For twenty five years Merv Smith was a house-hold name as he fronted the breakfast show on Auckland's 1ZB, New Zealand's first commercial radio station. Thousands tuned in to the Early Bird show to hear Merv, his Scottish spider friend McHairy, and his ubiquitous train whistle. David Steemson drops in on Merv who has turned 80 this year.
