Bearing in mind yesterdays long train journey north and night out in the Toon, everybody was feeling and sounding relatively good this morning. Chris, Dom and Dave each managed to stay up until midnight but they were no match for the Potteries number one party animal Juliette, who was tucked up in bed fast asleep by 9pm. She was chatted up by some Geordie builder called Dwain on the train yesterday. (Dom did a gag about “Dwainpipes”). She said he so wasn’t getting her number, despite his numerous appeals. The show today was coming live and direct from the studios of BBC Radio Newcastle. Chris said the desk was very complicated to operate as everything was the opposite way round to how it is in Radio 1’s studios in London. Dave was impressed though and said it was exactly how you would imagine a proper radio studio to look like. Chris said it wasn’t too dissimilar to the studios of Radio Grange Hill. Chris could see the presenters of both the early breakfast show and breakfast show on Radio Newcastle through the glass. He said they were looking very smart with posh shirts on that were tucked into their jeans “and everything”. It kinda put Chris in his (extra large) Nike jumper and Aled in his Roy Cropper coat to shame. Chris got a minidisc of Radio Newcastle jingles and at various points during the show, him and Dave did a few local radio links to try and see if they could get a weekend gig there. The best were around 8.20 when Dave played the part of a TV critic and after Tedious Link about 9:05. Chris picked a legendary Newcastle anthem for today’s Buzz Off choice. Well, not exactly. He chose US3 feat Rahsaan - Cantaloop from Sep 93. Dave wasn’t in the mood for acid jazz so buzzed on 45 seconds. Aled followed at 1:16, Rachel at 1:56 and the listeners finally buzzed it off after 2 mins 03. Paul Turner had recorded a collection of liners for Chris to play in to today’s show, although “Wye Aye Pet” and “Live From Geordie Land” just didn’t sound right in an American accent. Chris shaved off his beard last night but Dave wasn’t on the ball and despite first seeing him at 5.45am, didn’t realise until Chris pointed it out after 8 o’clock.

ANT AND DEC LIVE FROM “THE BUSH”:
Chris decided at about 7.20 to phone Ant and Dec in the jungle and see if he could get through. Aled had tried and failed off the air and Dave and Rachel unanimously refused to go out into the Carpark on their mobiles and impersonate them. Chris decided to ring Dec’s phone live on the air because if he did pick up then at least he couldn’t refuse to do the interview. Dec picked up and seemed a bit confused about who was calling him at first. Chris and Dec asked the usual “What time is it over there?” question. It was 5.25pm in Oz. Dec said him and Ant were off to bed soon (he clarified not together) because they have to get up at the crack of dawn (no gags) each day to plan, write and prepare for the show that starts at 6am their time...
Dec - What time is it there then?
Chris (in awful Geordie accent) - It’s 25 past 7
Dec - In the morning?
Chris & Dave - In the morning
Chris - We do the breakfast show now
Dec - I know that
Chris - We’re very popular these days
Dec - Really? What happened
Chris - Shut your face
Chris and Dave kissed their arses a bit, saying “I’m A Celebrity..” is the funniest show they do...blah blah blah. Chris said he did feel sorry for them having to spend all their time in that 5 star hotel, because they have to hang out with the stand-by who is Timmy Mallett. Dec said that fortunately he is staying in a nearby hotel and the not the same one (how many hotels is there in the middle of this jungle?). Dec put Ant on (cue more bad Geordie impressions from Chris). Ant talked to Chris about some of the bars to visit tonight in Newcastle (the team are staying up there till tomorrow). Chris is going straight down to Elland Road to watch Leeds v Middlesbrough tomorrow. Him and Dave were thinking about going to see Dave Pearce tonight, who’s playing at Promises at Foundation in Newcastle. Chris said that when Ant & Dec return home, they are welcome to come and join the show for breakfast and booze. By the time the interview ended and he had played a record, Chris was well over five minutes late for the news but said he didn’t care as Parfitt was over 200 miles away and wouldn’t be listening anyway.

