ATC radio bleed

A friend who lives in Warminster was complaining of massive radio bleed to me yesterday. Said that it was wiping out Radio 1. Clearly i told him that aircraft safety was slightly more important that his daytime listening, but i was little surprised it was affecting such a wide band.

What was happening atmospherically? is there any way of preventing it locally? are the RT frequencies anywhere near FM radio frequencies? Is bleed "restricted" and should he be making people aware?

Cheers

ETA- for spelling and accuracy- it was radio 1 it was interfering, not radio 2
