My personal highlight would have to be on the first day of the live streaming.
Dave started to read out messages from listeners/veiwers from around the world, prompting Chris to remind him about the off air chat before the show specifically saying not to mention foreign listeners.

Also pomme de tits was a classic but i'm not sure weather that was Dave or Dom

Yep was just about to mention the same gaffe on the first link of the first show of a new year...before hitting play just think about the fake callers paranoia and the push for truthiness in the BBC :D Priceless!

Another beauty is Daves Welsh hillfolk clanger. Rachels facial expression in the background is hilarious! It starts about 6:30 into the clip and continues into the second clip.

Before I started doing the Tedious I didn't pay attention to just how many mistakes he makes in the links. Loads of them never get mentioned on air, probably cos they're not very interesting! I recall one day picking out about six errors and none of them were mentioned. Anything religious, geographical, historical or scientific is a particular problem for Dave. I don't think he does much fact-checking in advance.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dave does zero fact checking, half facts and misstruths are perfectly acceptable!

He should work for the News of the World, he'd be cherished there..... oh no, he doesn't wilfully and deliberately listen to other people's private voicemails.

taking simon mayo and radio one off air for half an hour
bedding (or attempting to) a competition winner on a roadshowGO GO GO.

ah, it was on a podcast once (i think one of the earlier breakfast ones) - and chris was talking about a time where dave had taken a competition winner up to his hotel room. and apparantly ben cooper joked that dave should get a special award for 'exceptional services to listeners'.

if anyone knows which podcast that's on, weigh in :)

For some reason I have a strange feeling it may be on one of the 1998 shows in the archive thread but I can't fully remember

I know, they play Darius on that show earlier on as well, Chris mentions about bringing Darius along with them to Ibiza & Dave says that they'd end up getting their heads kicked in, or something like that :lol:

A well earned bump for this thread for Dave's faux pas today.

I've just found the Snowdon gaffe, so I'll upload an mp3 tomorrow. Does anyone remember what year the Big Weekend gaffe was, any dates would be handy?

Sat and today are up
