The studio air con was bust this morning so Chris and co had to spend the entire show stuck in stuffy, uncomfortable sauna-like temperatures. Chris decided to use this hot weather to his advantage however, by modelling a Union Jack flag as both a sarong and a headband, prompting Dave to wonder why Chris didn’t pick up anything at the Elle Style awards last night. With his headband on, Chris even did the woman out of the shower flick-twist-tuck motion, following Juliette’s advice on how he should “bend over and tuck it into the flap”. Chris and Dave both missed Back To Reality on five last night, Chris blamed his Sky Plus for either deleting it or double recording. Surely the best story to come out of that show so far involves Rik Waller’s bed being too big for him (read it thanks to Ananova here). Chris saw a bit of Corrie last night and despite thinking it was OK, just couldn’t understand how that storyline could ever happen. Corrie experts Rachel and Comedy *I only watch it cos the wife watches it* Dave, thought it was great. A show that definitely wasn’t great last night though was the new BBC 3 show “Live at Johnny’s”, live from Johnny Vaughan’s shed. Chris thought his TV was playing up and he was actually watching a sloppy rehearsal but in fact it was the actual show. The Peter Andre and magicians in love segments were the worst bits. Chris said he seems to slag off Johnny a lot but he does actually like him and thinks he’s funny. Dave thinks that the TV material he’s done since The Big Breakfast just hasn’t suited him. Chris said that if his new radio breakfast show (he’s taking over from Chris Tarrant on Capital FM in London soon) is anywhere near as bad as last nights TV show then Chris and Dave will be laughing all the way to number one. It’ll turn out that he’ll be brilliant on the radio though as that’s how these things go. Vaughan’s Saturday morning radio show Fighting Talk on 5 Live is quite a good listen anyway. As for last night though, Chris said him and Dave could have done the show just as badly at half the price. This sparked off an idea for a “Chris and Dave live from the toilet show”, with such features as the Chain Game and Celebrity Logs in The Bogs. High brow entertainment (before 7am) from The BBC.

If your a Little Britain fan and are reading this review before 6:30pm on the day it was written (Tue 17 Feb) then you will be interested to know that the original radio series of Little Britain is being re-run, starting tonight at half six on Radio 4. Chris plugged this and said that it was probably the first time ever Radio 4 had been cross promoted on Radio 1 (well kind of not as Dead Ringers has been mentioned before on the afternoon show). Chris played some funny clips from the Little Britain radio show, including one featuring Marjorie Daws at Fat fighters. The show is tonight at 6:30 on Radio 4, 92-95FM. Chris picked a fantastic Buzz Off tune for todays show, Kids by Robbie and Kylie (the album version including the “bird that looks like Billy Connolly” rap at the end). Chris said it reminded him of pogoing to it at Knebworth last summer. Aled was loving it, singing all the way through. This resulted in Dave and Rachel buzzing in to stop him on 2:45 and 2:51 respectively. The listeners were next on 3:17 and Aled did buzz it off on 4:06, although I would have left it running for the remaining few seconds. In vast contrast to todays Buzz Off, Chris also played a new slice of euro pap sweeping the nation, courtesy of it being championed by Scott Mills, so much so that a special dance routine to it has been set up on Scott’s Radio 1 mini-site. It’s the Cha-Cha Slide by DJ Casper. Chris correctly analysed it as an “absolute pile of bilge” and he said he wants to lock DJ Casper in a room with Blazin Squad and some man eating chickens (perhaps with Scott Mills thrown in as well). There is just 5 days until Moyles hits 30 and his birthday show will be this Friday. Chris claimed to know who the special guests are already (apart from Peter Andre who was confirmed ages ago) although Rach and Dave denied they knew anything about it.

WILL YOUNG LIVE IN THE STUDIO:
Old friend of the show Will was back from holidaying and working in Oz and live in the studio from 8 until 9:15 today. Will is up for Best British Male at tonights Brit Awards, facing stiff competition from Daniel Berd-ingfield, Dizzee Rascal, David Bowie and Badly Drawn Boy. Chris thinks Bedingfield’s got it in the bag as it will make for a nice video message with shots of New Zealand in the background. Chris told Will the old Bedingfield - So Solid Crew “see you in the charts” story, after which Will asked Chris if he gets on with Daniel or not...
Chris - What me and Daniel? Oh we’re great buddies. He loves me although the guys insane - he’s got a screw loose.....well not now obviously cos his forehead would fall apart
(Dave and Will laugh)

Chris’s non-stop plugging (some might say rigging) last year was of course the reason that Will won his Brit, although there was no thank you in his speech, meaning Will sent Chris a card to apologise. Chris said he’s still got it - well it’s still on eBay anyway. Will said his mum, dad and sister might have been listening to the show today. His sister is 28, single and apparently quite fit. Chris perked up at this point although he’s spoken for of course. Will is going shopping with his sister today to try and get her an outfit for the Brits. Dave needs to go shopping as well but if not, to quote him directly - “I’ll have to get the wife to iron me a shirt when I get home”. Rachel shook her head at him and asked why he couldn’t do it himself. His excuses were that a) he’s a bloke and b) he’s a man of the 90’s. Chris was also considering going to buy some new gear for tonight but complained that much of the stuff he likes is never there in extra large size. Will suggested Chris try getting clothes from a catalogue called Fat Face. Chris thought he was taking the mick (cue hysterics from Will & Dave).
Chris - Fat face? Eh? You’ll have a bruised arse in a minute...by the time I’ve shoved my boot up there
Dave - Easy
Chris (laughing) - That could have gone out the wrong way
Dave (laughing) - 8:29
Chris (laughing) - He only came in for an interview!!
(Everyone in hysterics)
Chris - All our guests leave with something from the show, what your leaving with I have no idea

