There was a shambolic start to proceedings this morning as Chris forgot to push quite an important button at the start of the show....erm, the one that puts it on the air. Nemone was left talking to herself until Chris finally hit the right studio switch and burst onto the air apologising. Nemone then managed to crash the vocals on Chris’s jingle and after the first record by Jamelia the technical problems continued into the news. It was what Dave might call “a strong start”. Chris preferred to ignore the mistakes though and said it’s good to see that Radio 1 are still playing Superstar by Jamelia...(sigh)...still. Seen as though the big screw up had occurred at the start of the show, Chris decided to have his first proper DJ handover with Nemone. He was amazed that she was still in the studio at five to seven as if it had been Scott Mills he would already have been halfway home in his car. Chris asked old Nemenie how her training was going. She chatted briefly about it and said she could soon be facing British athletes for the first time as she starts running properly for Greece. At first Chris pondered who he’d support if she was running against British athletes, before making a decision...
Chris - Well I’ll support Nemone then
Nemone - Thanks
Chris - That’s all right
Nemone - You’re always behind me aren’t you?
Chris - Well I’d like to be, anyway...
(laugh from Nemone’s producer and ex Moyles show BA Lizzie)
That may well be the last laugh we ever hear from Lizzie on Radio 1 as she is leaving today. It seems that she’s going on to pastures new overseas, although Chris said he’d give it six weeks max. Yesterday was Sophie’s birthday and her and Chris went out for a chinese to celebrate (they are going to the bingo on Saturday night as well - classy couple). Chris called Sophie the apple in his eye and the flower of his orient...
Chris - I hate those couples that have got nicknames for each other...I’m so pleased that me and my little sugar plum are not like that at all
He doesn’t really call Sophie his sugar plum - he said he just calls her “luv”. In return he said that she calls him fatty. Affectionate. Chris said he got a bit drunk on some chinese beer last night. Also out boozing yesterday was “sport girl” (as Chris is now referring to her) Juliette Ferrington. Jules ran Chris through her day yesterday. She left Radio 1 early at 10:45 for a big meeting at TV Centre. That (dull) meeting finished up at half twelve and she then went home to bed, sleeping till 4pm. She got up at four and headed straight down to the pub....where she stayed till ten o’clock. She said that she was simply drinking, eating and talking with her housemate.
Chris - You’ve got a girl working on the show who knows about football and spends six hours a day in the pub. It’s not like every man listening’s going to love her is it...
(plays jingle)
(Juliette and her multi-coloured hair)
Aled was out as well last night, he went to see Pink play at Wembley. Chris asked Pink to call the show if she was listening this morning (not likely bearing in mind it was ten past seven). The private studio line rang virtually immediately and Rachel was duped into picking up. Chris said it was probably some geeky anorak who had the extension number for the studio and thought they’d ring in because they were bound to be mentioned. Chris said he knew that’s who it’d be because it was the type of thing he used to do. Adrian Dixon is breakfast news editor all this week and today Chris thought he looked like Austin Powers in his huge glasses. Chris compared him to Ronnie Barker and Nana Mouskouri (target), Dave compared him to snooker loopy leg-end Dennis Taylor and Lisa Lobe. Chris said one thing was for certain today, Adrian’s news editing had been...shagadelic baby.
Chris (looking through the glass at Adrian) - Sorry about taking the mick out of you. Why don’t we go down to a poncey wine bar in Soho when you finish work at eleven and I’ll buy you a nice *, you know them drinks that come in those...stupid glasses
(Dave laughs as Chris plays jingle)
Buzz Off today was Definition Of Sound and Wear Your Love Like Heaven (number 17 in May 1991). Chris continued his Buzz Off - Buzz On experiment that’s been running all this week, with less successful results this morning. 66% of texters wanted the song off. Aled buzzed in first on 1 minute 23, Rachel was next on 2:05, the listeners then followed on 2:27 and Dave brought up the rear (so to speak) on 2:59.
