Radio DJ Andy Greener filled his breakfast show with witty banter, chat about the news and the all-important weather... but for an hour nobody heard a word of it.

He thought he was broadcasting to his loyal listeners as usual, but because he forgot to press a button in the Radio Teesdale studio, his carefully-composed thoughts disappeared into the ether.

Instead, fans of his show heard 60 minutes of music and jingles as an automated back-up system kicked in to prevent radio silence.