Other highlights of Will’s interview today were him reading the weather at 8:30 and also throwing a paper aeroplane straight into Chris’s eye. In return Chris played Will’s new single called Still Game (which is out on March 15th - was mediocre) but Will was more interested in Chris playing a 1964 R’n’B song from a an old compilation CD he’d brought in. Despite first saying no, Chris agreed to play a bit of it. After opening the CD case he found a misplaced CD of new Will Young demos, which he only played three seconds of after Will’s request. He played about 30 seconds of the song Will wanted him to play - You’re Welcome To The Club by some old dude (Will said he’d won a £50 bet now).
Will - I do think this puts a smile on your face first thing in the morning
Chris - Well think again
Will (laughing) - If I was driving along I’d think...
Chris - Switch off?
Will (still laughing) - ...I’d think...
Dave - Are we nearly there yet?


THE CHRIS MOYLES SHOW AT THE BRITS 2004:

Tonight is the big Brits night at Earls Court in London and thank god the booze is back after last years dull ceremony. Tonight Chris, Dave, Rachel and Aled will be backstage in the makeshift Radio 1 studio (being occupied earlier by Sara Cox who’s live backstage this afternoon from 3). There is no Radio 1 show live from the Brits later so Chris will be recording interviews with the winners and other star names, to be replayed on tomorrow mornings special Brits breakfast show. Chris asked for possible questions to be sent in by the listeners on 81199 and via e-mail. I know the team have been messing about with a tombola over the last couple of days, perfecting the “lucky dip” question scheme which will come into play this evening at the Brits. Some examples of questions so far include “Have you ever ridden a horse?”, “What is your favourite motorway?” and the fast becoming legendary “What is your favourite type of cheese?”. Catch all the Brits aftermath and interviews tomorrow, beginning at 6.55am on Radio 1. Chris’s claim yesterday that he hadn’t been invited to the Brits was obviously a lie and I’m 75% sure he’ll be presenting the R1 award for Best British Breakthrough Artist tonight (probably alongside Edith I would guess). I just hope he’s prepared for some booing. After the awards have finished there are numerous backstage parties taking place of course. The team have been invited to the Duran Duran one but seemed more intent on joining Will Young at the BMG one (which Chris said was meant to be the best). Chris mouthed off saying BMG had been really awkward with them, only to be interrupted by Rachel saying that it was now all sorted. Dave said the people at BMG are some of “the most hospitable people we’ve ever met”. Kym from Bolton won the chance to be a runner on the Brits competition last week and was on the phone just before 9:30. She said she was having a great time but couldn’t reveal any details about the ceremony whatsoever. Chris asked if there was anything she wanted bringing to her as they will see her later on. She said a KFC Popcorn chicken meal with Pepsi. Dave asked if she wanted to go large instead of his usual line asking whether “you’d like to maximise your meal”. Kym said the highlights of her time so far were seeing both Duran Duran and 50 Cent rehearsing. Believe it or not but 50 Cent will actually be on the show on Thursday. Rachel (from the mean streets of Kiddy) taught Chris the correct pronunciation of “Fiddy’, which Dave then rather unfortunately termed “Kiddy Fiddy” before quickly realising his potentially quite serious mistake. Rach says 50 Cent scares her. Chris said he’s seen far worse in some areas of Leeds and even reminded her that the shows very own Aled Haydn Jones has been shot at twice and has survived (when he went to college in Swansea).
Chris - Aled, Westwood and Fiddy can all swap drive-by stories.....well drive-thru when it comes to Aled
Dave - It was a McDonalds wasn’t it?
Chris (laughing) - Yeah

The awards are being hosted by Cat Deeley and are on tonight at 8pm on ITV1 (look out for Chris). The backstage gossip is at 7pm on ITV2 with that Irish eejit Colin Murray and *shock horror* Kate Thornton. The awards are being broadcast as-live and actually start around 5pm. Check back on this page after 10:30pm tonight to find out who’s won, whether they agreed with my predictions (made in January - see review archive) and which member of The Chris Moyles Show team won The Brits Sweepstake.

CARPARK CATCHPHRASE - MATCH ABANDONED:
ANDY who delivers bathroom suites in Chesterfield
VS
ALEX who drives for Tescos Online Delivery in Telford
**(Chris cut both callers off today because without any shadow of a doubt they were the 2 thickest carpark catchphrase contestants ever and were just doing everyones head in)**

Daves Tedious Link
Beck Loser - Loser is the opposite of winner, as in Michael Winner the star of the “Calm Down” adverts - Calm down is what you might say to an excitable child who’s just drunk a very sugary and fizzy drink - Fizzy drinks are often sold in cans - The word “cans” rhymes with Franz as in Franz Ferdinand who are currently enjoying chart success with their single Take Me Out - Take Me Out is what you imagine a dog might say when desperate for the toilet, if they could speak the same language as us which of course they can’t - Can’t Fight This Feeling was a big hit for Reo Speedwagon - Wagons lead horses, as do jockeys - Jocky Wilson is a huge name in the world of darts - The singular of darts is dart which as well as being something you might throw in a pub is the name of a river in South West England - South West England is the region that contains both Devon and Cornwall - Cornwall has produced many famous people in recent times, including Fame Academy winner Alex Parks and Everton goalkeeper Nigel Martyn - Nigel Martyn is a car owner as is Andrew Ridgeley - and Andrew Ridgeley was the former musical partner of George Michael until he decided to ditch the foppish loser and make a break for solo stardom and musical freedom - Which links us to George Michael and Freedom
