"Oh by the way, if any of you are foolish enough to choose to listen to the Today programme rather than the sublime Chris Moyles show on Radio 1, well please mend your ways. It is laugh-out-loud funny, and Moyles is one of the cleverest people in the land. Currently they are running a brilliant Car Park Catchphrase segment, featuring Robert from Stoke, an enchantingly geeky football fan, who is getting coverage in the Stoke Sentinel, and Ross from south Wales, a businessman. It is the funniest thing I have heard for years. Please don't miss it tomorrow. It's at the end of the show, near 10.00 am so you might have to slip away from your desk."

As mentioned by Dom and Chris on the 16th Dec 2008 show.
He's right! CPCP is consistently the funniest part of a very funny show.

See, I have been saying for ages that if you absolutely must buy a paper, you can't go far wrong with The Independent.

Mark Steel writes in there too, always worth a read, and his telly lectures are good too.

And now CPCP is being axed!?! WTF?

I really hope the replacement can be as good. If it's you know....another "Who Knows Dom?", maybe CPCP can be resurrected.

I think it'll be 'Cheggers plays pop'. That's a blast from my past. I must admit I sensed he was being groomed to take over from Roy Walker... and here was me thinking Radio 1 was being criticised for appealing to people over its age demographic? heh.

Gotta love Cheggers though.

[Yudster]

Have I? I think he is ok in small doses, and occasionally he comes up with something classic, like the Chappers/Dave song, but I find him a bit annoyong to be honest.

[Bonanzoid]

I find it difficult to comprehend how Cheggers can't be viewed as a top notch tit. Granted I loved the "cheggae" song, but regardless he remains primarily a tit.

I would tend to agree, he is a tad irritating, but he really seems like such a nice man. Secret's in the wording, you notice I did say 'Gotta'

[MK Chris]

He is a remarkably nice bloke. Granted, that doesn't make him a great entertainer (although I do quite like him as an entertainer too), but tina11's assumption is absolutely correct.

I've posted once or twice before why I know this, but suffice to say he is.

I did notice you said "gotta" - which I was under the impression was a contraction of "got to". Well my point was that actually I haven't got to.

I apologise. It was a throwaway remark. It's such a shame that irony is so often lost when we are typing on a forum. You certainly don't have to love Cheggers if you don't want to. Far be it for me to force Cheggers down anyone's throat. Let's give the chap a chance though?

[Johnny 1989]

Nice to see that not all of the media have a go at Moyles, but then again The Independent is actually a paper rather than a rag full of "news" stories (and I used the word News in the loosest possible terms)

[Yudster]

Irony is never lost on me. I like to layer it.

[foot-loose]

I'm pretty sure you could be arrested for that.


You're right though, Cheggers is a good choice. And yes, you gotta love him.

[Yudster]

And yes, you gotta love him.

Hah. Make me.
