Its still the longest show ever on Radio 1 (or even on the whole of BBC radio) so they won't be able to beat that. Also they didn't raise £2 million.

I don't think people understand that when someone at the top of their profession breaks an endurance record (while maintaining their high standard of work throughout), that it means a lot more than a person who isn't as good doing it.

eg. Brazil & England football teams playing a football match for 24 hours straight vs. 2 non-league teams doing the same.
