From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Currently radio DJ for BBC Southern Counties Radio. His show is broadcast weekdays between 9am and 1pm.
He was also presenter on the final series of the children's show Tiswas in 1982 alongside Sally James. Although brought in to replace former chief presenter Chris Tarrant, who'd left to present O.T.T., Astley himself said he was there to take over James's old role. [1]
He has also been on various radio stations in the Midlands such as Beacon Radio & BBC WM, where he presented the Weekday Mid-Morning show until 1994, when he first joined BBC Southern Counties Radio.
He made a brief return to the Midlands in the late 1990's, when he took over the late night show on BBC WM. This was carried on various BBC Local Radio stations in the Midlands.
He has since moved back down to the South of England & was heard on commercial stations & is now back on BBC Southern Counties Radio every Sunday - Friday from 9am-1pm.
He has been a radio presenter and disc jockey both in Britain and America for over thirty years. Other credits include being a regular panelist on Cheggers Plays Pop in the late seventies, Play Away, Play School and It's a Knockout. He is also a motivational speaker, professional magician and a member of The Magic Circle.
