Johnny Mason BBC radio 1 rejection letter 1979

Definitely the right decision. I was also turned down for a job in Woolworth and Green Shield Stamps shop! 

Peter Fairless… With a few exceptions who slipped through (Peel, Walker, Nightingale, Kershaw) the BBC have always wanted presenter ‘personalities’ rather than knowledgeable DJs.

Leigh Mitchell… How very dare they…!

Mark Heselwood… Sent from the man who killed off radio 1 mr Beerling. He sacked all the good ones and kept tv personalities. The demise of radio 1.

Andy Knight… it wasn’t Johnny Beerling who did that it was Matthew Bannister when he took over.

Andy Qunta… Well! How rude!

Jacquie Hinves… WTF !!! How rude is that? We love you Johnny.xx

Chris Head… Did you try Mc Miller Motors?

Lance Collins… There’s only one Johnny Mason. !!!

Steve Holland… The BBC’s judgements of Disc Jockeys over the years has not exactly been Good has it, you were original for me This is nonsense .

Peter Brazier… What would he know? Never heard of him on any radio program!
