The Team
Allan has been accompanied by a team of radio associates, who have joined him on his show. His current co-host is Fat Steve, the pseudonymous New York based comedy writer with whom he has done much of his US-based work. Long-term friend Lee Elliott, known as Big Ginger Lee, has often been heard on air with Allan on various stations. Whilst at Capital Disney, Allan was joined by a series of other people who made regular appearances. Adam Morris, known on air as The General joined him as teaboy at Capital Disney, eventually taking the reins of the show when Allan left. Allan was also joined by co-host Chloe, Radio DJs Pat Sharp and radio legend and mentor Mark Fox, engineer Robin and jingle maker Tyler. On Core, newsreader Ben Evans also joined, with other Core DJs regularly featuring. When he presented weekday mornings at Nation Radio, he was joined by DJ Ben Evans, who used to join him when they worked for Core (see above).
Will Chambers, programme manager of Capital Disney and Bern Leckie, programme manager of Core, have both appeared on their respective stations, with Will often joining Allan for Late Night Lake on Core as producer.
During The Allan Lake Show's tenure on Absolute Radio, Allan introduced two new members to his team. Phone Boy Sam, who originally started his relationship with Lake as a fan and caller but now is the show's phone operator and appears on mic throughout the course of the broadcast. Second member of the team is Producer Northern Monkey, originally from Hull he has worked with Allan on previous radio stations for brief spells.

Famous quotes containing the word team:
“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I doubt if men ever made a trade of heroism. In the days of Achilles, even, they delighted in big barns, and perchance in pressed hay, and he who possessed the most valuable team was the best fellow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
