RADIO presenters have binned their business attire in exchange for the most comfortable clothes they can find – their pyjamas.

Volunteers at Witney Radio have taken the term “dressing down” to a new level, by simply wearing their brightest, funkiest nightclothes into the office.

Presenter Barry Clack said: “We are a volunteer radio station and we have to have a bit of fun.

“If that means wearing our pyjamas then what’s the problem?”

Thirty presenters at the Burford Road station have been wearing their bed togs to the studio since Christmas, to ease back into working life.

At the beginning of this year, wearing pyjamas outside the home hit the headlines when a Darlington headteacher criticised mothers who arrived in them to drop off their children. Some also turned up for the Christmas nativity play wearing pyjamas.

Mr Clack, 45, said: “Pyjamas do cover you up and as long as they don’t cause offence then I don’t see the problem.

“You only have to go to the seaside to see some extraordinary sights, and that’s when people are wearing barely any clothes.

“In this day and age people work long hours, and if it means you can spend an extra few minutes in your pyjamas then there is no problem with that.”

Mr Clack, who lives in Crawley, presents the Supper Club on Witney Radio every Sunday night from 7pm to 9pm.

He added: “Instead of coming up here in normal clothes and then going home to get changed, we thought we’d just come in our pyjamas.”

The station has been causing a stir on social media by suggesting people should even brave the supermarket in their nightwear.

Mr Clack added: “I wear quite bright pyjamas, and I’ve had a lot of people from abroad on social media asking me where I bought them. I’ve got Batman ones and Spongebob ones but it seems you might not be able to get them from abroad.”

The volunteers have no plans to swap pyjamas for normal office wear, despite spring approaching.
