Donny Donaldson Talks to Tim Horsley

Voiceover Tunaville FM, playing the best mix of the 80's, 90's and today.

Donny Welcome to 'Six of the best ' and by public demand we are joined this week by controversial Hi-Fi shop owner and Rover's footballer Mr. Tim Horsley. How are you doing Tim ?

Tim Very good thank you and it's a real pleasure to be here to give me a chance to set the record straight on various issues.

Donny On then with your first choice, which is 'Shipbuilding' by Elvis Costello. I sort of guessed it might be you who plays this in the 'Rose and Crown'.

Tim That's right and please listen out on this track for the fuglehorn solo - very good..........

Donny Lovely track - good choice Tim. Now how's the shop doing ?

Tim Very good indeed - very busy at the moment, unlike the shop next door to me - that Mr. Dodd keeps popping in and out to see what I'm up to. I haven't seem him have a customer in ages - not that I'm looking mind, I've got too much on my plate at present. I don't think he understands the 'sales game' if you ask me..

Donny Your second choice is one from Vangelis.

Tim Yes I like this - it was used in a coffee advert you know.

Donny You're so knowledgable Tim on a whole range of subjects.

Tim Oooh yes. (Said in a strange accent)

Voiceover "It's Donny thru the night.... Tunaville FM"

Donny So how's your new girl friend Tim ?

Tim Beautiful plumage

Donny I'm Sorry ?

Tim No she's settled down well now and has managed to get some part-time work down at the Beautician's.

Donny A place you frequent yourself I understand for your various sporting injuries ?

Tim Yes it's very good, though some of the women in there have had so many facelifts that everytime they smile they pull their knickers up !

..... Hysterical studio laughter.....

Donny Oh Tim... you're so original - let's take a breather and play you're third choice "The lamb lies down' by Genesis.

Donny Welcome back and in case you're just tuning in we are talking with the very amusing Mr. Tim Horsley. I have got to ask you one specific question Tim..

Tim And if I answer it correctly will I win a 'beautiful nest of tables' ?

..... More hysterical studio laughter.....

Donny No, seriously Tim, I was going to ask you to comment of the recent allegations regarding your supposed eating binges ?

Tim Ah, yes that. Well, I suppose it has to be said that I am a bit partial to the odd cream cake now and again.

Donny Well yes, I was specifically referring to the rumour that you were seen scavenging around the dustbins at the back of Anne's Tea rooms recently, searching for old bits of pudding etc. Is that really normal behaviour, do you think ?

Tim Oooh yes. I used to be a dessert rat, you know !

..... uproarious studio laughter.....

Donny We'll have to come back again once we have played your next track..... 'Wondrous stories' from Yes

Donny We're back again... the question was related to your controversial sending off and susequent ban.

Tim It was stupid, I realise that now and fortunately my family and friends were very supportive. I have promised to clean up my act.

Donny But you have by your own admission a problem with the drink, particularly extra strength lager - why do you do it?

Tim The drinking of extra strength lager you mean ? - 10,000 tramps can't be wrong !

..... More hysterical studio laughter.....

Donny Quick here's your fifth track .... one from the 'Wish you were here' album by Pink Floyd.

Donny And we're talking, or should I say laughing, with Tim Horsley. What will you do with yourself on a Saturday afternoon, now that you are suspended ?

Tim Well I'll still turn up and support the boys. It'll be fun to take the piss, (sorry can I say that on radio ?) out of my colleagues. I know some great one-liners that will upset them.

Donny I'm sure you do Tim and knowing you, you'll bring the house down. It's truly been one of the funniest times of my life talking with you tonight. Here's your final track, one from the Clash.

Donny And with that it's time to wrap up tonight's show, so it's good night from me.

Tim And it's good night from him.

..... More hysterical studio laughter.....
