Lesson 17

My name's Chris Boudidge. I'm the DJ and Quiz Master for Elvis Week this and every year - been doing it since about '92.

My job is mainly to get the quizzes up together. We have a bit of a laugh on the TV and do the discos all night until we actually fall down, or we're carried out, or the police come and take us away, or something like that.

I've been reading and studying and listening to his music, so doing the discos and things like that is just an extension of being an Elvis fan, really, it sort of brings it to the masses a bit more.

I am a big Elvis fan - I think you have to be; otherwise you wouldn't be able to play something like 8 hours of Elvis music and be different. It does pay to be an Elvis fan. I've been an Elvis fan for 23 years now. Since he died, in fact.

I was seven when Elvis died - it was as if the world stopped spinning. And everything was Elvis - everywhere you went.
