Today’s show began with a montage of 5 Live commentary from Saturday’s Rugby World Cup Final, including the fantastic piece of commentary for Jonny Wilkinson’s drop goal. Chris admitted that he doesn’t know any of the rules in rugby but nevertheless he watched most of it on Saturday before getting in the car to drive up to Leeds. He listened to the rest on 5 Live and he said it was nice to hear Billy Connolly commentating. It’s actually a bloke called Ian Robertson. Although he found it weird listening to a Scot commentating on England, he said he still got goose
pimples in his neck listening back to the commentary of the drop goal. That was about as far as sporting success went for Chris on Saturday. Leeds are 2 points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership already after they lost 2-0 at home to Bolton. Chris owes Vernon Kay a fiver. He said Leeds were shocking, ruuubishhhh and had no defence at all. (I say bring back Okon). He is dreading the Chelsea match in a few weeks, he said it would be like abuse. Dave tried to be more optimistic. He was reading in today’s paper about the rumours that an Arab sheik might be interested in buying Leeds - and the rumours about Gordon Strachan becoming their new manager. Dave particularly liked the line in the paper that read ‘Do the Sheik and Strach and put the freshness back’.

Scott Mills is filling in for Coxy again on breakfast for the next two weeks and was still in the building when Chris was on air. He came in for a chat during the first link. Mills got up at 6am to present breakfast and casually strolled into the studio at 6.55. Scott said he’d heard rumours that next year Chris, Dave, Rachel and Aled are getting in the building early every morning at 5.30. Chris said ‘Well maybe six or half six......what time does the show start again?..’ Rachel was a bit peed off with the fact that the start time had gone back an hour in one foul link. Chris suggested putting the first hour of the show on tape, like breakfast DJs up and down the country. Chris asked how much Scott is earning when he moves to weekends. He wouldn’t say. Chris said he bet he was on one of those ‘1 hour a week, £40 000 a month deals...good mornin’. Dave said ‘No names’. (Vernon Kay perhaps?)

Chris moaned about Sunday night TV. He watched JFK on BBC 2 while Dave had the misfortune of watching the Wedding Planner on Channel 4. Chris said he was more ‘into’ the documentary that followed the film called ‘J Lo: Behind the Behind’. Chris caught a bit of some girls chatting about cars on Top Gear and himself and Dave indulged themselves in a good old bit of sexist ‘women only need cars for the shopping’ chat. Rachel was tutting away in the background. Chris played Mad World by Michael Andrews & Gary Jules. When they both heard it initially, Chris & Dave thought it was Michael Stipe from REM singing (Chris heard it on Radio 2 a few weeks ago). It either has been or currently is the record of the week for Jo Whiley, Wes, Scott Mills and Vicky Marsden. Chris had his own record of the week. It was Madworld (same title - see what he’s done there) by Tears For Fears from 1982. Chris played one minute of it and said he’ll play a minute each day this week, meaning you get the whole of the record in the week. Revolutionary stuff. One text said the track was the pups nuts. Dave said ‘the dogs bol....oganse’. Chris
almost had a heart attack.

CHRIS’S IN-DEPTH ALBUM REVIEWS (he listened to them in the car at the weekend)
LUDACRIS - Good but there is a pattern to it. One song says he is great and all other rappers are crap, the next is all about his hoes.
SEAN PAUL - OK. Track 1 is funny. Chris asked why he calls himself in French - Sean de Paul.
NEPTUNES - Not sure.
PRIMAL SCREAM - goes without saying.
BEAUTIFUL SOUTH - Good.