THE CHRIS MOYLES APPROVED WORKPLACE SCHEME:
(More - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chrismoyles ... pool.shtml)
When the show comes live from Liverpool on Friday, Aled will be delivering the first ever Chris Moyles Approved Workplace CD plaque to a particular place of work. The plaque (seen above) will include engraved lettering in 2 mm stainless steel and will be delivered to the workplace that the show feels deserves that title the most. The team will choose from a shortlist of four who have registered via e-mail/phone. Representatives from the first two companies were on the phone today to tell Chris why they should get this brand new prestigious title (over 30 seconds of the Countdown music).
CALLER 1:>>>DES THE POLYTHENE MAN
Des is the commercial manager of Polythene Industries in Speake, who lovingly craft and manufacture polythene bags 24 hours a day. Chris stopped the show for a second to say how much we ordinary folk take polythene bags for granted. Des said the 80 members of staff in Speake were having a bit of a tough time fighting for their jobs at the minute and he really wanted to win the title to lift morale. Des also admitted he had a huge crush on Aled’s voice and said he would “treat him as an absolute gent” if he were to visit them. Aled suddenly wasn’t so keen.
CALLER 2:>>>REBECCA AND HER SERVICES
Rebecca is the account manager at a graphic design comapny in Liverpool. She seemed jolly, pleasant and perky, although Chris thought maybe just a bit too much. Rebecca was late for work but said that being on Radio 1 plugging the company was as good a reason as any to be late. Rebecca said her and the 17 other members of staff are very good to their customers...
Rebecca - We seem to service them well so we keep the customers happy
Chris - Well I tell you what, if you’re servicing the customers I might sign up
(Rebecca laughs)
Multi-talented musical maestro Dominic is of course going busking in Liverpool tomorrow afternoon, so he had brought his new guitar into work with him today to get in a bit of much needed practice (he bought it on the day Chris did TOTP). Considering he can’t read or write music and is entirely self-taught, Dom was fairly accomplished on the guitar (well better than Will playing Busted anyway). Dom decided to play a nice uplifting song for the morning - Street Spirit by Radiohead. Dave and Chris sang along, although just with grunts and noises and not with any actual lyrics. It was very funny, although obviously not to the 99.9% of Radiohead fans who don’t have a sense of humour and regard Moyles as satan. Despite the less than encouraging text reaction, Chris said he was sure Thom Yorke would have thoroughly enjoyed Dom’s playing, although he said he probably would have regarded Chris and Dave’s “singing” as an insult to his art.
RADIO 1’S SPOT THE DIFFERENCE:>>> Rachel’s soon to be Sony Award winning feature was back for a third day at 8:45 this morning...and still showing no signs of any improvement. Chris played an EastEnders clip featuring Ian Beale, with (for a change) the sound effects of a drill, an owl and a dog added to the second version. Sutel, a business adviser from St Albans with a dodgy laugh won today. Chris said they were really splashing out - her prize was a pen. Some texters and e-mailers were becoming slightly annoyed with the fact the drill-owl-dog “gag” has been running for three days now and isn’t getting any funnier. One text asked if the whole point of the feature was to just simply plug EastEnders. Chris said no but if that got him back in Lorraine Heggessey’s good books then yes. Lorraine (the controller of BBC1 if you didn’t know) is actually trying to arrange a set visit for Chris to go to see some of the new series of Spooks being filmed. Afternoon show listeners will remember that when a similar trip was being set up early last year, Chris was the only member of the team that hadn’t actually been told (Greyhead’s fault) so was back home in Leeds on the morning of the visit and had to miss out.
Rachel had a bit of a migraine coming on today (probably caused by Spot The Difference) so Chris turned off the studio lights for her and just used the two spotlights instead. He told her to go home but she said she couldn’t because she had to stay and make sure Chris and Dave behaved themselves. Chris hadn’t a clue what she was on about and told her it’s those crazy kids Aled, Dom and Jules that she should be keeping her eye on. Dave said if she decided to leave then him and Chris would be more than capable of controlling the kids...
