Welcome To Wally's World !

This is the personal BLOG of Wally Webb.

Some years ago there was much speculation that he'd been part of the inspiration behind Steve Coogans character of Alan Partridge. (see associated links below). That's why BBC 6-o-clock News interviewed Wally at the Premier of Papa Alpha when Wally filmed with "Alan" for the BBC website.

Unlike Partridge, Wally is still on air regularly for the BBC. Based at the BBC East studios at the Forum in Norwich he broadcasts Monday to Friday. From 4am to 6am. The Show is regional and includes the BBC Stations of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and 3CR for Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire and then from 6am it's just Norfolk. To join in you can phone 0845 30 50 007, text 813-33 starting your message with the word - WALLY. or e-mail from the link top left.

Wally has worked for BBC Radio Norfolk since the Station first opened in September 1980. In that time he's hosted many different Shows but has always enjoyed getting up early.

After 0630 Wally then takes the Radio Car across Norfolk to report on anything of interest to the listeners of Breakfast With Nicky Price (6.30 -9am). Check out the Radio Car by going to the Video Library.
This site contains numerous video's of Wally's different activities and interests (see Video Library link below) as well as features from his Shows. If you would like to see something appear on this site, e-mail your request to Wally and it may well appear on this BLOG. Enjoy your visit and do come back regularly to keep up with Wally.

Taken at the same time as the other pic of Wally and Noel when Noel's House Party was at its peak. Until then no-one had actually approached Mr.B but Wally dared and won! You really don't want to know about his personal hygene though !!
