Trevor Nelson - 30 Years at the BBC

Jo Whiley sits down with Trevor Nelson to mark 30 years of his remarkable broadcasting career at the BBC.

Through music and archive moments, Trevor reflects on what joining the BBC meant to him, from his early days at Radio 1 in 1996 to the work he’s doing today. He reveals how he almost turned down a new Radio 1 show, shares some of his favourite 1Xtra Live Lounge moments, and looks back on the experiences that have defined his journey.

Along the way, Trevor recalls interviewing some of the biggest stars in the world, revisits the weird and wonderful TV shows he’s been part of, and shares unforgettable stories — from his most diva day and a memorable trip to Memphis, to interviewing Jay-Z in a cupboard and even making Mariah Carey wait for him on a plane — before offering a glimpse of the exciting projects still to come at Radio 2.
