Join David Jakson on BBC Radio Nottingham.

David is a Nottinghamshire lad born and bred with a great passion for sport and the best job in the world.

He grew up in Arnold, playing for the school football team as a centre forward and as a scrum half for the school rugby team. 

David also played football for the largely unsuccessful Basford Boys, winning just one match in two years. Their record defeat was 19-2. 

Having listened to BBC Radio Notttingham's sports coverage every week as a youngster, he joined the station in 2000 and has produced and/or presented just about every show at some point over the years. 

Apart from sport, David's passions include films (he's a Woody Allen fan), and reading (Kazuo Ishiguro is amongst his favourite authors).

Join John Holmes on BBC Radio Nottingham. John came to Nottingham as a Mining Engineering student and stayed.

He met his wife, Kate, in The Salutation, whilst she was working as a nurse at Mapperley Hospital. They married and now have an expanding family of three grown-up children and four granddaughters - he is working towards a netball team. 

John first broadcast on BBC Radio Nottingham in April 1970. 

He was particularly fortunate to find himself at BBC Radio Nottingham as a sports reporter in the halcyon days of the late 1970s when Forest were winning European Cups under Clough and Taylor; Rice and Hadlee were playing for Nottinghamshire Cricket Club and Torvil And Dean were conquering the world with their ice dance. 

He went on to front the legendary Saturday Rock Music show 'Extravaganza' and present Radio Nottingham's Mid-Morning, Afternoon and Breakfast shows. 

Life at the BBC

In 2009 John celebrated 40 years with the BBC. His career began at the home of British radio, Broadcasting House in London, working alongside household names like Sam Costa, Victor Sylvester, Humphrey Lyttelton and Status Quo. He also did a spell in Birmingham on spot effects for The Archers. 

He worked in Bristol where he produced Down Your Way, Any Questions and, alongside Jonathan Dimbleby, launched Any Answers as a phone-in. He also had a satisfying spell working in the world famous Natural History Unit. 

His TV work began on 'Look! Hear!' a youth show with Toyah Wilcox. He also presented one of the BBC's first consumer series; BBC2's Inside Information. 

Life in Nottingham

John now presents the Sunday Mid-morning Show on BBC Radio Nottingham and is often rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. 

But he is keen to stress that his average day is not all glamour. 

He is a founder and Chairman of the skin cancer charity, SKCIN.
