In December 2007, Parfitt was criticised for only authorising a cut version of The Pogues 'Fairytale of New York', censoring the words 'slut' and 'faggot'.
•
More recently, Parfitt has been instrumental in changes to the Radio 1 daytime output including the appointment of Chris Moyles as the Radio 1 Breakfast Show host in January 2004, as well as the 2006 reshuffle which saw Colin Murray move to 10pm.

He went to Ashton Park Comprehensive School in Bower Ashton, Bristol.
•
In March 2009, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro along with Radio 1 presenters Chris Moyles, Fearne Cotton and seven other celebrities for Comic Relief 2009.
•
This has seen a sustained improvement in RAJAR ratings with the station reaching the ten million mark in listenership.
He remained controller of Radio 1 alongside this until March 1998, when he was succeeded by Andy Parfitt.
