Talk:Tommy Boyd

Does Anyone know what happened on tommy's show on Saturday? An obviously drunk caller swore prior to the 1am news bulletin and Tommy didnt return afterwards. Instead the station went to 5 live. I know that local BBC stations go to 5 live in the early hours but I thought Tommys show was suppossed to be on untill 2am? Is this a case of yet another sacking due to idiotic callers?!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.71.140 (talk • contribs) 02:48, 4 December 2005

• No, according to Southern Counties' web site Tommy still has his Saturday night show. Jess Cully 22:43, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

- The article doesn't mention that he worked at the Brighton Aquarium or had an excellent program on Southern Sound with David Leg (spelling). The highlights for me were the London to Brighton Kitchen Utensil Race, Kevin from the Planet Jupiter, Major Briggs and Nicky's Naki Noo. His theme tune was the Monty Python one with lyrics. I just don't know enough to write the details without affecting the quality of the article.

He mentioned on a Bullseye repeat from 1985 that he worked as a journalist in Fleet Street for three years before working in broadcasting. 2.31.162.99 (talk) 23:41, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Edited where Tommy Boyd lives. My understanding is that he now lives in London.

• He lives in Chichester. This is sourced on the transcript on the page I cited when putting the reference in. I'm putting it back in. Jess Cully 23:00, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

tommy boyd grew up in feltham, middlesex, not ashford surrey which is mentioned in the article

Personal life I have removed the personal life section as contained only an irrelevant advert for a podcast. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.236.154.248 (talk) 10:53, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Just curious

I can see there was a problem at the time the article was semi-protected four years ago, but is the semi-protection for life? Periglio (talk) 09:56, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
