Chris was in a bit of a bad mood at the start of this morning’s show, for a few different reasons. Firstly today is a Bank Holiday and as per usual, he was on the air. The reason he had been given for this was that the BBC only recognises Easter Monday as a Bank Holiday and not Good Friday, so therefore the Radio 1 Line Up is as normal today. Chris may have had the right to complain about this but his working day was nothing compared to that of stand-in Newsbeat editor Liza Booth, who arrived at 5:30 this morning and doesn’t finish till 6:30 tonight. Another reason for Chris’s bad temper today was what happened to him last night as he was settling down for his tea. He received a phone call telling him that his brother wasn’t feeling too well and was off work. Chris (as you would) rang him up to see how he was and then (as you would) asked if there was anything he could do for him. That in hindsight was a bad decision as his brother did have something that he needed doing - he needed a urine sample dropping off at the local hospital. Chris was given the job of doing just that but when he arrived at the hospital, the staff didn’t have a clue what he was talking about. So therefore he ended up walking around quite a big hospital in London for half an hour, while clutching onto a tub of his brothers wee in a Boots carrier bag. Chris said it didn’t half put him off his pizza when he got home. After that and the Celtic game on the box, Chris turned off the lights and settled down with his beer and his ciggies to watch The Matrix Revolutions on DVD, the final instalment of the Matrix trilogy and the only one that he hasn’t yet seen. He only watched a third of it last night though, as his high fangled DVD player froze and then wouldn’t get started again. Chris said he’s already on his third DVD player in a couple of years, as he just buys a new one when they break instead of getting them fixed. Dominic made him feel a lot better by telling him that that Matrix film is the best one out of the three. Yet another thing that wound Chris up yesterday was the fact that the big show meeting in the afternoon...was held in the busiest and noisiest bar in London, where no-one could hear each other. The whole on air team plus Greyhead, Exec Joe Graham and new daytime BA Jocelyn were there, but Chris said it was so loud he didn’t have a clue what anyone was saying. Then when it did finally quieten down, Will stopped the meeting to go over and chat to an old school friend of his that he hadn’t seen in years. Chris checked his e-mails at the start of the show this morning, to find one that had come in regarding his new haircut (if you don’t know, Chris is growing his hair long at the moment). The e-mail had morphed his short hair with Vernon Kay’s face and vice versa, to present Vernon Moyles and Chris Kay. Chris thought both him and Vernon looked quite good with their new respective hairdos, although Rachel said Chris looked like a fat version of Ian Brown with that hair. Dave compared him with Nicky Clarke, which Chris wasn’t happy with. Bank Holidays in the world of radio are usually known more commonly as Breakfast Disc Jockey holidays, which meant that some of Chris’s DJ friends were filling in on rival stations this morning and therefore competing with him. He got texts from two mates asking for plugs, who from the clues he gave I’m guessing were Rossie (from Radio Aire in Leeds) and Andi Peters (with Kate Lawler on Capital FM in London). Peters even admitted that they were listening to Chris whilst the records were playing. Dave didn’t think the show should be plugging any of it’s competitors however. No votes came in at all for today’s Buzz Off record, which was Something Good by the Utah Saints, a number 4 hit back in June 1992. Both Aled and Dave were loving it in particular, although Dave thought it sounded a little dated now in April 2004.
CHICKS WIN TIX:>>>> A pair of Barclaycard Premiership tickets were up for grabs today for Man City versus Wolves, which is at 3pm tomorrow at The City of Manchester Stadium. Chris wants that game to be a draw, but Dave hopes Wolves win. Remember him and Chris are close personal friends with Wolfie the Wolves mascot, following their Top 10 cracking cup goals competition last year (which they filmed with him). Dave’s Everton are playing Spurs tonight in the Premiership, with Chris’s Leeds at Blackburn tomorrow. Playing for the Man City tickets today though were Jo and Lisa. Jo was at work but Lisa had a day off. Chris said in that case it was a bit of stupid of her to have got up so early...
Lisa - I know but my alarm woke me up
Chris - You’re meant to cancel your alarm when you don’t have to go to work
Dave - Oh no
Chris - What?
Dave - I’ve just realised that I left my extra, extra alarm set, which will now be waking my wife up
Chris - What time does that go off?
Dave - Actually it was a while ago, about quarter past seven
Chris - Excellent. Morning Dave’s wife...soon to be ex-wife
Jo not Lisa won the tickets in the end, after correctly identifying Maine Road as the ground City vacated at the end of last season. Lisa (who lives in South London) didn’t sound too disappointed at not winning as her and her dad are going to the City - Southampton match in a few weeks time anyway.
COMEDY DAVE’S CRYPTIC EASTER EGG HUNT:
In recognition of the special religious festival that is Easter, Dave had devised a cryptic Easter egg hunt for some members of the team to take part in this morning. The contestants taking part were Dominic Byrne from News, Juliette Ferrington from Sport and Aled Jones from Wales. Each were given a special envelope containing cryptic clues to the location of their Easter egg, hidden somewhere around the studios of Radio 1. Dave called it “the ultimate physical and mental challenge” and said “egg marks the spot”. Aled’s egg was found in Studio 1 and Dom’s on top of the studio clock. Juliette’s clue read as follows - “Here begins a cryptic tale for a lady who’s often seen at the Vale. An egg like gift that’ll melt in the gob is waiting next door on a table of knobs”. Jules returned with her egg (that was on the desk in the next door studio). She complained that it had melted and gone all gooey.
Dave - Oh no. Do you know what, maybe you’re not supposed to put chocolate eggs on hot mixing desk equipment
(Jules and Rachel laugh)
Chris - Dave, exactly whereabouts on the mixing desk did you put that now melted chocolate egg?
Dave (cue pig squeal laugh) - Deep within the buttons!!
