Surely it must have been later than that for Aled to be there?

Did Aled not join radio 1 in about 2000 as part of one of the talent schemes? Or am I totally mistaken?

From http://www.chrismoyles.net/mw/teamaled.shtml :

Aled joined Radio 1 from Television Centre in June 1999 as a Broadcast Assistant (BA) on the Roadshow during its last year. He had previously done work experience with Radio 1 on the Roadshow.

Guys,

Thanks for your comments.

I'm not blaming the reviewer, I do understand that the review is a transcript of the show, and as Chris said, I just wanted to respond to what was said.

I've spoken to Aled a few times, and he isn't embarassed at all. He suggested this would be the right place to respond to the show review if I wanted to do so.

As for the other points, It wasn't '97 it was '99, and no, Aled didn't join through "Talent" he moved from TV Centre to R1 in 1998/99 if I remember correctly.

Anyway, as I said before, there is no hard feelings, I do really enjoy the show, but just felt on this one, I wanted the right to reply.

Keep listening and supporting lil-Al :)

Even so, get over it! I'd be honoured if Chris insulted me, he knows no other language!

If that's wrong, blame Aled himself ..

Well I'm pleased to say I have a little more self-respect than that!

Well I don't think that's true, and even if it was, that doesn't make it right.

Cor - so close! I was working from memory, but yes it was '99.

Keep smiling :)
