SPRINGWATCH host Chris Packham has laid into Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, calling him "ignorant", "odious" and "mediocre".
In the new series of BBC1's Room 101, he says that anyone who heard Moyles's 52-hour charity broadcast last March — which raised £2.4million for Comic Relief — would have "died in their rooms".

Chris, 50, says on the show, to be screened on February 3: "It's the odious Chris Moyles — just saying his name I have probably developed a rash."

He adds: "One badly damaged marmoset typing on a speak-and-spell machine would produce his average show."

Yeah i read that this morning. What the hell is he on Packham.

That is harsh on Aled, Freya and Matt saying that they are being compared to a damaged marmoset.

Haters gonna hate, what can you do. And much like the joey barton debacle of a few weeks ago, I don't really know who this Packham bloke is.

[SAV1OUR]

Just another middle england bore on a show all about moaning, how clever. Danny Baker tried to put these kind of shows into room 101 last night.

[MrAndee]

This wouldnt bother me in the slightest if it was on Twitter or something ,
But this is going to be broadcast primetime friday evening .. with audience laughter..

[Emmy]

I saw the first episode of this last night. The host is Frank Skinner, who I think likes Chris (I'm sure I can recall him being on the show before?), and he gets to allow or reject the potential Room 101 ideas, so he may well reject it and stick up for Chris. Anyway, all publicity is good publicity as they say.

[Nicola_Red]

He's been on with David Baddiel back when they were promoting Three Lions, not sure if he's ever been in on his own.

[SAV1OUR]

He was on quiz night, seemed ok and had a laugh.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

[northernsteve]

Packham is just jealous that Chris keeps namechecking Terry Nutkins

[English Bob]

Isn't Packham the guy who caused trouble recently by saying we should let pandas go extinct?

[dreamer1978]

Yeah it was him.

[bmstinton93]

Oh no it wasn't.

Haters gonna hate

[R94N]

I guess hating on things is most of what Room 101 is about.

[richbrown]

Anyone else find it odd that the BBC would put a show out on BBC One, in a primetime slot on a Friday, that has someone attack the flagship show of it's own youth radio station and make nasty personal remarks against Chris? If I was Chris I'd be fuming.

[Nicola_Red]

Kermy! Oh Bob, you know me so well.

No.

[richbrown]

No.

I guess you're right. After all, it is a privilege to work for the BBC...

[Bas]

The sun's still going to rise, the world will keep turning, some huge egos get mildly bruised and the BBC get lots free publicity for two flagship shows of theirs.

[Johnny 1989]

Chris Packham is a *, if that is his biggest "hate" to put into Room 101 then he really has some issues.

[Nicola_Red]

Well, we don't know what the others are yet. Or does that article say and I've missed it?

[chrysostom]

I've not listened yet, but the Sun article says that Chris had a massive rant about it this morning?

[Bas]

He did a bit.

[Nicola_Red]

Roughly what time? I missed quite a bit of the show this morning.
