Good old DLT great d j . Enjoyed this era of radio . Good to hear him even if it was 2018 . Get well

[@andrewmatthews6861]

DAVE WAS TOTALLY INNOCENT A WITCH HUNT 👹👹

[@andrewk2996]

I grew up listening to DLT in the 1980s and early 90s before Radio 1 was turned into a hip hop station. And I was in my mid teens.

[@freddielaker2707]

I never believed it when it first came out and looking at things today we can see where all this personal destroying started, its a sad world we live in now....

[@andrewmorton395]

DLT is a great DJ one of the best.

[@GG-pm5xi]

BBC treated dlt as a scapegoat

[@Fran-cs1vy]

I used to listen to the Sunday pub quiz. I can still hear the noise of the wrong answers.

[@Bruce-vq7ni]

But DLT is clearly a Nonse. Qack Qack Oops.. Darts on the radio.

[@ramabhardwaj2363]

I grew up listening to DLT (Hairy cornflake !!!) Lovely to hear him back on the air .

[@callslandingtechnomafia6352]

Absolute fucking legend, the world is a better place with DLT back on the airwaves.

[@dranjanchatterjee5018]

A great connect with our most favorite DJ from our growing years. Very glad that he is absolved of all charges and that DLT has begun his life afresh. God Bless DLT.

Coincidentally they are after Alex Belfield now.

[@deedee-tc4fh]

Not as bad as they have done to Alex.. Big Bro Co is the pits

[@gold27b]

He brought a lot of happiness to a lot of listeners. For me it was a “A jolly good show” on the BBC World Service. I always tuned in on short wave listening to the latest hits and some jolly talk. It was a connection with England. Makes you a little homesick but was necessary for sanity.

[@jasonsmith902]

A DLT documentary would be good, he was on the pirate ships at 18, he presented the Beat Club etc

[@neilgriffiths3042]

Nice to hear his pleasant voice, grew up with him as a listener . One of the best hosts around . Met him a few years ago and was very amenable .

[@PeterPanoramics]

The Hairy Monster , the best DJ ever to actually talk serious and camp whilst multitasking playing records, I remember driving back home from Scarborough back to Halifax totally engrossed in his final live broadcast

[@GardeningForProfit]

I have DLT to thank for finding videos of Sharon Tandy performing on German TV. He was one of the best DJs of his generation. Made a scapegoat. Saw him in Ikea Milton Keynes a few years ago. I wish I had gone over and said hello but he was with his wife and I didn't want to bother him.

[@Zx-ln1lk]

DLT I was brought up with you on the radio all I can is thank you .

[@711honved]

DLT was one of the joys of Radio One back in the day it had millions of listeners. He was always a big, tactile character but unfortunately didn't see the arrival of the highly charged, PC, compensation culture.

[@thetragicyouth]

Yeah, because grabbing women's breasts was always just a bit of fun....

[@joesophie90]

I remember also listening to DLT on Magic AM, in 2012, just before his life was changed forever and he was taken off the airwaves. He played a track by Deniece Williams - Its Gonna Take A Miracle, which I'd never heard before and when I listen to it, I always think of where I first heard it played - on DLT's Sunday morning show on Magic.

[@grantgrove6800]

Good luck Dave. I have always been a fan.

[@johnmclean1046]

I heard so many different great artists listening to DLT and he was so entertaining

[@indibhart5731]

He was victimised by the whole Saville thing. Move on and keep doing what you do best DLT.

[@andyhinds542]

I always loved his Radio 1 Saturday and Sunday shows because he is passionate about music and played some great music that wasn't on the playlist.

[@andymanning9573]

I will be brilliant to have you back on the airwaves Mr DLT 👍 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎵 👍

[@ramabhardwaj2363]

Have to say what a great radio voice !!!

[@BRUTUALTRUTH]

Loads of charges against and all found not guilty - the man in innocent and this is from someone who has no time for predators who should be locked-up for good.

[@terryvideo1]

Society and the cowardly authorities don't know how to handle the perverted form of justice that pervades our lives today.. People so afraid not to do 'The right thing' as they perceive it to be. Common sense then takes a back-seat. DLT has to be one of THE best DJ's out there and I owe him a lot of love. Brought me the greatest sounds I ever enjoyed. Thanks Mr T.

[@stuartsmall7776]

TO Dave I am happy you are coming back to radio from stuart small

[@exgren]

You mean Stuart hall surely ?

