4:51Now PlayingIn one corner, it’s dinner-jacketed drumming DJ Frank Peacock, in the other, BBC pop personality Jimmy Young. Who would you rather spend your morning listening to?
It’s hardly a fair competition. Young straddles the British airwaves with his team of producers, Frank has his budgie help him pick out records to play in his garden. Jimmy has smoothly scripted radio patter, pensioner Frank has the pitter-patter of the drum set on which he plays along to the songs.
And as the final ignominy, Frank has to face off against the Bavarian brass band that play in the park opposite his garden. Come on, Frank! Get paradiddling!
