Is it simply that Chappers is more qualified?


Dave can't drive the desk. Unless that's all an act.


He has done the Chappers and Dave Weekend slot on his own.


Was that when Grimmy was off, because he admitted that the producer was driving the desk for him.

They need to get Carrie to stop screaming so much. Its really annoying me now.

You hardly ever heard it when Chris was in control.

I'm loving Carrie this week, she's doing a brilliant job.

Has anyone else also noticed that aswell as playing far too much music. The music has been awful.

I've heard 4 tracks so far from 9am and I only liked one of them. I understand everyone has differant tastes but the music isn't normally this bad.

I've not had a problem with the music played and there has been less today than earlier in the week.

Blame Playlist - the music played is nothing to do with the presenter.

Yes, but show producers can change the music slightly if they want to/to fit the style of the show.

Seeing as the show producer is Aled, who is on the playlist committee, I would imagine he's reasonably happy with it as it is.

Putting the music to one side, I think Vernon is doing a grand job, I foudn him quite funny during the first hour today.

Agreed, he is doing a good Job. The handover with Jo was excellent today, him telling Dave and Carrie to "Shut up" was ace. The drinks tonight should be good for Team Moral.

Vernon Kaye, the Saviour of Chris Moyles.

I am enjoying vern, i think he has really settled in now.

Someone mentioned something about Jo and being shocked at what she said. Could someone tell me what happened as i didn't hear it.

Only last thing i wish Vernan woulden't do is cut records off, unless obviously he has too.

I've heard him trample over the end of several songs that end naturally by themselves and dont fade out.

I just find it a little annoying.

I don't care about the records, this week the star of the show is the climb, and the whole team are keeping it that way brilliantly.

Oh dear, I thought that Vernon pretending not to hear Chris when he asked if he'd received his letter about donating, then refusing to commit to actually saying he'd donated was very awkward. It wasn't really an approrpriate thing to kid about when the listeners have been so amazing this week. Then it got even worse when Chris pulled him up for not taking part in the assault course.

Must agree that the show was better today.

I think it was only a joke, Chris has done the 'you're breaking up' thing lots of times and Vernon probably didn't feel comfortable talking about money on the air.
Also, Vernon wasn't even asked to do the assault course, so I don't see what the fuss is about.

He did mention he had been on "Beat the Celeb" on Tuesday or something filming.

Dom didn't do it either.

You're right it was a joke but I thought considering the tone of the show this week it was a bit of a silly one. Chris didn't sound like he appreciated it either - don't mess with a man up a mountain! LOL.

As for the assault course sorry I got the impression that Vernon had been asked (not on air) but didn't want to do it. I'm fine with him participating or not, I just thought it made for an awkward on air moment.

I think Vernon is doing a great job.

Is it just me though, or do the rest of the team seem more relaxed and happier with Vernon instead of Moyles? Maybe it's just my imagination, but Comedy Dave definitely sounds alot different with Vernon, funnier and wittier!

I think that might be why I like Vernon, although I like Moyles too, Moyles can be quite nasty and mean sometimes in his 'radio persona' (often hiding insults by adding "I was only joking" after them) whereas Vernon is just a nice guy. I don't know, I'm probably reading too much into it all.

Did you see the Day 1 video from the mountain, where Chris is on air and they're filming him?

You can see in that how much he puts on his radio persona...

(Hi, newbie, love Chris)

I dont really know whether i agree or disagree. Disagree probably but i understand sort of what your saying.

I think the team sounds great when they are with Moyles and this week have been more on edge than normal. They've not really known when Vernon was going to fire a record, whereas with Moyles, they do.

I prefer dave when he is more natural, towards the end of this week he has done, but toward the start of the week he sounded alot more scripted.

Either way, I look forward to having Moyles back on Wednesday morning.
