. It was the only alternative to the romantic drivvle that filled the airways via the Light Programme. Its where I discovered The New York Dolls ( well I heard about 2/3 of the track anyway)
Stuart Henry, Johnny Walker and Emperor Rosko were a regular listen for me
