As dawn breaks over London, Tony lies peacefully in bed, knowing that his alarm call will soon ring at 5am to wake him up for another day of work. The girl on the other end of the telephone playfully reminds him that it's time to go to work with a cheerful "Waky Waky Tony Love". Eager to start his day, Tony rises from bed and prepares himself for the exciting debut of BBC Radio One at 7am.