Dave - We’ll keep them in line Rachel...of that you can be sure
(Rachel and Chris laugh)
Today is Day 3 of Radio 1’s One Music Week. The demo track played by Chris today was Hip To You by We Rock Like Girls Don’t, an all girl Glaswegian threesome (good mornin) who are playing at the Glasgow Barfly tonight. They changed their name to We Rock Like Girls Don’t after Creation guy and Oasis founder Alan McGee misread their name on his Radio 1 One World slot last year. Steve Lamacq apparently described them as “ram-a-lam-a-grunge-pop”. Other forthcoming dates include Period at the Sub Club in Glasgow on March 31st. Dave said “period” was perhaps a rather unfortunate title for a club night featuring a young all girl threesome. Chris said he thinks the club night’s only on once a month. Rachel told them they were such boys. Chris replied with “damn straight babe”. Dave thought Hip To You was a fairly decent track. You can listen to it here (note:- you’ll need Real One Player) and you can download the mp3 here. There are more unsigned playlist details at Radio 1 Online. All five acts on the unsigned playlist will be profiled on Jo Whiley’s show next week with one winning a permanent place on the playlist and a BBC Maida Vale Session.

CHRIS GETS HIS OWN BACK...AND KICKS ALED:
If you managed to catch the end of the show yesterday or read the review, you’ll know that Chris opened up a text poll asking whether or not he could kick Aled. This was because the “Welsh Wonderboy” had annoyed Chris by being sarcastic about his spots before the show. Chris won a tight text vote so gave Aled the opportunity to boot him up the arse first (cos he was being generous). Aled gave him one hell of a whack and then legged it from Chris (while throwing chairs at him), meaning there was no time left for Chris to return the favour. Today was a different story altogether though - it was time for revenge. Chris for most definitely the first and last time in his life, told Aled to bend over the desk in front of him (good mornin'). Aled said to only kick him gently because Chris’s backside had a bigger surface area than his and was able to deflect the pain more easily. Chris was having none of it and said he’d now hit him harder, although just when he was ready to strike Dominic or somebody else in the studio always distracted him...
Chris - Let me ask you, how do you feel at this point?
Aled (bent over in front of him) - Oh just do it!!! Get it over and done with
Chris - God if I had a pound for every time I’d heard that when someone was bent over the desk, right moving on...
(Dave does a hysterical pig squeal laugh and Dom laughs too)
Chris waited and waited and then finally gave Aled a huge boot up the backside. Aled’s reaction was fantastic. Not quite up to his Pot Noodle Bushtucker Trial scream standards, but certainly getting there. It was a fantastic piece of radio as Aled went berserk. He said Chris caught him right in the middle ...
Chris (to Aled) - Do you want to do it again?
Aled - NO!! What about Rachel?
Chris - Rachel??!!...I’d lose my foot!!!!!
(Dave, Aled and Dom in hysterics)
Chris (laughing) - Eh, it was only a joke Rache, Rache it was only a joke!!!!
Rachel (not sounding too happy) - You’re in big trouble
The final theme played as Rachel told Chris he was a dead man. Aled said he wanted a hug now. Chris told him to go over to Dom then.
Dom - I’m off now, bye

New Radicals You Get What You Give - Since the premature demise of the New Radicals, frontman and singer songwriter Greg Alexander has written songs for several solo performers such as Ronan Keating - Ronan Keating is now married and in that respect something in common with Michael Parkinson - Michael Parkinson is from Barnsley, as is Sunderland manager Mick McCarthy - Mick McCarthy shares the same surname as John McCarthy the former hostage - The word “hostage” shares many of the same letters as the word “postage”, which is what you pay for in the form of stamps - Stamps are collected by philatelists - The word “philatelist” doesn’t rhyme with anything I can think of but does begin with the letter P, much like the word “pencil” - Pencils have different letters to denote their hardness, such as B, H and HB - and letters such as HB that don’t actually make words but exist just as letters are very much part of everyday life, such as HGV in the world of road haulage, KY in the world of jelly and TLC in the world of female American girl groups who sing about Waterfalls - Which links us to TLC and Waterfalls
