Geoff Lloyd and Annabel Port left the Absolute stable in April 2017.

Geoff's first show from One Golden Square, back when the station carried its former brand, was aired in 1999.

"...and then there's something very important that I want to tell you. Don't touch that dial." Thus ended Dave Berry's breakfast tenure at Capital London after five years.

This was an understated, professional farewell show, as he departed for Absolute - and he even paid tribute to the 'trinity of bosses: Ashley, Stephen and Richard'.

Both BBC Radio 2 and 4 carried announcements on the morning of 5th April 2017 suggesting that Brian Matthew had died. The statement was retracted later that day.

Radio 4 despatched a speedy apology for this credit for Brut aftershave on Radio 4 on March 30th (730 am) by the brilliant Garry Richardson on the Today programme. “This was a mistake. It should not have happened. We apologise and the programme’s sports production team is being reminded of the editorial guidelines on product prominence”.

Given the speed of the apology, the Guardian article covering this, and the general hullabaloo - we can rest assured it’s an uncommon occurrence.

Russell Brand announced here his return to live radio after eight years. It will be the first time since the 'Sachsgate' episode - where he and Jonathan Ross prank-called the late Andrew Sachs on Radio 2, albeit that element of the programme was recorded.

Russell's new show will air on Radio X on Sunday mornings.