Dave said it was not to worry as he’d phone the studio engineers after the show about the “melted egg studio desk problem”. Dominic and Chris both moaned about the Easter eggs hidden by Dave, saying that they were thumbnail size. It turns out Dave took them from the batch of eggs given to the team by Radio 1 the other day. Chris asked Rachel (as producer of the show) whether or not this particular feature would be back next year. Her answer (believe it or not) was no.
(Dave - The Mastermind behind The Cryptic Easter Egg Hunt)
ONE BIG WEEKEND TICKET WINNERS:>>>>
With today being the last day of Radio 1’s OBW Dance Day competition, Judge Jules' cue to call line was not new - it was “the best of the week” (More clout than Wayne Rooney’s family reunion).
Chris - Why are you laughing Dave?
Dave - So it’s not as if we’ve run out of quotes or anything, we’re simply picking the best one
Chris - Yeah, don’t think for one second it’s down to the usual sloppy mismanagement by the Radio 1 idiots upstairs, who are so lazy and uncreative that they didn’t come up with five separate things for Jules to say for a five day competition. (Fake laugh) No, no, no Dave...we’re simply choosing everybody’s favourite line of the week
The five winners of a pair of tickets to the Dance Day in Derry were Kerry from Derry, Kevin from Dumfries, Karla from Portsmouth, Guy from Carrickfergus and Keith from Enniskillen.
RADIO 1’S 52 MINUTE TAKEOVER:
This Monday from 10am until 8pm there is a blank canvas of music in the Radio 1 Schedule as Scott Mills, Edith Bowman and Vernon Kay do “Radio 1’s Ten Hour Takeover”. Or as Rachel has been calling it “The Ten Hour Takeaway” (Dave said that was like a Friday night at her house). Rache even accidentally wrote down Ten Hour Takeaway on a piece of paper for Will, who then read it out in a high level BBC Management meeting and had to be corrected. Will accused Rache afterwards of making him look small time and amateurish. As Chris is off on Monday and won’t get to take part in the Ten Hour TakeOVER, he spontaneously decided to do it himself this morning at 8 minutes past 9. That meant between then and Jo Whiley at ten o’clock it was “Radio 1’s 52 Minute Takeover”, with every single record chosen by the listeners. Or in reality chosen by Chris and Dave from the listeners suggestions coming in. Chris said he was just doing it to check that the system was working of course.
Chris - Pick a record, it can be absolutely anything. Apparently I’m not allowed to give you examples because it might sway the voting, so I got told this morning
Dave - But...
Chris - MANTOVANI ! MANTOVANI!
Rachel - Oh well you’ve swayed the voting now. We might get a big rush for Mantovani
Chris - Well I’m sorry, do you not read the papers...I’m a shock jock
(Rachel laughs)
First up on the Takeover playlist was Color Me Badd and I Wanna Sex You Up, a record that Dave said hadn’t got any better with time. He described it as “muck”. Chris said that he had to play it though as they had sent Aled all the way over to The BBC Music Library to pick up a copy. All the records from the last 50 years are basically accessible for The Ten Hour Takeover - either stored in The BBC Music Library, the R1 computer system or the at-hand VCS A-Z system. Chris said he wanted to crash the text messages on 81199, with the rules being that you put the artist, song title, name then message in your text (in that order). E-mail was also available ([url=mailto:[email protected]]mailto:[email protected][/url]) - you can send your requests to this address now ahead of this Monday. Chris said his 52 minute takeover was simply a little aperitif for Monday and wasn’t at all an excuse for him and Dave to choose their favourite records...obviously.
Dave - Cross promotion is what we are about
Thousands upon thousands of suggestions came in and Chris and Dave must have read out a few hundred of them on the air. The songs eventually selected for this last hour alongside Color Me Badd were Monkey Wrench by the Foos (for Comedy Dave and Mark in Coventry), Deee-Lite and Groove Is In The Heart (for loads of people), Guitar Man by Elvis (for Dominic Byrne and Brad in Watford), Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi (for Juliette - who rang her mum), Gomez and Whippin' Piccadilly (for Sharon and Claire) and Girls On Film by Duran Duran (for exec Joe and loads of people on the text). Chris finished off by playing Paradise City by Guns N' Roses, which overran by a minute into Jo Whiley’s show. As well as all these fine records from yesteryear, Moyles also played a couple of TV theme tunes requested on the text. They were Miami Vice for Simon in South Wales and (ah the memories) Playdays for a whole host of texters (and yep it did stop at the Why Bird Stop).
NO CARPARK CATCHPHRASE TODAY
Due to Radio 1’s 52 Minute Takeover, Chris cancelled today’s Carpark Catchphrase. Roy Walker and Mr Fish will return after 9:30 on Tuesday.

CHRIS ON JO WHILEY’S SHOW:>>>>
At the end of the theme music today Jo asked Chris if he’d come into her studio as she had a special Easter treat for him. To his disappointment she wasn’t naked, but she did have a little game to play with him. In her first link she showed him two die she’d been sent in during the week. On one dice the actions blow, touch, tease, suck, lick and massage were labelled (Chris said she started off on a good one there). On the other dice parts of the body were labelled, with the idea being both of them had to roll both die and then carry out the instruction on the other. Jo rolled her first dice and got massage, which Chris said was rubbish.
Jo (checking second dice) - ...Body!! I can do that, I can massage your body
Chris - You’ll be there for hours love!!
(Jo and her producer Piers Bradford laugh)
Chris got “tease body” when he rolled his die and insisted it’d been fixed. He then rolled again (seemingly fixing it) and got lick as the action...
(second dice rolls) Chris - What does it say Jo?
Jo (looking) - ...Nipples!! I’m not playing!!!
(Both her and Chris laugh as she starts playing Eamon)
