Does Comedy Dave actually care about the website and the forum ?

At a guess I would say... no.

Thats a shame. If thats the case - could you kindly just mention to him that we get the idea - because he says the same thing everytime the website is mentioned by Chris.

More to the point, does Chris Moyles actually care?

The show is clearly trying to branch out & attract a more intellectual audience .

Congratulations on being the first forum member (and no doubt the last) to appear on Newsnight...

Very good!

Aled, here's something for your show tomorrow...

Five Live were crediting Newsbeat rather than the Chris Moyles show for the vote.

George Galloways spokeswoman then challenged Chris Moyles to get the listeners to name the prime minister to see if they knew, thus suggesting we were stupid.

23:20 - Anita Annand on 5 live.

Well done Aled, you did a good job!

You've been getting some good press recently - do you think the media's attitude about Chris Moyles and show has changed over the years or has it stayed the same?

Just wanted to add my voice to the masses congratulating you on grilling GG the way we all hoped that Davina would, but didn't. That press conference was sheer class!

WELL DONE ALED!

So what if I like pretty things?

Thank you everyone. It's been a good week.

Not only has it been fun for me, but it's also been good for the show and for Radio 1 to be discussed on so many different platforms - Newnight and 5 Live jump to mind!

I fear that King Of Tickets is one of those features that is more kindly remembered than it was recieved. Bear in mind it was on only once and even Chris panned it!

Beep Beep Busters is growing. I'm sure if I was to play you the first week of Car Park Catchphrase you'd be much more critical than you are about BBB. With a game this size you have to let elements "bed in" before you start complaicating or adding to it. This'll happen over the next few weeks. Roy barely spoke within the game with CPC he was only the host, until people got used to the format, then we started playing with it.

I think it has actually. People are accepting us more now as the standard of what Breakfast radio should be. They're also accepting that Chris is genius at what he does and not the stereotype that they think he is at first listen.

New figures are out next week, so depending on which way they go expect a lot more tails-between-their-legs accepting Chris is doing well / Chris bashing if figures fluctuate at all!
