Oxford celebrity broadcaster Bill Heine has ended his silence on why and how a giant shark ended up sitting out of the roof of his Oxford home. The shark quickly became an iconic landmark when it was installed 25 years ago. Heine tells of his hilarious and sometimes frightening battles with the planners who wanted the shark removed.
American-born Heine has worked for BBC Radio Oxford since 1983. He is known for speaking his mind and hosts a phone-in show where his listeners are invited to do just the same. He has also written his autobiography Heinstein of the Airwaves.
