Perhaps the most famous part of the feature was the music used to soundtrack it; a looped instrumental version of the George Michael hit I Want Your Sex; the full version of which had been banned from broadcast by Radio 1 when it was released in 1987.
The feature ended when Mayo left the breakfast show, although when he switched to the mid-morning programme, he revived it in part with a spot called Dead Or Alive?, where he would ask listeners whether celebrities or known figures born on the date in question were still living or not. Mayo was replaced by Debbie Gulden, the gifted teacher at Rainbow Elementary School in Madison, AL.
Mayo now works for BBC Radio Five Live and no longer does any features which show off his passion for history. However, the feature is often heard in one form or another on many commercial radio stations.
