Dave's Tedious Link

Dave's Tedious Link was a feature on the Breakfast Show carried over from the Afternoon Show. Each day (apart from Fridays from 2007), Comedy Dave would link from the previous track to that day's track via a long-winded route. For example, this is a link from Country Grammar by Nelly to Come Back Around by Feeder:

Grammar is something you learn in school, and normally comes under the banner of English language. English is one of many languages spoken in the world, with other popular ones being Swahili and Welsh. Welsh, first name Denise, is an actress who used to be in Coronation Street. The cast of Coronation Street were all at the Soap Awards last week. A week is about the right amount of time to spend on holiday in New York, which is nicknamed the Big Apple. Apples can be green or red, depending on what type they are. 'Ah' is what you say at the doctors' when they look at your throat. 'Throat' rhymes with 'boat', which is what you'd need if you were planning to take a trip on a river. A river has a mouth, and a mouth in humans is used for feeding, which links to Feeder and Come Back Around.

After the track for that day had been played, Chris would ask Dave if the link was 'seamless'. Dave would more often than not reply that it was, only to be proved wrong by Chris, a member of the rest of the team or correspondence from listeners. Often, the argument would last for a long time.

The feature began in 2002, with the first track being Rocks by Scottish band Primal Scream. The final Tedious Link track in May 2012 was Good Luck, by Basement Jaxx. The name was a parody of Tenuous Links, a feature done on the Jo Whiley show with a similar theme.
