Radio Phoenix Remembered

'Radio' - A drama produced by former TV company Television South (TVS) back in 1982, this series was essentially a soap opera following the staff of fictitious Brighton-based commercial radio station, Radio Phoenix.

Very few people remember the series, but those in the radio industry, including this site's webmaster, loved the show.

We'd be keen to add some more content related to this series. If you have any audio or video tapes or clips, please let us know.

Audio and Video

You'll find a very low quality MP3 clip of the programme's intro here, and the show's closing jingle here.

Many thanks to site visitor Ian Wegg for getting in touch and letting us have a copy of the last episode of the 1982 series on DVD - great to get to see an episode again after so many years. From the show's credits, the last episode was produced by Colin Nutley and Tony McLaren, and directed by Peter Ellis. On the right is a screen capture from the show, showing a 1980's ILR desk in it's prime (click to enlarge).

This episode has now been uploaded to YouTube in two parts: Radio Part 1 and Radio Part 2

Comments from visitors:

• Thanks also to Hugh for the following: "I remember this featured Perry Benson (who was also in 'Going Out') as this hapless kind of bloke working there. There was a moustachio'd dj who - if i remember this correctly - seemed to go by the nickname 't*****r'. Hence at the end of certain episodes and aggrieved Perry Benson would exclaim 'you T*****R!'. Bit strong for early Sunday evening!"
  
  
• We've also heard from Neil as follows: "I'm currently looking for information about the program called Radio Phoenix, did you know that this is supposed to be a follow up to a program written by Phil Redmond called 'Going Out' apparently the same characters appear in both, do you know if the Radio Phoenix show is available anywhere?"
