I cant remember exactly what happened, but weren't Evans and Moyles good friends at one stage, like Moyles was doing his LIVE with show on Channel 5 and Evans production company ran the show? then what happened?

[jt78963]

Didn't they gas Chris but keep the name of the show for the next host?

[Johnny 1989]

From what I remember, Moyles wanted the show to be called "Chris Moyles Live", however it was called "Live With Chris Moyles", which if I recall correctly, he said he didn't like the sound of as it was a title where he another name could be inserted in if he got dropped (which did eventually happen when it became "Live With Christian O'Connell").

All I know is that Moyles has said they haven't spoke for a while because "basically he's a bit of an idiot" (which is on one of the Podcasts, not sure which one) which seems to refer about the way Moyles was dropped from the show.

This is just speculation, but I'm wondering if it was the way that it was all handled, that was the reason why they don't talk, perhaps when Moyles asked Evans as to why he was dropped from Live With, he could have possibly replied with "erm, because Channel 5 asked me to", or a similar cop-out answer which may have pissed of Moyles a bit. That's all just speculation though & could be just total bollocks, of course

i think Chris Moyles is way better than Chris Evans and i also think that Chris Moyles has a better show than Chris Evans its more entertaining what has Chris Evans got oh yeah Nothing who agrees with me? and also who thinks Chris moyles has a better sense of humour than Chris Evans because i do....can Chris please play Take That Greatest day, Relight my fire and also 2 Westlife us against the world and Dreams come true xxx

From his book, Chris Evans was all over Chris when he first started doing the TV show, Evans then had a strop because Chris asked to change the format, not a proper in your face strop, but just dropped Chris like a bad smell.

I was thinking this the other day, Moyles is way better than Evans but

1. Evans makes mega money buying Virgin Radio, something Chris is not going to be able to do
2. Evans shags Billie, which Chris would have loved to have done
3. Evans gets the biggest Radio show in the UK

If I were Chris I would really hate him!

[Yudster]

I love you Boboff.

If you read Moyles' book, he explains it in detail. He basically voiced his concerns about how the Channel 5 show was going to Evans. Evans just completely blanked him afterwards, apparently Moyles was so frustrated that when all the cast and crew went to a pub for a little wrap party thing, he asked Evans if he wanted a drink. 'Guinness' Evans replied, without even looking at Moyles. Apparently that was the most he spoke to him!

So yeah, Evans was an immature twunt basically.

[Johnny 1989]

Thanks Bob & Bob, I had a feeling it had something to do with the TV show, I haven't read the second book yet.

[Boboff]

We'll let you of, busy with the Archive and all that.(plus it's shit!)

Thanks

So the sequel's not that good then, that's a shame, although I imagine it was part of the deal to write a follow up soon after. It would have been better if he wrote it 10 years after the first one

[Boboff]

Yeah it was all padding, he can't dish the dirt on the BEEB as he's still there, so it was all politically correct large chapter titles and photos!

[Lactating Man Nips]

So yeah, Evans was an immature twunt basically.

Unfortunately the post-burnout blandness is even more nauseating.

During his 'zoo' days I once crossed him in a corridor at a golf club and although he resisted eye contact he glimpsed at my staring mush at the very last moment - he then tutted to himself with mock-restraint. Recently, after his apparant lobotomy, I bumped into him on the street and as our shopping bags touched he beamed and nodded to me with an 'oops sorry'. What a bastard.

[Yudster]

I kind of liked him better when he was an alcoholic arsehole too. But he's still better than Wogan or Mills.

Chris Evans is quite a nice guy nowadays,he's changed a lot since he weas on radio one.He's happily married with a baby now.It's a shame he and Moyles havent patched up their diferences.I'm sure Evans doesnt bear any grudges,and I don't think he'll be too obsessive about trying to beat Moyles in the ratings either.
