Evans starts breakfast show with The Beatles

DJ Chris Evans has hosted his debut Radio 2 breakfast show and the first song he played was The Beatles' All You Need Is Love.

There had been much speculation as to what would be the first song and some bookmakers were even taking bets on it.

After giving three cheers for Moira Stuart - who returned to the BBC to read the news on his show. Chris played two Beatles tracks, 'All You Need Is Love' and 'Got To Get You Into My Life'.

Wake Up by the Boo Radleys had been a bookies favourite to be played first at 4/1 - other popular bets were Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham 5/1 and I Got A Feeling by Black Eye Peas 6/1.

The selection of The Beatles will no doubt be a blow to those who wanted to claim he was already alienating the TOGs (Terry's Old Geezers or Gals).
