Radio 1 Adrian John + Cuizine
Adrian John is one of the best-known voices on UK radio - he was brought up in Kent from the aage of 9 when his parents moved to Beckenham.
The county is still home to Adrian today.
Adrian has a long and distinguished career in broadcasting.
Cutting his teeth on the QE2 ocean liner in the early 80s he quickly moved to Radio 1 where he presented the early morning breakfast slot.
As a regular on the station's road shows, his delivery was deemed ideal to a stint in television: Top Of The Pops soon came beckoning.
Following his time with Radio 1, Adrian moved on to Capital Gold and then to Saga FM.
Amusingly, his new appointment sees him right back where he started from: presenting a show that precedes Mike Read's.
Back in 1983, Adrian would hand over to Mike at 7am every weekday; in 2007 he'll now be doing the same, although at a slightly more civilised hour: 9am.
