About this episode

(Woo!) Gary Davies lives in a 4-storey townhouse. Which is a lot of stairs. He explains why light coloured carpet in high traffic areas is actually fine (clue: it’s someone else’s job to clean it) and why he didn’t mind getting rid of his extensive vinyl collection.

Producer: Lyndsay Fenner
Executive Producer: Steve Austins
Editor: Adam Whalley

A Bengo Media original production.

About the guest
Gary hosts BBC Radio 2’s Sounds of the 80s Show. He found his love for presenting over 20 years ago on Radio One and Top Of The Pops. He is also a DJ who knows how to make music ignite a crowd.
