David Gell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Gell was a Canadian DJ on the BBC Light Programme (prior to Radio One). In 1965 he presented the Top Ten Game, a midweek show which toured the country inviting audiences of 200 to vote for their favourite discs of the week. Each week David would play ten new releases, followed by the ten most popular songs from the previous week, together with a Second Chance Disc, which had previously been played but did not register enough votes to make the Top Ten. The show ran until it was dropped in early 1966. David had a warm, professional style, with strong audience rapport. Although well-known on the Light Programme he seemed to disappear without trace after the advent of Radio One.
