Pat used to present MTV europe back when it was on only a few hours a day, and the only ads where for Swatch. He was on straight after school and his gimic was making his PA run to the library to get a tape for a requested video, as a camera followed him.

Think of him as John the Bapist to Chris Evan's Jesus.

westwood is hillarious he looks like bradley walsh! really they shouldve got ali g but thank fook it wasnt richard fukkin blackwood.

ali g would be deadly for it. at least he has a personality unlike westwood. it wont be a patch on the american one cos it wont have the same humour. theyre all probably gonna be a bunch of dry ****es on the uk version.

Actually that was on Sky Channel (much later Sky One) in the mid-80s when much of the output was broadcast from Holland - the show was Sky Trax..the gimmick: "run, Ronnie, run!"

Ray Cokes. MTV has gone downhill ever since he left.

H yes, I loved watching him on MTV. Funny how after that incident with that German metal band he was never seen on TV again. He was slagging them and his mike was on and broadcast at the gig. Then they sent him out on a crane thing low over the crowd despite his persistence not to and all the bands fans spat all over him and he started cursing to take him back in.

tbh most MTV shows are crap. And the UK version is a helluva lot worse. Why people watch Cribs is beyond me. Wow, I'm going to watch a programme about some guy who has a load of stuff I'll never have. Then they feel miserable (sometimes) knowing that they don't have stuff. Boring. And why is most of MTV about shít shows involving hardly any music. It's not living up to the name Music Television anymore.

In that photo he looks like some really, really shìt version of Edward Scissorhands.

Aside from his annoyingness, he's a crap DJ. Should've gotten Nick Frost or Bill Bailey to present it - least then it'd be funny.

Damn I'm showing my age. At least I didn't remember that.

FYI: Ray Coakes can be seen from time to time on foreign channel Arte
