| He's so cute, cuddly and not controversial in any way. He’s doing a great job of keeping Radio 2’s average hair count up. Although I suspect that razor manufactures have missed his custom since he gave them the heave ho. I wonder of he shaves his chest? |

| Back in 1976 he was on the local commercial radio station in Stockton-on-Tees "Radio Tees" as was Jeff Stelling of Sky Sports and Channel 4's Countdown. |

Thanks Andy and for the correcton too... 
Its hard to believe he's been doing the late slot on Radio 2 for approx 21 years and now I have read that website, I do remember him doing presentation at Radio 2.
I have not listened to radio 2 through the night for years, I have to be honest.
I had not realised he was at Tees as late as 1983...then I maybe listened less at that time because I was working and in 1984 my Father passed away. But I did listen to Metro Radio and Radio Tees so I must've heard him. |

Oh yes he does!
The Dark Lord is a rare beacon of light in an otherwise dull and bleak line-up of poor presenting talent.
Loving the SHOE, Alex!

| I think Alex is a very good presenter. Unfortunately, he's too good for today's Radio 2! |

One wonders if that is why he (& the likes of Janice Long) don't get let out in the daylight any more.

| Yes it is!... This is why they create a listenable show so people to listen again. It a great shame!! You can only blame a handful of people who made Radio 2 like that. |

It looks like Alex is hosting Bob Harris Country tomorrow night, according to the Radio 2 website.
