"Played his last record, RIP"

Loved his shows. Amusing fun in the afternoon. Trivia b4 QI. Posee and team introduced some great comedians. Solid do one

A shit DJ who played shit music

"I was reading an article about him and had some recent photos, fuck me he had let himself go? remember him a skinny bloke with glasses, well not anymore, double chin and huge gut, looked like a heart attack waiting to happen which i would suspect is what has happened given how sudden it was. Still sad, and remember him well, as kids we used to be always quoting stuff off his show, Mr Angry, get some therapy etc."

I use to think that steve wright in the afternoon was his full name.

Not really a big fan of his shows but still a shame he has passed away for those who did enjoy them and of course his loved ones. Definitely came out of the blue this one. R.I.P.

"Sad news, was a bit of a legend. His popular afternoon show immediately transports you back to less complicated and in most cases better times. Seems to have come out the blue, and no news of what happened to him which seems to be par for the course these days. RIP."

"Innovative and very talented presenter, loved his content and will be sadly missed. RIP."

That would be Simon Bates. Would have preferred him to have pegged it

Our tune..

Used to like his afternoon show 69 isn't remotely old

"Proper shock, that. Enjoyed his shows."

He's definitely not alright.

"That is sad, didnt think he was as old as he was though, 69. Steve Wright In The Afternoon was part of my yoof and growing up listening to his show. Get some therapy! RIP"

"RIP, happy days at work every day listening to him and his mates back in the late 80s in Dagenham. BBC radio used to be the best in the world."

"Used to like him then he went up himself with his so called ""posse"", still I did like Mr Angry from Purley and old woman Nevertheless RIP Steve Wright"

"Terrible news, Steve was right at the top of his game for many years, and you couldn't help laughing along when he had all his 'crew' in the studio with him. Old Lady, Sid the Manager, Mr Mad... a whole array of characters we will never forget. Gone WAY too soon. RIP Steve. ""Yesh yesh yesh... Sid 'ere... (*parp) Oooh, scuse ME..!"" ""Ello? Ello boy, Mr Maad here... Ay, I'll tell yooo ooz maaad, brrr brrr...! ... ... Ello?"

Shocked .

Shocked .

Spent many an hour listening to his afternoon show in my youth (forty years ago!!!)

"Sad news, used to like his afternoon show as well."

"Ah, that's a shame* *I have the option to change this point of view if he turns out to be a wrong 'un"

Fucking shit news. Used to love the Steve Wright In The Afternoon show. RIP

Bloody shock that. RIP
