I never got a chance to send my letter. Was sat on the sideboard with a stamp on it and everything.

Dear Jim,

Please could you fix it for me to be awesome. My Mum says I am already awesome but she bakes cakes in the basement. If you cannot fix it for me to be awesome please could you send me a bin liner full of your old track suits, Mum says she’ll wear them to the supermarket on cake day.

Thank you,

Darren, aged 36 and 3 quarters.

The man, the legend, Sir Jimmy Saville has died...

US guys might not have much idea of who he is, but he's a British institution, and he will be missed.

Actually, I do. I read about him a few years ago, while researching DJ history.

"...I didn’t think I was entertaining. What I was doing was, I was creating an atmosphere. An entertainer sings, dances, tells jokes, juggles. I don’t do any of that. I was creating, an, atmosphere. And when I got to the big dance halls and I’ve got 3,000 people in front of me and I’m on the stage with just the twin decks. And the records playing. My thrill is looking at them, and they’re all doing what they’re doing because I’ve just put this thing on. It’s a hell of a thing. "
