I think thats rubbish - If u took the time to read Chris' autobiography u would know that he CHOSE Rachael as his producer so if anything she should be grateful that he even lets her speak on air!!!!!! :twisted:

Well done. Here, have a Penguin.

Freedom of speech and opinion. Afterall, Moyles is funded by the public, and therefore like every other publicly-funded entity, the people are entitled to have their say.

Granted, some users on this site are only interested in puerile and bigoted Moyles-bashing, but there are those of us who are more liberal and mature in our approach and prefer to generate constructive, and where possible, humourous comment and criticism.

Second - Chris really is the saviour of Radio 1 - Imagine this.............mornings without him!!!????????


I managed perfectly well for 21 years until Moyles took over the Breakfast slot in 2004. I'm sure I could cope after he's gone.

Finally - if Chris is like the rest of us - sleeping in and being late is NORMAL!!!! So shut the * up!!!!


You've obviously never been in full-time employment. Judging by your grammar skills and inability to articulate yourself to a decent standard, I'd say that you're probably about 13-years-old and currently being 'educated' in a failing comprehensive school.

It would be great to have a job where we can wake up and choose whether or not we feel like going into work that day. All of us would love to have that flexibility. Unfortunately, this is the real world full of capitalist ideals and conformity where you're nothing, absolutely nothing without money.

If I woke up on Monday morning and decided to go back to bed and actually fall asleep for another half an hour and then have to be re-woken by my obviously more professional colleagues who were frantically phoning me to get my ass into work - I would be sacked without hesitation. Perhaps if R1 docked Moyles a days wages (£2,000) every time he was late, maybe he wouldn't treat his colleagues and listeners with such contempt.

Moyles needs to remember that no one, however much they themselves believe it, is irreplaceable. He may believe himself to be the 'savior' of Radio 1 and is invincible, but in reality R1 has been a very popular and successful radio station for 40 years and will continue to be sucessful long after Moyles has ridden off into the sunset.

Oh bloody hell, calm down dearest! Let me just state some facts, first of all, you're right about capitalism, sucks doesnt it.

When you're at the top you earn the right to take it easy. I understand that he makes quite a habit of being late these days but hes gone so far to the top of his tree now that he really is in charge of his own ship, a very confident and self-assured Saviour is he, and very confident of what he can get away with Dont forget - the 6:55 bit has been axed for 2007, I personally miss it, the banter and the time little chris and dave had to take over. I personally dont care what time he rolls in, (within reason) I like the idea of Rachel and Dave panicing not knowing what the hell to do, gives them a well needed reality check, so I sometimes think he does it on purpose to keep them on their toes, he wants the show to be about them too, a back-handed vote of confidence, if only.

As for R1 being popular after he leaves, nah, I just cant see anyone matching up to him, infact I'm 100% sure. When ladetteism exploded into the media in the late 90's with coxy and zoe it was original and the hype worked for a while but I wasnt listening to radio then so thats just a guess, but it died out because ultimately it wasn't original anymore. Finally I can't see a day when people will bore of Moyles, I just cant, its like listening to a sitcom most mornings, remember like someone pointed out earlier - the show isnt just about him, hes given the team a chance to be known by the audience - but on Friday, what transpired was, it seems they only say something in response to him - when hes there, he proved a point that they wernt making an effort with the audience who have formed a unique and trusted relationship with them thanks to him over the years.

That is spot on, the voice of reason, and no quotes from his autobiography, especially those about his current work collegues ( just because it's in there, do we all have to beleive thats how he REALLY feels ?)

If Dave and Rachel panic, then they're obviously employed above their capabilities. Which I sincerely doubt.

I would bet that the conversation went something like this:

Rachel (to Dave): "F*cking hell. Fatty's still in bed..."
Dave: "What?! Again?"
Rachel: "Yeah I've just spoken to him on his mobile. He got up and somehow ended up back in bed?"
Dave: "The missus feeling frisky was she?"
Rachel: "I dunno"
Dave: "What time is he gonna be in, then?"
Rachel: "About quarter-past I reckon"
Dave: "Shall we just drop a couple of songs into the scheduler till he arrives or shall we just start the opening link without him?"
Rachel: "Well, I think it's wise if you do a short intro link and then line-up a couple of songs"
Dave: "The listeners will twig, you know!"
Rachel: "Yeah, but what can we do? Seriously, this is starting to piss me off."
Dave: "I know what you mean. Well, I'll do a short intro and just say the big man will be here in a minute."
Rachel: "You make him sound like Santa!"
Dave: "HaHa! Yeah. Ahh well, let's just get this sh*t rolling..."

It seems to me that Aled is being groomed to be the eventual replacement for Rachel when she (inevitably, how many Moyles producers have been and gone over the years?). moves on. This week will be another one where Rachel is away on other work duties with Aled taking over. Is that now the 3rd or 4th time that's happened? And wasn't there an on-air conversation about her and Aled swopping roles for one week out of a set period, a few months ago.

If Rachel does leave, then I reckon it'll be down to a promotion or something like that rather than her and Moyles not being able to work together. In fact, I even think these wheels are already in motion judging by Aled's recent increased on-air production duties.

May I ask what you do for a job Fred? I'd like to think I'd get at most a telling off/warning if I was half an hour late for work.

I like to think the fan base follows the fan target if that makes sense.

I like Moyles because when I started listening to the radio I was listening to him on Capital, I then followed him to radio 1, in essence I grew up listening to him. Mother ballbag listens to Wogan, because she grew up doing that, my older brother ballbag likes Steve Wright, again he grew up in the 80's. And I've no doubt that there are hoards of 15-16 year olds, listening the Mills, who'll still be listening to him in 10 years time whilst some other up and coming DJ takes over the "young-uns".
Perhaps I'm just wrong and maybe it's just me, but to me I don't think I'll ever get bored of listening to Moyles, even if he does turn crap I'll still be tuning in 20 years down the line when the little ballbags are calling him an old fuddy-duddy and taking the mick out of me for listening to him on Radio2............... perhaps it's just habit.

Anyway, this isn't the "discuss the breeding patterns of the Ballbags" forum....... there's another web-site for that.

Once I went swimming in the Sea in South Devon, as I walked into the Sea I noticed that my feet were cold, so I quickly came out and dried them and put my socks back on, then my feet were no longer cold, the end.
