I have never been a fan of a strong structure to the Moyles show, but it is getting to the point where there is no structure, or even a framework to it at all.
Classical Class isnt a feature, it is just a glorified background jingle. Tedious Link we sometimes get, sometimes we don't and CPC hasn't been played properly in ages.
Quite often the benefit of a feature isnt about the feature itself, it's more that they provide moments of punctuation to the show. The show is just rambling with no direction at the moment, and the re-introduction of the regular features would help get it back on track in my opinion.
I thought Celeb Raspberry was a poor game because it was impossible to guess who the celeb was on the clip alone, but it was a bit of structure to the show and there were frequently entertaining callers too. That, or something similar should be brought back.
The Musical love/hate game was a brilliant feature that they gave up on far too easily.
The show at the moment is going through a bit of a lull for a few reasons and one of them is the lack of regular, staple features being done properly. I never thought I would say this, but I think the show could do with more music if they arent going to do the features properly. I would take more music with shorter, punchier links than long rambling links where nothing is being said of any consequence with few laughs and old stories/jokes are rehashed yet again.
I am basing this on listening to older shows where the show was a bit snappier with fewer voices wanting to be heard and how good Moyles sounded on his own covering for Greg James last week. I think we have all loved the freestyle nature of the show - I know I do- but it has gone a bit too far for me lately.
