Peter Powell (Saturday 8.0 am) continues his commitment to International Youth Year with a report from Kenya this week. When we spoke, Peter and producer Chris Lycett were preparing to fly to Africa to join a party of Venture Scouts from Bolton who had raised £23,000 (including £1,000 from a Radio 1 charity disco) to construct 60 water tanks around the village of Iiuni near Nairobi. Peter says: 'It's unknown territory for me and it certainly proves that Radio 1 doesn't just sit on its bottom and play pop music all day'.
'All the young dudes'. Bloody Sunday, disaster at the Munich Olympics and one million unemployed. 'Bye bye, Miss American Pie'. Hello 'Ziggy Stardust', Gary Glitter and 'Virginia Plain'.
