He presented 'Midday Spin' on Radio 1 when it opened in 1967 causing quite a stir at the station with his long hair and colourful clothes. During the early seventies he presented a very successful Saturday morning show 'Noise at Nine' with over 11 million listeners.

His weekly pop show included a spot requesting missing youngsters to get in touch with their parents. Some listeners however thought his speech impedement due to MS was caused by drink or drugs and he was sacked by Radio 1 management in the 1974 DJ shake-up.

He then moved to Radio Luxembourg where he presented various night time record shows. Later he was joined on air by his wife Ollie. Radio Luxembourg told Stuart that as long as he was able to talk he would always have a job with the station.

Sadly, Stuart died at his Luxembourg home in 1995 after a long battle with multiple sclerosis.
