Radio Demos

BRMB Birmingham - Listen  KISS 100 London - Listen
Image

Taken from Tim’s time presenting Tim’s Confessions and Late and Live on Capital’s BRMB.

ImageTwo weeks cover on Kiss 100 Breakfast in London, Christmas to new Year 2006
   
XFM London  - Listen Kerrang! Radio - Listen

ImageAn example of one of the demos Tim has been asked to make

ImageTim Shaw’s Asylum has won 5 New York Global Awards. Two golds, two silvers and a bronze – all for comedy.

Wind-Up Phone Calls 

Tim Calls 118 118  - Listen Fun with the family - Listen
Image

Who else is awake at this time!? The 118 operators have now told Tim and team that they will sue if further ridicule occurs! Here is one of the more tame examples.

ImageA new phone system was installed at Kerrang - a system where you can get up to 20 people on hold at the same time! This was naturally abused on day one. Have a listen and be warned!
   
The Nan "I'm dead" call  - Listen The Nan "BJ" call - Listen

ImageA mistake of enormous proportions. A call that was rated number 2 in the global radio wind-ups. Tim’s Nan had a new hearing aid fitted and Tim was persuaded to test it out.

ImageYou should never develop a relationship like this with relatives. Remember that grandparents have done all the stuff you’ve done…. and worse! Just not at this age please, Nan…

Show Features

Tim's Answerphone  - Listen  Do us a favour fatbloke - Listen
Image

Everyday the show producers download your messages from Tim’s personal mobile phone answering machine. He gave out his mobile number as a dare one day and this feature has stayed ever since!

ImageThe idea is to try and borrow as much money as possible from friends and family. The aim is to hit them with a sob story (made up by listeners) that can be fixed with large sums of money! Once the loan has been secured the money is given out as a prize.
   
Evesdroppings - Listen The Girl Next Door - Listen

ImageAn American guest is on the show being interviewed. The phone lines go down and the guest overhears a personal attack! Another great way to mash up the yanks! The idea is to get the guest back on the show after the abuse. Funny.

ImageYou should never develop a relationship like this with relatives. Remember that grandparents have done all the stuff you’ve done…. and worse! Just not at this age please, Nan…
   
Glaze U Like  - Listen The Little Boot - Listen

ImageDouble Glazing through the night. Deals worth waking up for. We operate between the hours of 2-4 am every day of the week. As featured on Watchdog (due to the number of complaints! Yeeeessss).

ImageThe original little girl wind-up before it was ripped off by everyone! A four-year-old girl rings people and insults them in as many ways as possible!
   
The Old Boot & Little Boot - Listen Love thy Neighbour - Listen

ImageThe little boot’s grandma, the Old Boot (who needs no introduction) occasionally joins in on a wind-up with her grand daughter! The callers’ reactions are frankly priceless. Our favourite feature!

ImageYou should never develop a relationship like this with relatives. Remember that grandparents have done all the stuff you’ve done…. and worse! Just not at this age please, Nan…
   
Off Air Winner - Listen My Prizes - Listen

ImageRadio has killed prize winning. Fed up of hearing a winner go hysterical having won a CD single, we came up with a novel way to ridicule those other commercial stations who insist on the ‘Scream or get nothing’ method.

ImageAll radio presenters win their own prizes and risk being fired if caught. Isn’t it better to just make it part of the competition that the presenter can win?
   
Reverse Charge Game - Listen Dumped on air - Listen

ImageOne of the most ripped-off features since its creation. Putting a value on a friendship is the key. How much would a mate of yours pay to chat to you on a reverse charge call of exorbitant charges? Another Tim Shaw favourite.

ImageA way of getting back at those idiots that have the "I can do your job with my eyes shut" look on their faces. Guests are literally put on the mic and the studio is vacated for up to 5 minutes. Here is the audio from its first trial with the security guard – the legendary Fiddlas
   
Shut it Nan  - Listen Shut it Nan (Kiss 100) - Listen

ImageProbably the most well known feature. Tim’s Nan speaking until she realises that the line has gone dead and there is no one listening. The longest call once lasted 17 minutes before she asked Tim if he was still there then hung up.

ImageAn example of the above from the Kiss100 breakfast show in London when Tim stood in for the then breakfast show host Bam Bam!,
   
Turret FM - ListenThrough the weenhole - Listen

ImageAnother way to get one over on the Yanks! Making them believe that they are on a local Country and Western radio station somewhere in the US we can literally do whatever we want to them! Listeners get to choose which alter ego will mash them up!

ImageA clever way to make the audience realise just how good Kerrang / Kiss really is. Killing the endorphins in your blood stream is easy with 90’s dance music, then they are reproduced thanks to a great rock track! This became a daily diet on the Kerrang Breakfast show.
   
Textual Intercourse - ListenThe Evil Boot - Listen

ImageAn hourly feature from the Asylum. An alternative way of dealing with current affairs and issues of everyday life!

ImageSometimes the Little Boot turns, we never know when she's goint to do it... But it's not nice! If you've had the misfortune to hear the evil boot before you'll know what we mean...

Examples of Tim’s alternative outlook on life

Tim is not the most conventional of thinkers and speakers, as these examples show……
