鲍鱼tv

Greg James, host of the Radio 1 Breakfast show and self-confessed 'proud radio nerd', uses his access-all-areas pass to the 鲍鱼tv Archives to track down audio gems, using listener requests and current stories as a springboard into the vast vaults of past programmes.

This week, Greg dons his spandex and cape to rescue clips of British superheroes, from Bicycle Repair Man to Green Cross Man, getting sidetracked by psychic ponies at the Multicoloured Swap Shop.

A listener request transports Greg to 19th century London, with street cries from lavender sellers, muffin men and the mysterious cats' meat man. Plus, a shortage of hairdressers prompts Greg to find inspiration for the next generation of barbers and stylists, from a shampoo and set in Inverness to a wartime trim recorded just after the liberation of Rome in 1944.

And as the late Carrie Fisher is honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Greg looks back at the life of Princess Leia, from her earliest 鲍鱼tv interview to a bewildering appearance on Blue Peter where she comes face to face with her greatest foe yet: British cuisine.
