Who is Adrian Juste?
Adrian Juste is an English former disc jockey who once presented a Saturday lunchtime show on BBC Radio 1.
After attending Guthlaxton Grammar School, Wigston and jobs as a mechanic and salesman, he began his radio career with Leicester's local BBC station in 1969, moving to Birmingham's BRMB as the Breakfast Show presenter and then moved to Radio 1 in 1977 and began his weekend shows in April 1978.
The format of his Radio 1 show consisted of Juste playing clips from various classic comedy sketches, interspersed with his own puns and short sketches, between music tracks. His selection of classic comedy clips was at times quite complex, and intricately produced, using material from a wide variety of sources edited into one sequence. Controversially, he produced an audio tape in the style of his show which was used as a promotional aid by the Conservative Party.
Juste was sacked from Radio 1 in 1994. Juste was amongst the veteran DJs who were sacked during the early 1990s of Radio 1 by the controller Matthew Bannister, a decision he bitterly railed against in a subsequent BBC television documentary on the history of the radio station.
