The show today began with, inevitably, lots of Top Of The Pops, commercial-radio-DJ impersonating banter, but not after we learned the fascinating specifics of Chris' morning routine. Today, we went away from the Chris Moyles Show feeling all the better for having learnt he indulges in a little Letterman watching on ITV2 at ten past five of a morning. We also gain the benefit of learning that Carrie would love to be able to have a shower with more than one other person- one for the blokes, that moment was.
And so, to ToTP. Dom shares his fears with us that he looks silly on telly, or as he unfalteringly put it, 'simple'. Sadly for Dom, no one disagreed with him, so far as I can remember. This somehow led to Some Dot Cotton and Jim Branning from Eastenders impressions- seems like impressions were the order of this early morning link, really- and some target references to 'Bungo', 'Zoppy' and 'Gorge', thanks to a listener's commendations of the earlier Jim and Dot impressions. It was all very surreal, as Chris said, and so we moved on.
Moyles and his Breakfast Team are hosting ToTP tonight on BBC2 tonight, didn't you know? Bet that was a revealation. This week's chat has mostly included some at least passing reference to the event, and today is of course no different. Ideas over riders and dressing rooms were bandied around, and yet again, in another moment of perfectly surreal breakfast radio, the conversation pivoted around to showering at BBC Tv Centre, and how minging the facilities are- but knowing Carrie she probably frequents the place a lot, because the shower rooms are big.
Straight after tonight's possibly historic broadcast on the Beeb, Dave isn't hanging around for a beer because he and Chappers are off to Sunderland for the highly under-publicised (cough) Radio One's Big Weekend ticket giveaway. So dedicated is Dave, he won't even be staying for a swift half.
Ticket Giveaway
This week, the competition was for die-hard Man U fans only, in honour of seeing the much lauded (so I've heard as football is not my forte) Man U v Newcastle United. Dave, being the compassionate footie fan he is, set the challenge for Man U fans to answer the phone with 'Everton 1- Man U 0'. There is much praying that the phone isn't answered with a barrage of expletives from the lucky caller, but Offcom was saved the trouble dealing with complaints this morning as Bev, the winner, picks up the phone and complies with what's been set. And that's this morning's ticket giveaway.
So, back to ToTP (but what else?). Chris hits on the plan to fool Aled into wearing full black-tie dress code. Tuxes for the lads, ballgowns for the ladies. Genius, some might say. The topic then returns to Carrie's shower gaffe, and despite much encouragement, Chris can't convince her to give a quote for the Daily Star, as they're bound to pick up on a member of 'wacky' Chris Moyles' team saying such a thing. 'Who hasn't had it?'- possibly the quote of the day- is sadly rejected. Shame.
Dave's birthday gets a mention, as he and Chris reminisce over fond memories of Dave's 30th in Derry last year, and his brilliant party at which Faithless were present, much to his delight. Unfortunately (for Chris), Mike Skinner of The Streets fame was unable to attend, but they had a great time anyway, and he hopes his birthday this year will be able to measure up, so to speak.
After Ciara's current 'song', 1-2 Step gets an airing, opinions over the song are also put on the table. There isn't exactly a general consensus to being a fan of her crunk style, but that said, Rachel and Aled like it. Dave highlights the fact that the name Ciara is in fact pronouned like that of the infamous brand of car, giving birth to the additions of Ford Mondeo, MC Escort and DJ Focus to the Ciara collective.
After some debate over Hell's Kitchen Extra Portions, Mark Durden Smith and Dave bearing a striking resemblance to Judith Chalmers, mother of said TV presenter, somehow we're back to the surreal aspect once more, as discussion turns to space bras, with Dave claiming they're structured for re-entry. Cue much laughter. And Dave leaving the studio, naturally, being the root cause.
The hot topic of the morning get a re-visit as the ToTP discussion resumes. We learn that the intetion for Aled to be jogging on a treadmill next to Tony Christie on the glitzy ToTP stage has been thwarted, and he's been relegated to a random podium situated on the opposite side of the studio to Christie. Which points to the fact that he either a) has a restraining order out against him or b), as Chris pointed out, the big bosses said no. Aled's still convinced the dress code is black tie. Whether he does by tonight remains to be seen. You never know, it could even be another fantastic red suit as was the one he sported to Dave's wedding. Fingers crossed.
The next link finds the team refusing to even mention ToTP. Of course I'm lying, but I thought it would be nice not to add a bit of variation to this review. Instead, we hear about Danny, the 'best warm up man around.' Other ToTP behind the scenes team members we get an insight into the fascinating lives of include Annie, the script editor who vows to tell Chris to 'shut up' if he overruns on tonight's broadcast, and Andi Peters and, later on, Reggie who's bought to us via a short but not short enough phone call.
Sme picture discs and Yorkshire puddings topped with beef later (which Dom, naturally, won't touch- he's a vegetarian, don't you know, despite the chicken and duck eating he does on occasion) and Dom's still harbouring fears that he looks simple on telly. Bless him. But not as simple as Rob DJ, we learn, who looked positively inbred when he was spotted after running some kind of marathon for charity.
Garth Crooks is on the phone next, the ex-Spurs legend but still legend, no doubt about that (despite not even being on a 'real' channel, so nur). The man who likes to talk gives his Score Seven predictions, along with Chris and Dave's, before leaving just in time for today's Tedious Link. We see yesterday's classic, Van Halen- Jump linked to Killer by Adamski. Not the Seal version, you understand. Must be Adamski.
Time for the half time ramble, which sees the computer game chat continued. Chris isn't really a computer game kind of guy, finding them inexplicably boring after ten minutes and no, he doesn't want to see Vernon's Star Wars helmet, despite Dave's offers. Why would he want to see Vernon's helmet, at any rate? (Oh, the innuendo). Dave's labelled kinky for wanting to see Chris in a Star Wars themed suit. Well, who wouldn't?
Post-Newsbeat sees Dom throwing up, or tossing up (take your pick of either lovely description) grapes for Carrie to catch in her mouth, followed by some scintilating grape talk. Dave manages to insult Sunderland in the process- he's going to be as welcome as a plague now, he reflects- before the show turns to Carpark Catchphrase.
Carpark Catchphrase
After the obligatory Roy interaction, the competition begins. It's Dave the farmer versus Steve in his biscuit truck. The winning catchphrases are, as follows;
Where ever I lay my hat, that's my home;
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Dave is successful and hilariously (or not) cuts Chris off before he gets a chance. Chris phones him back, vowing to pass on a pair of Radio One's Big Weekend tickets in honour of his supreme humour and brilliance. I'm surprised he didn't offer him the post of Director Of Comedy, to be honest, it was that inspiring. Chris proceeded to simply cut him off, having the last laugh. Roy Walker wishes Dave a happy birthday for Sunday, and rounding off the show, a parody of Akon's 'Lonely' is discussed. Please no, help us all.
In Addition.....
Rachel likes a bit of Rooster!
Paul Turner jingles- they're the wrong ones, balls.
Sunderland pub quiz is on the cards.
Dom is tense, Chris is a teepee (cue drumroll).
Switching off Ipods.
Fancying Tiffany and Debbie Gibson.
Royal Gardeners is on after ToTP, oh yes.
Aled's gonna wear a top hat and tails tonight, and Dom will be modelling a wig.
