I presume the show will be getting some kind of revamp over the Christmas/New Year break, so was wondering what people thought should happen as regards this years features.

I personally reckon they need to ditch Buzz Off and (controversially) Tedious Link - although still keeping their 2 free choices of records.

Perhaps a new game to replace Roy and Mr Fish is due as well... any thoughts?

Carpark Catchphrase used to be the highlight of the show for me, but the Roy Walker jokes are wearing very thin now, they can't keep that going for much longer!

When we listen at work and Tedious Link comes on, we know it's 9.00 without having to look at the clock so we know it's time to start work, so perhaps that feature should go... :wink:

buzz off must go. it's merely an excuse for chris to play a record and talk all over it.

I thought Buzz Off was alright till they changed it to texting buzz on, buzz off and all that rubbish - they should have kept it in the original format.

You've always had to text buzz off, it's the buzz on which has been added.

I think Buzz Off should go, it would be OK if he didn't talk all over the record. Car Park Catchphrase nearly always has me in stitches.

Sad as it is, Car Park Catchphrase is still the highlight of my day...

And I still find the Roy Walker clips very funny. "Frankly.... Id rather stick a fork in my eye." And lately Moyles has said something followed by a clip of Roy saying exactly the same thing, which has me in stiches.

Yeah buzz off has strated to get annoying with the whole 'buzz on' bit. Seems to be rigged all the time so that chris gets to play all of it. Was far more entertaining when Chris would whine about people buzzing off.

Carpark Catchphrase is the Viaduct of the Breakfast Show. Plus as great as Tedious Link can be, it really has had its day, the longest running of all those features.

I think tedious link should go, they don't really do anything with it such as criticising the link and its kinda got tired now.

yeah but tedious link often provides the only good song on the show. jo whiley gets to play much better records.

Well it's just basically the same records over and over again, with the links less funny than they used to be.

Having said that, good to hear Queens Of The Stone Age again today.

Having said what I have about CPC I take it back, today's was utter brilliance.

Thats the thing though, CPC does occasionally have a spark of total brilliance, but most of the time it is dull IMO.
