David Sheppard

Don't miss your chance to miss The David Sheppard Experience every Sunday on BBC Radio Berkshire.

Keen as mustard but not as hot as horse-radish. Add a little David Sheppard to your yorkshire pudding and gravy every Sunday lunchtime as he guides Berkshire through all the very best smooth music to ease you into the afternoon.

Join him for some lively lunchtime banter and the favourite songs you haven't heard for ages.

Including at 1 o'clock, The Gardening Hour with Colin Evans. Berkshire's leading horticulturist joins David to take your calls, answer your e-mail and text questions and deliver some top gardening tips for the green-fingered amongst you.

He'll also seek you out whenever one of the 'People you Know' takes a holiday, so he's never lurking far from your radio...

What makes you laugh?

"People, and the things they do. One man's quirk is another man's norm, so you're never far from a chuckle in everyday life."

What’s your most embarrassing moment on air?

"Being interrupted by a power cut. People thought I'd been shot. A few were relieved when the power was restored."

David enjoying himself at the Newbury Show

Where is your favourite place in Berkshire?

"I grew up in Twyford and Wargrave, but I'm very fond of rural West Berkshire. Home to some wonderful pubs, and you can't beat the local brews."

What are your most memorable jobs before working for BBC Radio Berkshire?

"I was a Saturday-boy in my local supermarket, where the manager had a particular way of deciding who should work in each department. The younger lads would work in the maternal bosom of the milk aisle, the mischievous lads would stack the fizzy drinks, and the pretty girls would work on the tills.

"Young and studious, he put me in the Wine Department. But I occasionally got a go on the tills..."

What’s your favourite piece of music?

"Guy Marks' 'Loving You Has Made Me Bananas' - happy times."

You can still buy slush puppies. Our local Londis sells them and so does the bowling alley down at the point. Mind you, I used to work in an ice-cream parlor in Poole when I was much younger and if you were to see what they look like when they need cleaning, you would never drink another one. Revolting sludge in the bottom of the machine! Enjoy your next one!

Mavis
Thanks for your coverage of the Windsor Castle Tattoo. I am a member of the choir and feel priviledged to have been part of it. It has been an amazing experience and I admire all who took part.
