Chris was feeling perky and up for the show this morning after his regular five hours sleep last night. It’s not his lack of sleep that’s worrying him at the moment though - it’s the irritating alarm on his phone that he uses to wake him up each morning. He played it on the air and said he really needs to change it, but had no idea what to. He ran through a load of possible options on his phone that didn’t really work, including the ringtone to I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness. Dave said the combination he was really after was “effective but inoffensive”. Chris decided to ask Rachel to record a couple of messages on his phone for him, one telling him to get out of bed “now.....now!” and another telling him to shut up and play a record. Chris said someone must remind him to change that, otherwise tomorrow he’ll be waking up to the sound of Rachel (goood mornin) and jumping out of bed at half 4 saying “Ok, it’s time for Buzz Off” or “Here’s the Sugababes”. Dave doesn’t usually employ Chris’s method of getting back into bed for a quick snooze once he’s woken up as he finds it very dangerous. However today he couldn’t help himself and as a result, he didn’t wake up again till quarter past five - the latest he’s ever got up for the breakfast show. Chris said that when he had arrived for work this morning he had listened to the voicemail messages left yesterday on Dave’s desk phone, regarding Reverse-a-Word (he obviously hadn’t - he was just setting up the feature). Dave called it a gross invasion of privacy but Chris didn’t care and played out more celebrity messages turning down the job as host of Dave’s sparkling new Challenge TV quiz. Gail Porter/Hipgrave was first up, saying she’d just stubbed her toe the other day and said the idea of the quiz was pretty feeble anyway. Second was that well established TV presenter Will Young (I’m guessing not many of Chris’s TV friends were willing to record these messages then). Will said he didn’t think the idea was any any good but told Dave to call him if he wanted to go for “that Chinese”. This prompted some questions from Chris but Dave said that Will simply wanted to discuss the format further. The final two voicemails on Dave’s phone both came from TV star Scott Mills (well UK Play, TOTP and Planet Pop) and unsurprisingly he said he would be interested and available to present Reverse-a-Word at any time. He told Dave to ring him back but seemed a bit impatient and called again. Texts came in this morning saying The Chris Moyles truck is now back on the road. Spottings from the past seven days include Newcastle, Coventry, Ayr, the A1, the M1, Stafford, Barnsley, Cuba and Guadalajara (although Chris for some reason wasn’t too sure whether the last two were true).
Chris wasn’t talking to Aled at all this morning, saying that Jones had been very horrible to him in the early morning show meeting. It wasn’t until just before Carpark Catchphrase that they finally made up (Aled apologised), so beforehand everything they spoke about went through Comedic Dave, who was acting as mediator. Dave urged them to make love, not war. Tonight in London’s Leicester Square it’s the UK Premiere of the big Starsky and Hutch movie. Following on from his antics at The Last Samurai premiere recently, Aled will be resuming his role as red carpet reporter tonight. Chris was invited tonight but he’s meant to be going to see Jon Culshaw being interviewed by Parky, although he’s not even sure he can be arsed to go to that now either. Aled said he was hoping to go for the traditional questions to the stars tonight, such as “What’s your favourite cheese?” - but he had been warned to keep specific to the film. The only problem was that Aled won’t be seeing the film and has never seen the original 1970’s televisual series either. Chris said his mate Beverley will lend him a DVD of it so that he can do his research this afternoon, then tonight he’ll be off to the premiere in his New York gear. No doubt all the interview clips and gossip from Aled’s big night out will be on tomorrow morning’s show after 8 o’clock.
DENTISTS, DONNIE DARKO AND DAVE’S 3 BOOKS:>>>
Chris was very nervous when he arrived for his rearranged dentist appointment on Tuesday afternoon, as he hadn’t been for a good few years and was worried that he might have needed his wisdom teeth out. Fortunately he doesn’t need them removing, although he does need a few fillings (which he is not looking forward to) at his next visit in a couple of weeks. He has also been booked into the hygienist but cancelled, as he said he doesn’t need to be paying 35 quid at his age for some woman to tell him how to brush his teeth. Dave asked if he had the same lady as he does, who listens to The Mission and Sisters Of Mercy CD’s while carrying out her dental treatment (he called her a retro goth dentist with a drill). Chris said no it was even worse, they had Scott Mills on Radio 1 on in the background when he was there (double pain). After visiting the dentists Chris decided to go for a big shop as he had no food in - and he also bought a few DVD’s as well. One of them was Donnie Darko for £4.99 (£13 cheaper than the other version with the extras on) as he had heard it’s a great film. After watching the first half of the Arsenal - Celta Vigo match last night, Chris and Sophie settled down to watch it. Chris said (for some bizarre reason) that when he buys a DVD he always has to watch it within 24 hours. The film is about time travel and Chris said he wishes he could have gone back in time and not wasted his 5 quid on it as it was ruuuuubish (totally untrue). Chris said even Drew Barrymore looks ropey in it (even though he finds her a major POA - piece of ass not “price of application” as suggested by Dave). Chris set up a text vote on 81199 to see whether the listeners agreed with his verdict or if they thought it was great. Just under 6000 texts came in and 70% of them said it was great. It is - it's an awesome, awesome, awesome movie. Chris said he just didn’t get it. Earlier, Chris picked Head Over Heels by Tears For Fears (from the Donnie Darko soundtrack) as today’s Buzz Off choice. It’s the second Tears For Fears Buzz Off so far this year and it lasted in total for just over 3 minutes. Aled was first to buzz on 32 secs (much to Chris’s annoyance), Rachel followed on 1:21, the listeners were next on 2:35 and Comedy Dave buzzed it off finally on 3 minutes 04 seconds. Dave said the stereo drums in it always remind him of Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Phil Bailey. Chris said he’s only 24 so had no idea what he was talking about. His mate Rossy from Radio Aire (referred to on the show as Francis for obvious reasons) texted him to correctly identify the year as 1985.
