He was on the History of Light Entertainment last night and identifed as the producer of the Mike Yarwood show in the late 70's.

Is he the same guy that currently produces Terry Wogan's radio show?

Yes it probably was the same chap.

Alan is in this picture he's the one in the brown suit, third from the left next to Boggy (in the white shirt)

Don't ask what's going on in this picture by the way Laughing

Interesting career move from producing the Yarwood show on TV to Wogan on the radio. Seems very similar to the move Jim Moir made from TV light entertainment to radio. I suspect Wogan would get on well with Boyd if he has that sort of background. Yet another reason why I think Wogan is going to stick around for a couple more years yet on 2.

Interesting stuff. I wonder how he ended up on radio though. What are the requirements to be a radio show producer anyway?

Most of the producers came over from the old radio 1 days.

That picture is definately not 'Barralands' but is that the same Alan Boyd who produced the Mike Yarwood show? I'm very confused. Laughing
