The Steve Show

Goggled-eyed Freak

The Steve Show is the unofficial name for Steve's new show on BBC 6 Music, which started in January 2007. He is joined by his friends Dan, Harry, and occasionally Rufus who are, in the best possible sense, nobodies. The show is more music based than the Xfm Shows, although there is still banter, and we see the return of features that were first seen in the Xfm years, such as Hip-Hop Hooray and Cover Cover Man (formerly known as Cover Me Up). However, the show has introduced many of its own unique features such as Songs to Seduce Women By and 'The Fiendishly Difficult Music Question'.
