 In May 2005, Skues became semi-retired, but could still be heard on the above BBC Local Radio stations on Sundays from 9pm to 1am with a show entitled "Pirate Radio Skues", which included an "archive hour", replaying an hour of classic pirate radio from home-taped recordings.The "Archive Hour" was discontinued in 2009, following changes to BBC compliance rules.From the start of 2010, the word 'Pirate' was dropped from the programme's title, and the programme also included music from the 1970s.
