Features on The Chris Moyles Show

Other features of The Chris Moyles Show included:

Buzz Off

From the first show in 2004, Chris would bring in a CD from his home music library and play a track. If Dave, Aled or Rachel disliked the track, they would 'buzz' it off by saying "Rachel/Aled/Dave buzz". When 2,000 text messages had been received from the listeners, this would be the 'listeners' buzz'. After all four had buzzed, the song would end and Chris would usually be disappointed that nobody liked his choice of song.

Celebrity Raspberry

A celebrity would record themselves blowing a raspberry and callers would guess the identity of that person. Clues were issued each day as to the mystery raspberry-blower. If no caller had correctly identified the person after the fifth day, the competition would be opened to texters, with the first text in being declared the winner. The prize was a set of mugs featuring the faces of the team members.

Celebrity Tarzan

A celebrity would be recorded doing a Tarzan howl, and listeners were invited to call in to guess who it was. If they were right, they won a prize, and if they were wrong, then it rolled over to the next show.

Chicks win Tix

Another vehicle for giving away football tickets on a Friday, two women would phone in to win tickets to one of the weekend's football games. Juliet would ask a quick fire question to determine the winner.

Dog or Person

Dave suggested various names, such as 'Roley', 'Wolf' and 'Fred', and the team had to decide if they where a dog or a person. Following this there was a numbers round, where you had have to convert some dog years into human years. Needless to say, like all of Dave's quizzes, this one didn't quite work as he planned, partly to do with its hideously complicated scoring system.

Easy Portuguesie

During Euro 2004 the team presented the show from a villa in Portugal, and Dave tried to teach Chris some Portuguese phrases every day, despite the fact he can't speak any Portuguese himself.

Flat Idol

Aled had a rat in his flat, which led to Chris to discovering that his flatmates where scrounging off him and didn't have jobs. Every day Chris played clips of potential new flatmates so Aled could decide if they were suitable. The feature came to a sudden halt when Aled announced that his flatmates had all now got jobs (although this was obviously pre-planned).

Guess Who

If a member of the team had spotted a celebrity while out and about, the rest of the team would try to guess who it was by asking yes/no questions. For example, "Is it a man?", "Is it a woman?", "Are they a singer?" and so on. This game was originally started by Producer Will. A partially memorable game was when the feature lasted ages, as Dave said that the celebrity "couldn't be any more English", despite the person being Sean Connery (who is from Scotland).

Half Time

The bit of the show at about 9:05 when Chris and Dave "kick back and relax" for 10 minutes by rambling about nothing in particular. And yes, that is two thirds of the way through the show. This bit probably infuriates Moyles haters, but Rajar (the radio listening figures people) once revealed that this hour is the most popular in the show, despite most people being at work. The bed originally used is Tomoyasu Hotei - Battle Without Honour Or Humanity, which can be found on the Kill Bill sound track, but it was then replaced by a specially commissioned version with a more rocky style.

King of Tickets

The King of Tickets (Dave with a posh accent and a bit of reverb) came in to the studio to offer tickets to a football match, which he was unable to attend, because he was busy having lunch with 'The Duchess of Kent', and sacking his gardener. He invited 'the working classes' to call in so they could go to the football instead. He then decided which out of the two callers most deserved the tickets. This had to be both the worst and best feature ever, but it was only played once. Those who heard it will know why. Listen here to part one. Part two.

Reverse-A-Word

Another feature to be filed under 'Dave's Rubbish Quizzes'. Dave would start reading the letters from the end of a word, with the number of points decreasing every time another letter is read out. Unbelievably, despite being somewhat shambolic on the radio, Challenge TV produced a low budget one-off of the show for TV which you can watch here. Cynics would suggest this was just to get some easy ratings and publicity (and they did).

Whattity What

In a homage to TV quiz show Blankety Blank, Chris reads out sentences and asks callers to identify the missing words, which he has replaced with the word 'what'.

Where Am I?

Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood would record five clues as to where he was, and the team had to guess from the clues where he was.

Where's Aled?

Aled hides in a different place in the UK every day and the listeners have to find him. When they spot him they have to say a predetermined 'password' down the phone to Chris. Aled would give some vague clues through the show as to his location. The winners won the chance to win a trip to Portugal to watch some of the Euro 2004 games. It sounded like a good idea (even though it was probably invented by some sort of 'creative department') but it dragged on a bit. They bring this feature back occasionally for outside broadcasts.
