Chris told Tony that since the new Radio 1 studios were built, after 5pm the studio starts shaking because of the tube line right next to the studio. Chris also said that if Tony does well today then the weekend schedule needs shaking up. Jazz FM and Real Radio told Tony that every time he mentions their stations he'll get a £200 bonus. Tony asked Chris if he thought Dave would be worried about his job while he was there. Chris also joked that Tony had selected all the records for today's show when Something Corporate came on and Tony said Wow, I love this! Tony said that if that song had been around when he opened Radio 1 it would have been the sort of song he'd have opened with, he said he could have opened and closed with it at the same time!
Tony watched Reborn in the USA and he thought the performances by Dollar and Sonia were very interesting, he thought Sonia really over dramatised it. Tony's favourite was Tony Hadley and he thinks he will win. Chris said he's never understood why these celebrities go and do reality TV shows anyway, and Tony said Well no, I don't. I suppose they're just desperate for publicity really!
Tony started flirting with George after the news telling her what a good job she did. Chris told him to stop because she's young enough to be his daughter. George said More like granddaughter, so Tony said Actually you didn't do that good of a job. As a side topic Georgina won our poll for the best looking person on Newsbeat, she wins nothing.
Dave was on the phone and they predictably did the old satellite delay gag. Chris asked Dave if they'd got any VIP treatment. He said Nottingham Forest had laid on a special buffet for them. Chris joked that Dave would be pretty much sorted for away tickets now. Dave said it was an honour to have Tony filling in his seat, but Tony said he considered it a privilege to have been asked.
Tony joked that he should have brought some of his old pop songs in. He said that he wasn't allowed to play them when he was on Radio 1, but now 20 years later Chris could have played them all to death and make him rich from all the royalties.
The team had John Thompson on the phone – he is on probation tonight on Comic Relief does Fame Academy (Who came up with that mouthful of a name? What was wrong with Celebrity Fame Academy?). Chris encourages people to vote for him to stay in, as tomorrow he will have to do ballet. Chris is supposed to be supporting Will Mellor but has always been a fan of Johns so is in a bit of a dilemma. When he gets out John promises to come in and see the team. They talk about Cold Feet and Chris admitted crying at it last night. He knew someone was going to die but not who, and he was sat on his own in his flat crying like a baby, bless his little heart.
Tony Blackburn asked whether Pete Waterman would be bringing in some fish with him tomorrow. Tony is a vegetarian and has been since he was 5. When he was 5 he went to a farm and saw some lovely chickens and the next time he saw them, they were cooked and on his plate. Chris said that he loves animals and he also likes the taste of them.
Chris bought the Red Hot Chili Peppers album and 4 Beatles albums as he has no Beatles albums on CD. Tony asked him why he didnt just ask the record company to send him them free.
The news said they had 2 pyschics from Living Tv are trying to get a seance with Princess Di. Georgina was ticked off again by Tony. They mentioned Jazz FM and Real Radio again.

Chris wants John to win. Paul Ross was reported to be gutted. Fearne has gone on holiday for a few days after being voted out in Saturday. Paul Mckenna came in on Saturday to help Ulrika. Tony asked why Richard Park doesnt just play himself on the show. They cant even get BBCi on the Tv screen. Doon started crying after Ulrika yapped at her. Ulrika is being bitchy.

Beatles Magical Mystery Tour - Beetles is also an insect - Insects have six legs - Spiders have 8 legs - The pop band Blue have 8 legs between them - Blue had a hit with One Love - One Love is the advertising strap line for Radio 1 - Radio 1 is where Tony Blackburn gained his fame back then in 1967 - Fame was a popular tv show in the early 80's - Fame Academy is on this week for Comic Relief - Fame Academy is a reality show, a bit like Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here which had Uri Gellar Darren Day and Nell McAndrew - And if you encountered Nell McAndrew you might say I Found Loving - Which links us to the Fatback Band and I Found Lovin
