I use to like DLT and remember his resignation brought on by changes being made at BBC being broadcast live on air, this at a time when his show alone had 15 million listeners (The listening figures for Sept 2010 for the whole of Radio 1 were Average Weekly unique users 2,331,216 and Monthly Live listening hours 6,328,844, whatever those figures mean, it's nowhere near 15 million)
I met him at a country show at Bucklers Hard a few years later and sat on a wall chatting to him for 20 minutes of so, a nice guy
