The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Has been bloody brilliant.

Towards the end of the last 'season', i was getting bored, there seemed to be no real flow throughout the shows, no real laugh out loud moments, nothing memorable, minus the Sound Clash in Newquay. Whether it was something to do with Dave's wedding coming up, or the TV shows Chris was due to be filming, or Aled's acohol challenge ai dont know, but something was missing, like their minds weren't 100% on the job.

Since they've been back though, it's like they have found themselves again. The L.A shows were pure class, each show had something to take away from it, had something different everyday and the guests were all spot on. Even the video footage online was at such quality, it kind of brought the shows to life. You get some video footage that's a bit of a waste of time, but the L.A stuff was edited a lot better than previous efforts, and actually had some sort of reason for existing. I'd like to congratulate everyone involved in the L.A shows for making them so good.

Last weeks Tardis show was, for me, one of the best i've heard in a long time. I cant stand Doctor Who myself, never been able to get into it, never will either i doubt, but they managed to bring the show so i didnt get mind numbingly bored. John Barrowman was a great guest, i hope they manange to get him in for a proper interview.

It's also the little things, like yesterdays Curry related names link, silly little things that somehow come up in the show and provide some real giggly moments and get me laughing just because it's so childish, even Chris shouting 'MOVE' today when Scott wouldn't answer his phone, just slight little moments that somehow seem to blend in with what's going on.

Even the guests, like Ross Kemp, while the interview wasn't 'funny' as such, it showed that Chris doesn't always have to flirt and muck about to make a good interview, and was one i enjoyed and thought was too short.

Long may it continue.


Oh, and Rob DJ's quiz is still genius, they better not have any plans to drop it!!!!!

Totaly agree - and especially about Ross Kemp, I thought his was a very different kind of interview and it was absolutely brilliant.

The shows have been superb of late, I've actually got back in the habit of listening again if I've missed any. Managed to listen to the whole of todays due to being wide awake at 530am for some reason.......... I need to drink more! I think Ross Kemp has gained an enormous amount of credibility recently. It would have been so easy for him to go down the route of making half decent programmes just for the cash, on the back of Eastenders.

I'm in favour of this suggestion too... Show has been excellent recently. I'm a whole-show-every-day (minus odd couple of mins here and there - try to time that with the music...) listener and have been laughing out loud a lot recently, which gets me odd looks from around the office!! The Lorraine Kelly bit last week nearly had me wetting myself..... 8O

Absotively Posolutely.

Today's bits with Max Beesley and Max + Scott were Comedy Gold.

I didn't think the show could get better after the shows earlier in the year, but it's really at a high point now.

I think the team are on a high after the LA shows, they enjoyed them, they had a good time outside of work while they were out there and seem to have bonded even more closely.

Rachel's Music Quiz is a great addition to the show. Great fun for the team and Play At Home Fun(TM).

I laughed hard listening to them torment Scott with the hidden phones.
I felt a bit sorry for him when I saw the video, but it seems he's taking it in his stride, so it's all good.

I agree completly. During the summer I have to say I wasn't enjoying the show as much, but over last month or so its been brilliant, the best ever. Really well done guys, not many radio shows could say that they are at thier best after 5 years. The show is one of the highlights of the day for me, and I can't listen to my I Pod without the podcast on.
