Mike Read is pure Alan Partridge

Oscar Wilde, theatre review, 2004

One week later, equalling the record set the year previously, came a zero-star
review of a play written by former Radio 1 DJ Mike Read.

What we said 
Elisabeth Mahoney wrote: “The radio microphones, especially
that of Peter Blake playing Oscar, are giving out only horribly patchy sound.
We hear cast members speaking off stage. We endure duets where one singer
is at full volume, while the other has no amplification at all. As this grim
evening continues, you begin to wonder whether the sound system is being
affected by the hefty rumbling of Oscar Wilde turning in his grave.”

‘Was it justified? 
Oscar Wilde closed after this, its debut performance. That
‘makes it far less successful than Cliff, Read’s 2003 musical about Cliff
Richard, which ran for three full months.

Since Yesterday reviewed on the 'pop panel' segment of BBC kids' TV show Saturday Superstore. The non musicians disparaged it but the musicians were approving. Delia Smith hated the 'doom & gloom', Midge Ure retorted 'I quite enjoy a bit of misery'!

Mike Read wears the blue Blue Peter badge, awarded when he gave tips to Simon Groom on how to be a great disk jockey.

Simon lasted one week on the Radio 2 early show.

His successor as Blue Peter legend, Lindsey Russell, took no advice from Mike Read and has lasted absolutely years on Heart FM.

Holy crap - has anyone else come across "The Heritage Chart Show" on .
The imagery appears to be completely generated (possible even the 'music' is from an AI generated parallel nightmare universe since I've never heard of any of it.)
Also, where's the logic in using Morris Benton's Broadway font to suggest 'the olden days' when we're only talking about the 1980s or 1990s?!
I'm not sure it's even the real .
