Radio 2 Remembers Steve Wright

Across special programmes, we celebrate the life and career of the legendary broadcaster on what would have been his 70th birthday.

A collection of special programmes paying tribute to the much-loved broadcasting great on what would have been his 70th birthday.

We hear from Steve's friends from the worlds of entertainment, broadcasting and beyond - and we hear from listeners themselves, who share their own fond memories of Steve as they look back and remember his many shows from across the decades. We also hear Steve himself from the Ö÷²¥´óÐã archive talking about his career and the broadcasters who inspired him, and playing the records he loved.

And in podcast shows, we showcase the breadth and depth of the guests that Steve sat down with at the Ö÷²¥´óÐã, alongside recently recorded interviews to update their story.

Covering the entire period of Steve's career across radio and television, much of the archive material is exactly that - interviews which were archived, but then never heard or seen since their initial broadcast. As well as replaying them, Steve also introduces, contextualises and shares memories of chatting with the guests.
