(contracted; show full)Radio 1, however, is the Sunday lunchtime show ''Jimmy Savile's Old Record Club'', where entire top tens from years gone by were played. The format was similar to [[Alan Freeman]]'s ''[[Pick of the Pops]]'' show. It began in 1973 (initially called ''The Double Top Ten Show'') and ended in 1987, at which point he left Radio 1 after 19 years.

From 1989 to 1997 he was heard on various stations around the UK (mostly taking the [[Oldies|Gold
]] format, such as the West Midlands' [[Xtra AM]] and the original [[Classic Gold]] network in Yorkshire) where he revived his Radio 1 shows. 

In 1994, satirist [[Chris Morris (satirist)|Chris Morris]] [[List of premature obituaries|announced]] on BBC Radio 1 (as a joke) that Savile had collapsed and died, which allegedly drew threats of legal action from Savile and forced an apology from Morris.