ALED ON THE ROAD:

The whole point of doing the show in Newcastle was to show off Chris’s new billboard to his adoring Geordie public. The BBC in Newcastle took up their opt-out option and chose to place billboards for the local news rather than Chris’s show. Chris then proposed putting Aled in the front of a big truck (covered on either side by the poster) and sending him round Newcastle to various landmarks. Chris went outside to the garage mic to send him off on his mission. This meant Chris didn’t have control of the desk and Dave and exec Joe had a good laugh starting and stopping the next song while Chris was trying to talk (Dave claimed Joe was just checking it was cued up). Chris saw the 38 ton juggernaut for the first time and proclaimed it the biggest truck he’d ever seen. It hadn’t even set off and people were beeping their horns at it already....
Dave - So obviously people are spotting this truck, as is evidently clear
Chris - I don’t think their listening, It’s just cos we’re blocking the road
Dave - Oh I see

Aled’s first task was to get the team a present. Dave suggested a McDonalds breakfast but Chris wasn’t so sure the lorry would fit in the drive-thru. Instead, Aled got out and asked a couple of passers-by what they thought he should get Chris. They said “some broon”. It took Aled a few minutes to understand that they meant Newcastle Brown Ale and he set off to the brewery to try and blag some free. At first he wasn’t too optimistic about their chances of free ale, but once he’d put on his fluorescent jacket (to which he replied “I don’t think it’s my colour but thanks”), some bloke called Les sorted him out with some free ale to take back to Chris. Next stop for Aled was St James Park (home of Newcastle United football club). Aled put on his Newcastle shirt and tried to find the reception to blag more stuff. He said that compared to the entrance at Aberystwyth Town, the entrance to St James’s Park was absolutely huge...
Dave - Is it the biggest entrance you’ve ever seen?
Aled - Definitely yeah

Juliette asked Aled to try and get a free pair of Newcastle socks. I dunno why. He misheard her and thought she said shorts. Not only was Aled given a pair of free shorts, but a pair signed by Nikos Dabizas who’s just left Newcastle for Leicester. Aled put on the shorts over his pants in a Chris Moyles Superman billboard stylee. From NUFC it was off to Newcastle Uni, where truck driver Kath from Leeds managed to get to within 60 yards of the campus. She then beeped both her quiet and loud horns to try and wake up as many of “the work shy long haired students” up as possible (Daves words not mine). After this entertained Chris, he got Kath to play out various tunes and football related beats, making good use of both horns. Eventually some students saw the truck and Aled kitted out in full Newcastle United kitwear. The first one to reach him was a rather attractive (her pic is on the R1 site) pyjama clad French and Business Studies student called Helen who’d been woken up by the horn. She told Chris she doesn’t normally get up till midday and misses him in the afternoons. Chris told her he had to move to breakfast as it was more money. Him and Dave then tried out their usual french lines on her, such as “Quest qu'il ya dans la panier?” (What’s in the basket). The next fascinating piece of radio conjured up by Aled was a commentary of the truck pulling out onto the Tyne Bridge. There was lots of beeping going on at Aled’s big juggernaut. Dave called it “Trucklove”. Chris reminded drivers it’s an offence to unnecessarily beep your horn while on the road - but this was for entertainment so it was OK. Aled said it was a great view. Chris said it didn’t work so well on the radio though and (almost) told Aled to feel free to jump in the river. Aled spotted the studios for the North East station Century 100-102 FM and Chris told him to pull up outside. Aled decided to go in. It was one of the best bits of radio I’ve heard for quite a long time. Chris told Aled to watch out for any competition that might want to make a name for themselves by pushing him over. Dave also reminded Aled he’d probably be arrested for trespassing. Aled decided to bang on the studio window and cause a bit of trouble. Some woman came out and Aled asked if he could have a t-shirt, a mug and a dedication read out on-air. She asked what the message was. Chris told him to say “Switch over to Radio 1 now”. Aled chatted to a few people for a bit (Chris thought he was trying to make new friends as his days at Radio 1 are numbered since Greg left) but then Aled shouted out “Stuff your poxy radio station, we’re Radio 1” and ran for the truck, with Century chasing after him with “Sticks and reels of tape” (not really, Chris made that bit up). Aled was horrified to learn that the truck wasn’t moving though and was staying put outside Century, as he had to play Carpark Catchphrase in a bit. Century brought out some cakes to take to Rachel but she was going to the gym and wouldn’t accept them.
