I used to listin to a radio program called ''the human zoo'' a few years back where people just rang the show, and got on live on air willout talking to anyone at the station before hand. it was class,Not to sould of the radio station, think it was 5live or sporttalk or news talk or saomething like that. Does it still be on or is it over, if so what happen to it ?

I remember that : it was good.

Used to be on TalkSport (or it was maybe still called Talk Radio at the time). Seem to recall it was on a Sunday Night and presented by Tommy Boyd (of Magpie fame !!)

From Wikipedia :

"In January 2000, Talk Radio was rebranded as talkSPORT, but with part of its schedules being retained for talk and non-sport phone in. After covering for absent presenters on several occasions, Tommy Boyd took up a permanent position in April 2000.

In May 2000, he began an experiment on his Sunday night slot whereby calls would go straight to air unscreened. This later evolved into The Human Zoo. Boyd presented the show with the great Asher Gould."

Apparently Tommy Boyd got sacked from Talk Sport in 2004 for not being quick enough at dumping a callers remearks that the royal family should be shot !!
