3/8. Terry Wogan is among the guests as Stephen Fry looks at the impact that radio stars have had on both their own medium and television. Why does radio still appeal to TV stars such as Jonathan Ross, Michael Parkinson, Ricky Gervais and Terry Wogan? Radio Stars also examines how rock 'n' roll and pirate radio led to the birth of Radio 1, the celebrity DJ and egomania. Plus how radio has constantly fed television with new formats and fresh shows. Featuring Clive James, Dave Lee Travis, Ed Stewart, Mike Smith, Tony Blackburn, Simon Mayo, Johnnie Walker, Jimmy Savile, David Jacobs, Eric Sykes, Simon Dee, Annie Nightingale, Christian O'Connell, Barry Cryer, David Jensen, Emperor Rosko and Mark Radcliffe.
