It's on tomorrow (Wed, 4th March).

Behind the scenes:

[ianpwilliams]

Is it just me or does Chris sound completely different? At first I thought maybe he was getting his Leeds accent back or something, but I'm not sure what it is. Granted I'm currently listening to the 2007 shows, but still.

[slaphead1982]

He was in his early 30's in 2007. Now he is in his forties. I think it may just be age catching up with his vocal chords.

[ianpwilliams]

Yeah maybe. Although his voice seemed highervthan it was, and normally you expect it to go lower. Although the vocal processing on the radio show probably makes it sound different too I suppose.

Either way it's good to know that I've been missing absolutely nothing by not watching these baking shows

[chrysostom]

It was great to see Chris again I thought. He was on good form for the format & seemed upbeat. Looked fantastic too!

[ianpwilliams]

Yeah he's definitely just as thin as when the radio show finished, if not even thinner. Maybe his voice sounded different because his vocal chords have gotten thinner since 2007!

Would be great if him and the old team could get a slot on Radio 2 though.

[slaphead1982]

I think that request is a Moo point now (As Joey from friends would put it). I find it interesting that they described him as a radio and t.v. presenter. Both jobs he has not done for some time now. I have a nagging feeling that he has a mate in the production team and that's how he got on the show. I do hold out some hope because he would have had to o.k the description of his career. There was no use of the word "Former" in the description. Radio 2 might happen but the old team all together will not happen I think.

Excellent Friends reference there (I went to the replica Central Perk in Liverpool the week after my wedding, it was SO GOOD.)

I've never seen Bake Off before - I don't really like that type of programme so I found it a bit dull (much like when Chris was on Million Pound Drop). It still unnerves me how thin he looks, even though he's been that size for ages now. But he looked and sounded happy and positive, so that's good. Not very good at baking though. Didn't he used to say on the show that he made cheesecakes? I know some type of cheesecake are no-bake but surely it gives you a grounding in the right area...

[ianpwilliams]

Didn't know there was a Central Perk in Liverpool, I used to live there too.

Couldn't see the point of Bake Off though. It was clear that Victoria Wood had baking experience, and surprise surprise she won. But yeah Chris looks great. Haven't given up on some kind of radio return just yet.

[swaddon1903]

He has already said many times that he won't be back on radio.

Hopefully we'll soon find out what this "big secret" thing he's been busy with in the last few months is. Unless Bake Off was it...

Ha! Can't blame anyone for hoping though.

[bmstinton93]

They introduced him as "TV and radio presenter"... He's not been a radio presenter in almost 3 years now.

[Fathomer]

He's "busy writing" according to a friend of his I spoke to last week.

Whether that's a sitcom or sketch show or a gritty kitchen sink drama or a film, I dunno.

[R94N]

Or tweets.

[G-Sizzle]

Or another terrible autobiography.

[Travis Bickle]

I thought he came across pretty well, although has changed so much since the early breakfast show days it's like watching a different person. Good luck to him though. We all change and move on as we get older and he has certainly done that.

[swaddon1903]

Or another terrible autobiography.

It could be an explosive tell-all book about the real reasons why the show ended and why he'll never speak to Comedy Dave again.

Or, more than likely, another terrible autobiography.

[bmstinton93]

There's not much point in him writing an autobiography now. He may as well just come on here and ask us lot for a tenner each.

He should pay us. Most of his life since he left the breakfast show is pretty well covered in the 'Where Next For Moyles?' thread

</sarcasm>

This is basically what happened with the second album. Didn't even bother opening it from the wrapper.

I did. Played it once. Never again...

[slaphead1982]

Track 5 was the best from the album.