Xmas Shopping Chat. Nobody on the team has properly started yet. Chris has bought small bits and bobs. Dave wants vouchers again. The Gift of Choice. Chris recalled the time Dave bought him an orange for Christmas a few years back. Dave said it was a satsuma not an orange. Chris played a trail for the revamped ‘All New Top Of The Pops’ that starts on Friday. On the trail for it, the genius BBC bosses decided to get none other than the masters of the English language themselves, Blazin Squad, to read out the info. Chris predictably took the piss and said they talked like Frank Bruno. He told them to shut up and go away. Some guests gathered outside the glass to stare at Chris. Chris stared back and swore that he thought the guy looking in was his postman. He also talked briefly about the fantastic Avid Merrion video for Proper Chrimbo in which he stars, which was shown first on Friday on Channel 4. There is new crap on the Radio 1 Playlist this week in the form of Ultrabeat and also Stunt by G Unit, which ‘stars’ 50 Cent. Chris said it was drivel. Dave said he couldn’t disagree with him more and said he loved it. Chris asked Rachel if she is doing the London Marathon next year. She said no but she suggested the whole team do a half-marathon. Chris said no and Dave said he couldn’t be arsed. The Monday Surgery was miraculously on time this week. Dr Chris was asking for callers and trying to be serious when everyone (particularly Rachel) got into a fit of giggles. Chris said the next person to laugh had to cough up a fiver. Rachel was a fiver down. Dave said Rachel’s laugh sounded like Muttley from Wacky Races having an asthma attack.

MONDAY SURGERY XMAS SPECIAL

1 CHRIS - Should he start shopping in Ann Summers or Argos for his girlfriends Xmas presents. She is 17. Dr Chris said Argos. Nurse Dave said Toys ‘R’ Us.
2 ALEX - Bought his brother Bo Selecta Series 1 & 2 on DVD. Should he give them him both for Xmas or one for Xmas & one for his birthday. Dr Chris said one for his birthday.
3 STEVE - Going to Oz on Boxing day. Should he spend the next 4 weeks drinking or at the gym, in an effort to fit into his swimming trunks. Dr Chris said go to the pub as fat people are actually allowed in and out of Oz. (prime example being Jono Coleman)
4 MARTIN - Awful phone line. Chris took the piss while he said hello again and again. Eventually cut him off as he was dull.
5 PAUL - Should he get himself a new car or his girlfriend a breast implant for Xmas. Chris said boobs and Nurse Daves advice was for his girlfriend to actually have 2 breast implants done - not one, as he had originally suggested. Chris said otherwise you end up looking like Rachel and always leaning to one side.
6 GAVIN - Lives 90 mins from Inverness and he didn’t know whether to bother making the trip to see Chris on Thursday or not. Chris said yes. He said he would if Chris was buying a round in the pub. Chris said it was a terrible line.

Tommorrow month is Xmas day and on Wednesday they fly to Inverness to switch on the lights on Thursday evening. Chris said that the last time a DJ went to there it was a PR disaster. If anyone knows what Chris is talking about, please email me.
Chris hooked up on the phone with Gerry Reynolds. He said the excitement has been building. The carol service before Chris does the lights sold out. He thanked the listeners giving them an early Xmas present. Chris said that Gerry is very precise, he predicted that 11,000 were going to show up on Thursday night. Chris said he doesnt want to look like Daniel Bedingfield and he was guaranteed that the lights will work. Instead of the plunger, Chris will push the Cathedral bells to switch them on.
Chris said they cant be bothered with the dinner, they just want to down pints. Rachel said that the pubs are open to 1am. Gerry said he doesnt usually drink on Wednesday night but he was sure Chris would teach them. Hector Russell made the kilts and Chris mum is very proud. (Got a feeling you wouldnt be getting so excited if Kiddieminster had won the vote).
Gerry got an email from the Mirror asking what Chris kilt size was so they could take the piss. Chris said they are going to see Loch Ness and see a demonstration of the Highland Games. There is going to be fireworks. Last year attracted 2000 people to see the lights. The local radio station is looking forward to seeing Chris and Chris said he might bring some stuff.
Chris played the Darkness single for Xmas and it sounded like a bad cover version of a Queen B-Side. Chris asked people to text in YES if they liked it, NO if they didnt like it and CUSTARD if they didnt care. To sum up the stupidity of the listeners, the custard votes would have been more, but for the fact they could not spell it. Chris got the BO Selecta DVD to watch tonight, most likely for free. Chris said he is looking fatter again. Chris found the Evanescence single very very boring and pretended he was snoring really loudly.
Rachels cousin Katie and her fiancee Adam are coming over from America and she has an American accent. She works for IBM and he works there too. From LA to Kiddieminster. Hmm a bit of a gap in quality. Chris said that Dave Pearce has been firing cheap insults in his show about his weight.
