Who the hell is a Likely Lad? I've never seen him around before.

[Bridgie]

[Adam]

newbie. they come in their millions

[Uglybob]

[Adam]

[Minnie the Minx]

Minnie The Minx! I'm hurt!

And what talent did you have in mind I should have?

I make the teas, answer the phones, write the scripts, get the songs, set up the studio, research and edit items and now research, produce and present Radio 1's Fame Academy content. What talent am I lacking in order to fulfill my role as BA at Radio 1?

FAAled

I never said that.

It was what I found on the BBC message boards someone else said it.

I said I thought Academy Aled sounded better.

Now, was it the real you on the Radio 1 board?

[Uglybob]

I sense a flaw

Aled does an update every day
Chris doesnt watch on Friday night cos he is always out.
He cant watch the Tuesday show because he does his show at the same time.
He cant watch the Thursday edition for the same reason.

So he wont have a clue or a care about Fame Academy.

[pond life]

Will the real Aled please stand up

Surely, Chris doesn't need to see it - that'll be my job. It could be a good thing as the questions he asks me should be what Joe Bloggs at home is asking if they don't watch the show. There could be a danger that Chris and I get lost in FA (or BB) world and we lose the audience.

So I see it as positive.

[Uglybob]

be truthful if this show was on Channel 4, would you still be devoting 10 minutes to it.

[FAAled]

Will the real Aled please stand up

confused!?

[Nablo.]

Feel free to ignore him, we do

What... Like Big Brother?

[Bridgie]

lol good point

[Uglybob]

Big Brother is a phenomenom though, it has the viewers to guarantee it. Fame Academy is up against Emmerdale on Tuesday & Thursday and 8 million watch it at least (face it Moyles isnt the big competition). The thing about Big Brother was its limited competition at 10pm at night. For 18-34 who is going to be watching the News At Ten.

[pond life]

UGLYBOB tell me: Is Fame Academy gonna have the same level of surveillence/cameras as BB?

[kendra k]

you're so freaking cynical!

i like the attention paid to bb and fa. it makes me sound more knowledged/sad than i really am.

It's not about whether it's a phenomenom or not. Radio 1 is targeted at 15-24's. Big Brother is clearly big for 15-24's and it was a very easy thing to start doing. -BBC- Radio 1 want us to replicate the format of our coverage of Big brother because it's an equally easy way to cover BBC's version of it's 15-24 (+) programme.

So even if Fame Academy wasn't on the BBC we'd probably do it. We'd do it to Popstars if there was an easy way of doing a daily update on it. We agreed on Fame academy because we can do SO much more than Big brother as we'll have complete 100% access to every aspect of it as it's in-house. why wouldn't we do this.

plus, and Chris agrees with this, it's great to be the official place for updated news on Fame Academy as it's going to get very big with the might of BBC Choice, BBC1, BBCi on the net and Radio 1 all trailing it and trailing that you can get more info on the programme by tuning into Moyles. This has potential to bring a new audience in for Moyles. Big brother could not have done that.

UGLYBOB tell me: Is Fame Academy gonna have the same level of surveillence/cameras as BB?

On Sky Digital I think you can watch it 24/7 and as soon as BBC FREEVIEW comes along other people can too. I dont know nothing about how many cameras etc, itll probably be on the site. Remember that you can also check ceefas page 530. Jesus im turning into Aled.

[jc]

Christ, what a bunch of cynical suspicious bastards we are. - jc

[FAAled]

UGLYBOB tell me: Is Fame Academy gonna have the same level of surveillence/cameras as BB?

The Big brother element of the Fame Academy project is made by the people who made BB: Endemol. using the same team and the same equipment and methods. yes it will.

[Stevo_trash]

i'm a little drunk and tipsy so before anyone attacks my naivity, i shall warn you that i'll bite your bollocks off.

If this 'FAAled' character actually aled?

If it is, please erase the first statement from you minds.

[Uglybob]

What happens then if the ratings fall? Will you still cover it

[Nablo.]

So the people who are up for eviction sing on Friday so do we vote them out acording to their performance like Pop Idol style.

Don't really know as I'm not watching the thing and I missed the FA update today due to being at work. My excuse for not knowing anyway.

Finally a way to get a plug in