Referring to Donnie Darko again, Dave said in some ways he thought he should see it so he could have an opinion on it, although to be honest he couldn’t be arsed. He said he’s never seen the point of buying a film as once you’ve seen it, you don’t particularly want to watch it again. He said it’s the same for books (both wrong of course). Dave said he finds reading very boring though and Chris told him to tell Juliette, Dom and Rachel how many books he has read in his entire life. The answer appallingly is three. One was a book by ex Newsbeater and Evening Session insertist Danny O’Connor on the Stereophonics. The other two were The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole and the follow up The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole. Dave said it was probably four books technically speaking, as he did read a book all about the history of Everton’s different players in Madeira a few years ago. What’s most shocking of all though is that Dave said he studied English Literature at A-Level and somehow managed to fluke a C.
RADIO 1’S DIGITAL WEEK:>>>(For full details see Mon 8th March Review below or visit here)
Playing for a Freeview set top box today was an excitable Tanya from London, who’s currently studying French at Leeds Uni. It doesn’t need me to tell you that the word “french” on The Chris Moyles Show means only one thing. Chris asking “Qu'est qu'il y a dans le panier?” (What’s in the basket?). Dave tried to join in but Chris told him to shut up, despite Mr Vitty’s claims that he too could speak the language of love. Tanya seemed very shocked by the fact Chris knew where she was (Headingley) and where she drunk (The Original Oak & Mojo). Chris said that kind of coincidence probably meant that they should sleep together. Tanya wasn’t so sure. She is single though and Chris asked her what her best feature was. Forget all that “kids in the car on their way to school” malarkey, she immediately replied...her huge breasts. This meant that she had won whether she got her question right or not, although Chris said there is a new BBC policy saying all Digital week winners have to send in pics of themselves in bikinis before their prize can be sent off (Rache wasn’t happy with all the blokey stuff creeping into this link). Tania correctly identified option B as the right answer to her question, which said that Chris sent 20-30 texts on his phone yesterday. She won the Freeview box and is now through to next Monday’s big breakfast Digital Week final where she could be winning Radio 1’s “Digital Life” (see last Monday’s review for more). Just before she went, Dave reminded her “Don’t forget the photos!”.
A VERY FUNNY EDITION OF CARPARK CATCHPHRASE:
JOEL a Ladbrokes District Supervisor from Great Bentley in Essex 2
SARAH a 20 year old sales rep for Nestlé (note the é) in Hastings 1
***Both contestants were good value today. Sarah called Chris a liar and said he gave Joel the answers, resulting in a fake school playground-like argument between the two of them (with Chris putting on a funny southern accent). Sarah sounded really nice but more importantly...fit. Joel asked Chris if he could get any pictures of her in her bikini as well. Joel said he really shouldn’t be saying that as he only got married 8 months ago. Dave and Emma have been <s>happily</s> married for 7 (god - meaning that’s 7 months I’ve been reviewing on the site now) and Dave agreed with Joel when he said that the only thing that changes after you get married is that you get less sex.***
Daves Tedious Link
The Prodigy Breathe - If you remove the last letter of the word “breathe” you get breath, which is something you can see on a cold day - Other things commonly seen on cold days include gloves, gritting lorries and ice skaters on frozen ponds - Frozen ponds can be hazardous and should only be skated on if you know the ice is reassuringly thick - Thick is a word often associated with bread - “Bread of heaven, feed me now and ever more” - “Ever More” shares the same phonetic word ending as both Roger Moore and Karrimor, who make rucksacks - Rucksacks are commonly worn by ramblers - Ramblers walk over hill, field and dale and by and large respect the public footpaths, highways and byways of The United Kingdom - The United Kingdom actually includes Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, two of which are in the same qualifying group as England for the 2006 World Cup which takes place in Germany - Germany used to be made up of two countries called West Germany and East Germany, which were separated by a large wall that was very big but not as big as The Great Wall Of China, which is one of the only man-made walls clearly visible from space - and Space the band had a Top 14 hit with Avenging Angels in 1997, the same year bizarrely that Natalie Imbruglia reached number 2 with her monstrous hit Torn - Which links us to Natalie Imbruglia and Torn
FLAWS - THE BERLIN WALL DEBATE:>>
Dave said that the texters were just being “fernickity” by saying that the Great Wall of China is not visible from space and that the East & West sides of Germany were not separated by one huge wall. This sparked a heated debate on the Berlin Wall, involving Chris, Dom, Dave and Rachel. Chris failed to recognise that the country was split length ways, and kept asking what happened to North and South Germany in all of this. Chris did a hypothetical analogy involving someone trying to cross the border to get to “ze offy” for some fags, with a diagram shown to the team to accompany his tale (not great for radio). Dave claimed it looked like a 7 year old’s pie chart. Dom said “Guten morgen” to all ze germans listening on ze internet and said that some crazy people might see Chris’s story as simplifying a massive part of history. Chris preferred to call it a nice overview but Rachel told anyone revising for their A-Level History not to put that version in.
- There was also an additional Tedious Link flaw not spotted by the team or any texters this morning. Avenging Angels by Space was actually a top 6 hit in January 1998 - it was their single Dark Clouds that reached number 14 back in 97.
