Several years before BBC Radio Five Live was created, Eric Idle created it himself. His version was a parody of BBC radio, broadcast on BBC Radio 1 between 1973 and 1974.
In Radio Five, Idle performs and writes nearly everything, performing whole conversations on his own and parodying the shows of the day.
