Dreadful case and the consequences of a trigger happy kid. Mind you, loads of people kept guns and grenades after the war, didn't they?

David Alan "Kid" Jensen (born 4 July 1950) is a Canadian-born British radio DJ. In 1976 he joined the BBC's pop network, Radio 1, initially hosting a Saturday morning show from 10am-midday, but sitting in for many other DJs, and eventually graduating to a weekday late afternoon/early evening show in the spring of 1978 from 4:30 to 7:00 pm. He kept his profile high through regular appearances presenting Top of the Pops, and championed many acts who went on to achieve huge commercial success, notably The Police and Gary Numan. In September 1980, Jensen left the BBC to work for the Turner Broadcasting System WTBS cable superstation in Atlanta, Georgia where he was host of the 10:00pm nightly news, but he returned a year later, presenting the Radio 1 weekday evening show from 8-10pm; later extended to run from 7-10 pm. Soon afterwards he dropped the "Kid" name, although he would still be popularly known by it for many years to come. His mid-evening show was dominated by indie-rock, but also featured interviews with mainstream acts such as Duran Duran, and was the first show to champion Frankie Goes to Hollywood, before their commercial success. He remained a regular Top of the Pops presenter and struck up a famous partnership with John Peel. He also wrote a pop column for the Daily Mirror. The first DJ to play The Fall on daytime radio.
