I wandered on to this board looking for more news about Moyles imminent departure from Radio 1(early next year it seems)and was attracted to this thread by the name of Danny Baker who was/is one of the best radio broadcasters this country ever produced.<br>I think it's interesting that you put Baker down for his work with Chris Evans without realising that while he may work with Evans,Moyles wants TO BE him.This is why he's so desperate to get the Big Breakfast gig and leave Radio 1;get a celebrity girlfriend;tell us about the drinking ALL THE TIME and pretend to be so into football.<br>Moyles had one stab at TV before and blew it,big style (UK Play).Baker is still used by the BBC as scriptwriter on their big shows,check the credits for the New Years Eve shows,Before They Were Famous etc.<br>If it comes down to pure ability and staying power Baker would win every time,Moyles is just as much a one trick pony as Evans was during his time at Radio 1;that's why he's lost the Saturday show.The listeners are getting bored with the same,tired old stuff week in and week out - and of course Moyles won't make the effort to give them something new as he's saving it all for his move to TV.<br> Oh,another thing,I've looked at both boards and don't see anyone on the Baker board dissing Moyleworld as such,just the man himself.<br> Finally,Stevo - is it wise to use Baker's size as weapon given Moyles' girth?And Daz,Pets Win Prizes,Win Lose Or Draw?Christ,where have you been for the last ten years,it's like ****ging Moyles for working for Hospital Radio in Leeds.<br>
