Editing Clive Bull (section)

==Acclaim==
In June 2005, Bull came 19th in the ''[[Radio Times]]'' survey of the [[Radio Times's Most Powerful People in Radio|forty most powerful people on radio]], the highest ranked phone-in host. He was described as "a brilliant phone-in host who knows that the way to make captivating talk radio is not to rant or rage, but to create a separate world, away from the nonsense of current affairs – then invite his listeners into it. His show is the most listened-to night-time programme in London and is an understated joy,"<ref>{{cite web|title=Vintage Times - Vintage Times |url=http://www.vintagetimes.org.uk/rt/2005-06-11/ |website=Vintage Times |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070312154637/http://www.vintagetimes.org.uk/rt/2005-06-11/ |archivedate=12 March 2007 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> while ''[[The Independent]]'' called him "The Emperor of night-time talk radio."<ref name="Biography">{{cite web|title=Book Clive Bull - Presenter - JLA|url=https://www.jla.co.uk/presenters/clive-bull|website=www.jla.co.uk}}</ref>

''[[The Observer]]'' said of Bull: "There's no-one quite like him. You get the impression that he's living just a bit dangerously, and that's what makes phone-ins exciting".<ref name="Biography"/>

He has won several awards including a Bronze [[Sony Radio Academy Awards|Sony Radio Award]]. The judges described him "An exception to the run-of-the-mill phone-in. It was all down to the presenter who appeared so laid back that his callers could not see how he was teasing them. A very dry sense of humour and great fun."<ref name="Biography" />

He won Best Talk Show Host at the [[New York Radio Awards]] in 2001.

===Celebrity callers===
*[[Peter Cook]] made a series of calls with the pseudonym "Sven from Swiss Cottage", a Norwegian fisherman who had come to London looking for romance and to escape the fish-obsessed phone-ins of Norway. Over time, Cook created an elaborate story of Sven's attempts to find love, or to find his estranged wife, often claiming to call from remote parts of the world where he believed his wife may have gone. These have been recorded in "Tragically I Was An Only Twin", a collection of his writings and are also available on Bull's subscription podcast. Peter Cook's former neighbour [[Rainbow George Weiss]] remained a regular caller with news of his political activities.<ref name="lbc">[http://www.lbc.co.uk/sectional.asp?id=13351 LBC Radio<!-- Bot generated title -->]
