Hearing the news of the legend's passing, & it's a strange reminder of how we exist in a kind of bubble from the early 00s where time never passes...but it does 😕

This has got a bit heavy...what were your top Karl's Dad moments? Big love to the Pilkington family.

I was buzzing about writing forty minutes of brand new stand-up. He equated that to coming up with Rockbusters.

What's the shoddiest moment of the entire #Xfm run?

I'm thinking...Steve making the tea and coming back to Pop Idol chat. Claire not being able to play a CD.

What earned the station its tinpot reputation?

Hang on sorry, I thought we'd all agreed that #Rockbusters was a piece of old toss.
