  Bruno Brookes at AllExperts
Brookes briefly lost the chart to Mark Goodier in 1990, but then regained it in 1992, though there was never an element of tension or competition between the two DJs, and both were equally proficient at the programme.
Brookes was referred to by Trevor Dann, Bannister's head of music as 'bestriding the earth like a behemoth, the biggest dinosaur of them all', despite the fact that he was only thirty-six years old (other culled DJs had been in their forties or fifties).
Brookes was involved for many years with TV presenter Anthea Turner but in a twist of irony, she left him for Peter Powell, the man whose gig had been taken by Brookes when he got his break.

She is not the innocent pixie you see on television." The slanging match erupted after Miss Turner published her book, Fools Rush In, in which she describes the damage to her wholesome image as a supposedly perfect marriage to Peter Powell, her manager, came apart with her adultery with Grant Bovey.
Pages were given over to a lurid insight into how she left Brookes to marry Powell in 1990 and became the second highest paid woman on television after Cilla Black, only to find that her marriage consisted of "rushed conversations and loveless nights - all work, work, work and no play".
She alleged that Brookes, 41, who now runs an internet business and theatrical agency, punched her on the jaw with a blow that sent her flying to the floor.

Sorry to hear that Bruno has suffered a heart attack, but glad to hear that he is recovering.
I thought this a bad idea at a time, as it relegated the Sunday show to effectively being a repeat (albeit a hi-fi one), and it wasn't long before the show revealing the new Top 30 reverted to emphasising Top 30 entries and the very top of the chart.
Bruno handed the show over to Mark Goodier for a year and a half, but then got it back for a short while until Mark took over for his second much longer stint which continued until November 2002.

Simon Bates actually stood in for Bruno on October 25 1992, and there was another of those "mistake" charts on February 28 1993, again not a great deal different to the real chart.
