you have to remember that there is almost two sides to everyone on that show and almost to the show itself.
None of it's lying or false - at all, but it's almost as if the personalities on air are a charicature of their real selves. you can almost never guess which angles of you Chris is going to seize on and expand. you then start to become that person on air. Which although IS you is probably a louder version of that one element.
Lizzie and I are now both trained producers. To listen to Chris you'd say I was a work experience job off the streets. I don't mind when he picks on me on air about it becuase it feels like he's picking on the caricature not me (I've only been upset a couple of times but that's because I agreed with what he was saying).
Similarly the seemingly dippy Lizzie is in fact one of the people I respect most at radio 1 because she's really sorted. understands the programme, the studio and Chris - and that's a real achievement.
