On 28 March 2015, Matthew presented a 25th anniversary show. A Sounds of the 60s CD was released in November 2011. Matthew was also absent due to illness in October 2011 and November 2016 – February 2017, with lyricist Tim Rice replacing him on both occasions. Matthew returned on 10 February, revealing that his prolonged absence had been due to a viral infection contracted while in hospital for a routine operation. His place was taken temporarily between September 2006 and February 2007, during periods of illness, by former Radio Caroline and BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Johnnie Walker (and, during Walker's own absence in December 2006, by three guest presenters: Sandie Shaw, Joe Brown and Suzi Quatro). Matthew first presented Sounds of the 60s on 31 March 1990, following the end of his stint on Round Midnight and was still doing so until November 2016, more than 26 years after he took over. Subsequently Brian Matthew, who had introduced Saturday Club on the BBC Light Programme, later BBC Radio 1, until 1969, took over as regular presenter. His success led to another three-month contract later in the year, but his constant demands for the show to go live and to move from Bristol to London, along with a growing list of complaints to BBC management, meant that his contract was not renewed. The response from the public was so great that Dee was booked for a three-month run early in 1989. In December 1988, the then producer Stuart Hobday re-discovered Simon Dee, the first voice heard on Radio Caroline in 1964, and persuaded him to present a listeners’ all-time-favourite Top 20.