[@mikebills9343]

Always loved DLT and his favourite song , Albatross 👍🏻

[@gary8699]

Good luck Dave

[@richardlamb2551]

I know Dave he’s a great bloke! Same age as me as well always moaning about his back Lol! He used to have an old Audi that didn’t help so we told him change ya car Dave ,so he bought a 4 wd bigger and more comfortable! What they did to him was cruel the people that accused him need to be inside theirselves evil bastards, he touched no one and I for one believe him ! Power to ya Cornflake ✊✊

[@thefurrybastard1964]

DLT is awesome, always has been always will be!

[@robertmartin9344]

Hi Dave You were my favorite DJ when you and dangerous used to be on the radio every Saturday and sunday morning, it was great, you used to brighten up my mornings. What a miss you are. Good luck to you.

[@brandycat8513]

Good on him, psychological punishment way out of proportion to any alleged crime. Victim of his own well-deserved fame maybe.

[@richardlamb2551]

Just to add not a lot of people know Dave used to race at Santa Pod raceway with his dragster great driver won a few races as well also had a great Hot Rod .

[@NewRootsHairUK]

Hope he's okay we miss him. Voice still the sames.

[@switchingpro4194]

welcome back hairy monster

[@chobbler]

DLT The Hairy Monster 👍

[@deedee-tc4fh]

He used to have a section of his show where he had ambiguous lyrics with a story attached which you had to work out, on a Saturday and the answer the following week (from memory). I remember to this day a long story which had me thinking all week for the answer Colin Lands 2 pence on Inter Planner Terry's Craft.. No prizes for guessing which song..

[@somebloke5565]

DLT compered Mentmore village fete one year. A true pro. Bugger all there, how could there be? Somehow he made it entertaining. Christ knows how, yet he did.

[@Markjuk]

With DLT about to return to the airwaves on United DJ's, why are the bastions of "fairness, anti-discrimination and bias" known as the BBC, still continuing to "airbrush" him from TOTP repeats on BBC Four? We are about to see 1982 again from next week, with his editions STILL absent from the re-runs. In my (and a fair few others') opinion, there is no continued justification for this stance by the BBC. Do they not realise they also acting unlawfully discriminating against someone who has a "spent" conviction?

[@vordman]

DLT has been treated abysmally. The BBC are hypocrites. Others who have committed far more serious offences, Boy George for kidnapping and imprisonment, Leslie Grantham a murderer, are still shown on BBC.

[@zackspaulding]

Great DJ that got the 21st-century tragic plastic treatment.

[@stephenjames4937]

Good luck to him. He's paid his debt and deserves to make a living.

[@michaelgamble6476]

try bringing a similar case against a women who has done much worse to a male the cops will do absolutely nothing. total uk injustice

[@kernowarty]

For balance are you going to interview those that complained about him?

[@MrSmeg17]

Lucy Porter has already made a comedy routine about her alleged traumatic experience at the "hands" of DLT

[@ChrisATV301]

There were radio stations called Caroline. Veronica & there was GEM AM & Gem 106 like named after it like Gemma & there was a radio Jackie so why not have one called RHIANNE Radio Heaven Is Always Nostalgic & Never Ending. How good would that be ?

[@notused.]

Good gracious. When did Alex Belfield become toxic. I can't believe that this was him

[@stevengilbert8020]

[@vince6219]

Love DLT... So many happy memories of the 70s, when radio was great, not the miss mash crap of today.

[@mayhem492]

Compare the charges against DLT to the charges against Boy George, then how they have both been treated by ‘the industry’ and the media, then ponder “why?”.

[@Dim4323]

DLT was gotcha by noel

[@tonyajsmith8829]

Loved DLT . Jumped ship before Mathew Bannister sacked him . Amazing piece of Radio when he left on air . Smashie & Nicey were funny because it was true .We all listened or knew DJ'S who were dated & stuck in a loop . The great cull of radio 1 was TEN years too late . Thus watching Top Of The Pops in 1982 the radio 1 guys were there in the crowd looking like their dad or favorite uncle .Shame really because they sound great on radio but look old on TV .

[@chriswalker8844]

I still like his sandwiches

[@kernowarty]

How did you get the bad back Dave?

I rember him well , he was an arrogant ego maniac like most DJs ,never understood why they were treated with such reverence, all they did was play records ,he groped women , Belfield's simpering style is so awful ,Travis talking about abuse of secretaries with no sense of irony .

[@davidrobertspence2667]

Just the tip of a disgusting iceberg of abuse

[@kernowarty]

United Dinosaur radio

[@voice.of.reason]

6:55 that attack on President Trump and the people who voted for him ie, most of America - was uncalled for by DLT. I've lost respect for DLT now, and why did Alex laugh at that?
