Has it ever actually worked though? I've never heard it pick out the right names even when they're being serious

Yeah, it's worked a few times - I think either ronan keating or someone from take that (I can't remember their names :)).

I think the bloke who does the voice's 'secret' names are the best.

I'd love it if there was someone called Jason orange who worked at the BBC!

Robbie Williams was the Take That one and Michael Jackson was one that worked that they tried a few days before he died.

I bet every long term listener here read that and immediately heard the words "calling Fergus Dudley! Unless you say cancel." in their heads :)

Makes me think... what would Chris be under? Chris, or Christopher? 'Cos I can just imagine "Calling... Christopher Moyles, unless you say cancel", and... well, it does make me chuckle that voice.

They are still doing "Hello, I'm Listening" and that was basically thought up to fill Saturday Shows because they appeared to do little or no preparation.

We used to have one where I worked. It was always fun to swear into when you were bored. Things like "useless idiots" would get recognised by the system as "Management Accounts".

I've found a tape of the first ever time they did this - not sure what the date is, but it's from afternoons. The quality is a bit ropey but I'm gonna upload it to the sound vault anyway.
