Career: When Radio 5 was launched in 1990, Radcliffe began presenting an evening music show, Hit the North. In 1993, he and co-presenter Marc 'Lard' Riley, were given the night-time slot on Radio 1, which quickly gained a devoted cult following. In 1997, the duo had a brief, ill-fated stint on the Breakfast Show, before being shifted to the afternoon, where they proved much more popular and picked up three Sony Awards. Radcliffe moved to Radio 2 in 2004, where he currently co-hosts an evening show with Stuart Maconie. Away from the airwaves, he's presented the TV programmes The White Room, Match of the Nineties and Next!, written the memoir Showbusiness; The Diary of a Rock and Roll Nobody and the novel Northern Sky, released two albums with his spoof band the Shirehorses and won Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes impersonating Shane McGowan.
