BBC Radio Derby

Phil Trow's Breakfast Show

All the latest news, travel, weather and sport with Phil.

Phil started his radio career in the Midlands in 1986 and has since worked with everyone from Robbie Williams to Emily Bishop! 

However, for his first foray into the world of breakfast on BBC Radio Derby, he was renamed Phil Snow as he sat in during the bad weather in the early part of 2010.

Phil achieved a number one single in Staffordshire, the 'Telethon Rap'. He was also served his tea by Robbie - when the pop superstar in waiting was on work experience at his radio station! 

He joined BBC Radio Manchester in 1990 (when it was BBC GMR) where he interviewed his most daunting guest to date - Margaret Thatcher. 

He also carelessly lost the Lord Mayor down the back of a massive inflatable frog! He was part of the team that won a Sony Radio award for coverage of the IRA bomb attack in Manchester. The explosion happened while Phil was on-air. 

He was also a regular presenter on the BBC North West Children in Need TV show. 

Phil diversified in the 90's and became the 'warm-up' man for Children's BBC, working on programmes like 'Live and Kicking' and 'Get your own back' - he says he still has the gunge stains. 

He has also pruned roses with Alan Titchmarsh and made lasagne with Gordon Ramsay. 

Phil has tried his hand at acting, appearing in Coronation Street and in panto. He even played 'Gary Lineker' in the stage play 'An evening with ...'. 

He joined BBC Radio Lancashire in 2004 and last year headed back to the Midlands to present various programmes for BBC Radio Derby.

Aleena Naylor presents a special Bank Holiday edition of the Breakfast Show.

Aleena Naylor's Morning Show

A mix of lifestyle, showbiz, consumer and food and drink features, with great guests.

Having arrived at BBC Radio Derby in the 1990s on a work placement, Aleena always fancied working on mid-morning as a producer, so went off to study journalism. 

But fate lent a hand and she arrived on the other side of the studio glass as a presenter. 

After almost three years on the lunchtime show, she was relieved to be able to eat her sandwich at a more leisurely pace, rather then getting indigestion during the one o'clock news. 

However, her passion for good food followed her into the programme, with regular appearances from guest chefs and celebrity cooks. 

In fact she's determined to celebrate the things that unite us all, from eating and sleeping to the place we call home, but Aleena believes the spice of life lies in the differences between us - and it's an area she's keen to explore. 

We thought her knowledge of Derbyshire and East Staffordshire was bordering on the encyclopaedic, but she says she's keen to expand it even further on the mid-morning programme. 

On Sundays, Aleena presents Take Two - a collection of highlights from BBC Radio Derby's last seven days. 

Outside of work Aleena and her partner are keen scuba divers, exploring wrecks and reefs around the UK coast and love to take their black Labrador long walks in the Peak.
