I was born in 1926, right. In 1939, war broke out. And that has a tremendous effect on everybody's life because the basic principle of a human being is whether they're gonna be alive or dead in the morning. Now with the war on, you can't guarantee that, especially living in a city like Leeds where we had air raids and all that.

I've never had a record in my life. People would buy somebody a record for their birthday or Christmas or something like that. People used to play records in their houses. I used to borrow. I only had about 10 records. That's all I needed. And I'd borrow them from anybody.

Live TV, which is happening as you see it, is very exciting to do. Any mistake is seen by millions, and if there is a technical breakdown, one has to ad lib or improvise like mad.

On Wednesday, January 1, 1954, at 6:30 P.M., I presented the first-ever 'Top of the Pops.' I remember a journalist asking me how long I thought the programme would last. I said to him, 'It will last as long as people buy records.'

I ran 'Top of the Pops' from the perspective of a DJ. So I would identify the best dancer and the best-dressed audience member and make them part of the show. They were as important as any of the bands.

A Yorkshire coal mine during the war was my first workplace. I was 18, and when I was called up, I thought I'd go into the RAF. But my number got pulled out of Ernest Bevin's hat, and I went down the pit as a Bevin boy to replace all the able-bodied miners who went to war.
