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.

Amanda fell into radio in 1986 when she answered an advert for someone who could publicise community groups and ended up on the Careline.

Since then, she has worked for nearly all of the commercial stations in the East Midlands and also for a national station where she did the Breakfast show for three years. Not a natural early riser, she found the 0400 wake ups a real challenge.

She has been lucky enough to meet some great and unusual people and her oddest radio moments include waiting for Sir Roger Moore to come out of a gingerbread house, having her shirt photographed by Rod Stewart and singing King of the Swingers to a very startled Kim Wilde. 

Alongside radio, Amanda has also worked in a homeless hostel, as a CAB manager, a nanny, a helpline operator, a volunteer coordinator and for a magazine about canals and riverboats - amongst others. 

She is married to the long suffering Steve and has two grown up children, Joseph and Susannah. 

Her home is a bit of a minature zoo. One of her proudest achievements is that she has taught her cockatiels to whistle the theme tune to The Flumps.

You can listen to Amanda Bowman, Sunday - Thursday evenings from 10pm until 1am.
