Will was not there today, so producing the show is a man with plenty of experience - as a tape operative, its Dan the Man from Norn Iron. It was Chris' mum's birthday today and Chris said he made her a cup of tea while she was in bed. He said he bought her the Coldplay album and he said he considered getting her the Eminem album, but he was concerned about the bad language.
Chris said he never gets the big names in music, because Jo Whiley always snaps them up before him. Dave
commented that it's because they're now gaining credibility in the music industry. They got talking about how Badly Drawn Boy did the soundtrack to 'About a Boy' and Chris and Dave reminisced about the time they were running
in the park during the filming and actually made it into one of the shots. Chris said that the film's success was all down to him, even though he didn't make the final cut.
Chris asked the listeners to phone in with questions for Mr. Drawn Boy. One caller phoned up and said the once Badly Drawn Boy was playing his guitar on the street and passers by thought he was a tramp busking. Chris said that he would be like a Supertramp. Chris said the caller wasn't being very PC, because he generalised that all tramps busk on the streets, and yet there are many tramps out there with no talent at all.
Today’s guest was Badly Drawn Boy. He is currently touring and says he’s one of the best live acts on the planet even if he does say so himself. Nothing like massaging ones ego.
He listens to Chris a fair bit, he heard all the praise Chris gave the ‘About a Boy’ soundtrack and said he really appreciated it. It was hard work so he’s glad it didn’t go unnoticed. He informed Chris and Dave that the show is almost entertaining now – it was bit shaky a couple of years ago.
Despite Dave warning him not to, Chris brought up the Wombles thing. Mr Drawn Boy however seems to have a good sense of humour and said it was the X factor he needed to get to number one, however the song only went to 14. He performed ‘All Possibilities’ in the Live Lounge.
He made £13.74 from the All Possibilities video from busking outside Waterloo Station. Its the first time hes busked.
Dave asked if he was good at drawing and asked him to draw a horse. He tried to draw the winner of the Grand National. He backed Supreme Glory who came second. Art was his best subject at school. Dave rated him great at drawing horses. He signed it and they are going to give it away.
He is doing One Big Weekend in Manchester. He met Chris in 2003 and told him off for not playing his records at that time. Chris said he should merchandise his hats. He will join The White Stripes, Feeder and the Stereophonics.
He is writing songs at the moment and Chris asked them to write a song for them. The single is out April 17th with a DVD format. Hes only plugging it because its great. He played Something To Talk About with a botch job of The Wombles at the end where he sung The Wimbles of Wombledom.
Chris had to plug the Ian Wright National Lottery Show. Macy Gray, Craig David and Robbie Williams will be on the show. Chris took the piss out of Ian Wright for being devoid of any talent. Chris decided to do the lottery show himself. He wanted to do the voiceover trails for the show. Chris played the new Puretone record which is very poor follow up to Addicted to Bass.
DJ Lottie filled in for Pete Tong, so to speak. He commented on her lovely ass.

Sugarhill Gang Rappers Delight - Rappers delight should not be confused with Turkish Delight which is a kind of strange pink perfumed confectionery made by Frys - Barry Fry is the manager of Peterborough - Peterborough are known as the Posh - Posh Spice is the nickname of David Beckhams missus Victoria - Victoria Wood is a Lancastrian comedian as is Peter Kay - Kays are famous for catalogues - Catalogue sounds a bit like Captains log which is a naval diary kept by seaman - David Seamans hair is inspired by the style of Highwaymen - Highway Patrol was the responsibility of Ponch and John in C.H.I.P.S - Chips in this country are traditionally served with salt, vinegar and tomato sauce, however in European countries such as Germany they call them Frites and serve them with Mayonnaise - And when you think of German cuisine you think of their penchant for salami and ham which are collectively known as cold cuts - Which links us to Coldcut and Doctorin The House from 1988
