Tim Westwood's excellent Alan Partridge impression

It was one of the all-time great DJ handovers of all time. Except not in a good way. Monkey wonders if Tim Westwood – him again – and his BBC Radio 1 (and 1Xtra) colleague MistaJam get on that well. We only mention this after the exchange between the pair on the big dawg's 1Xtra drivetime show. "The man who stole the jam out of my donut ... Mr Jam," began Westwood. "Good evening Tim, how you doing?" "Start the stopwatch ... what's happening?" "What's good with you?" "Big tunes." "You've actually got another minute 10 [seconds] left." "That's all right I don't need it." "What about 1Xtra live?" "What about 1Xtra live?" "You blasted off from Radio 1, do you want to tell us about that?" "I blasted off from Radio 1..." Well, you get the idea. It started off badly and got worse. Listen for yourself after two hours and 44 minutes. Any resemblance to this is entirely coincidental.
