Everton got beat by Middlesbrough on penalties in The Carling Cup last night and that had put Dave in a bad mood at the start of today’s show. He did however say he is confident that the toffees poor run is ‘just a temporary blip’. Chris said commiserations to Everton, Man City and Liverpool after last nights results and congratulated Bolton, Middlesbrough and Spurs. He saved his biggest compliments for West Brom (who beat Man United 2-0) and asked Aled if he knew what ‘boing boing baggies baggies’ meant. I think you can guess what Aled's reply was. Today was of course the penultimate afternoon show and to celebrate the fact Chris said there was a ‘guest-fest’ on the show....but if you’re expecting A List ones then you’ll be disappointed. There was no call from Ozzy Osbournes people about the chance of a phoner with him and surprisingly there was also no Culshaw around to pretend to be Ozzy. Rachel Stevens was on after 4 and Chris had obviously opened up his Z-List celebrity phone book aswell, as Jill Halfpenny who plays Kate in EastEnders was on after half 4. Chris said the other day that he thought she was fit and this was obviously a good enough reason in his eyes to book her as a guest.
Chris said that he was in early today at 9.20 and spent an hour making a ‘rap meets weather’ parody. He wouldn’t say what song it was but said he’d play it later. After an hour of making it you’d think he’d remember to play it but he didn’t. He said it was ‘a fusion of beats and heats’ and it’s musical genre was ‘meteorologically urban’. Chris also moaned about how bad TV’s Naughtiest Blunders with Steve Penk was last night on ITV. I presume he wasn’t expecting a bundle of laughs when he tuned in but apparently is was even more dire than normal (if indeed that is possible). A row broke out in the newsbeat studio before the 3:30 bulletin. Chris (being a nosy bugger) was listening in his headphones and heard Micky calling George a stroppy cow. After the news Chris decided to stir things up, despite the fact it had already been resolved and that they had already made friends. George got frustrated by the fact Chris went on about it for ages and Chris told them both to apologise and then he’d leave them alone. George went first and at that point Chris said ‘Micky, she was in the wrong and you were right, told you’ and played a record.
On The All New Top Of The Pops with Pat Cash tomorrow, there is going to be a play of both new videos by Victoria Beckham. There will then be a vote opened up for which should be her new single. The results will be announced on Sunday when Victoria pops in for a chat with Hi This Is Wes on the chart. Chris had a copy of both singles and in a vain attempt to fill a few links he did an unofficial straw text poll to see which song the listeners preferred. Both songs were surprisingly good and although Dave preferred the slower one called This Groove, the Kylie-esque Let Your Head Go won the text vote. The percentages were as follows if anyones arsed.
THIS GROOVE - 42.34%
LET YOUR HEAD GO - 57.66%
RACHEL STEVENS INTERVIEW
Rachel was in after 4 o’clock to promote her new single Funky Dory. Chris was more interested in flirting with her though and lets face it who wouldn’t be. Chris’s mate and Rachel’s other half Jeremy Edwards is now moving into theatre to play Azalan in a play called Dangerous Liaisons. He wants Chris to go and see him in it but Chris said he doesn’t like theatre. He enjoyed Beauty In The Beast when he saw it but thought Saturday Night Fever was ruuubish. Rachel was a bit of a theatre goer for such a young whippersnapper and recommended Bloods brothers and Musical Youth. Chris talked again about his hatred for musicals. Chris asked her what Sweet Dreams My LA Ex is about. I thought he was leading onto Comedy Daves theory that it’s about an LA airport but shockingly Rachel said it was actually about her ex boyfriend from LA. (Bob edit - That is complete balls though as it was written for Britney Spears as a comeback from Justins track Cry Me A River but she turned it down so Rachel got the left overs). Rachel brought up Chris’s favourite topic (him moving to breakfast). He told her that all the team will be getting up at 4.30 and getting in to work at half 5 each morning.
Rachel - Are you going to just literally go out at night and then go
straight in?
(Chris and Dave in unison - No)
Dave - Those days are gone
Rachel - Are you getting too old for that now?
Chris - yeah we could handle that when we were 21 and 22 but now we’re
23 so those days are behind us
Chris said he’s annoyed that S Club Juniors are now called S Club 8 and he thinks they are just riding off S Club 7’s success. Rachel said they were just handing over the S Club baton to them. Chris asked what would be next - ‘S Club toddlers, S Club pregnant people...S Club Ameobas’. Dave burst out laughing and said there was a fundamental biological problem with Chris’s argument - that ameobas don’t grow into babies. Chris’s point was that they are small and he did his kiddy voice singing Never had A Dream Come True by S Club. It got Rachel laughing anyway. Chris asked Rachel what she is doing at Christmas. She didn’t know but isn't going away as Jez is working.
Chris - I’ve got time off
Rachel - Shall we go away?
Chris - Do you wanna go away?
Rachel - yeah
Chris - I’ve got a lovely little place in Spain
Dave - Oh Jez would love that wouldn’t he?
Chris - He’d be working. I’m a mate, I’d just be looking after her...
Rachel - We could all go
Chris (quickly) - No just you and me
Rachel (laughing) - ok
Chris - that’d be nice
Chris talked to Garido about the latest Leeds news and there was a story about Alan Smith uncertain about his future, which made Chris start to do an impression of Alan. He kept it up for about 3 minutes. Chris said that it was his mission to get all the footballers to listen to his show in the morning or they get dropped from the show. Chris after 4:30 had the lovely in lingerie and actress Jill Halfpenny, currently in Eastenders but was a nurse in Corrie who had an affair with Martin Platt and was in Byker Grove. I wasnt into Byker as there was too many Geordies in it and I find their accents grate on me after a while. Its strange that Chris girlfriends' are always blonde but the majority of guests he fawns over are brunettes. Chris said she was pretty in real life. Chris put on all his charm on her and talked in a Geordie accent. Chris said that she should be able to ad-lib. She has been in it a year now. She got the job by audition. She thought that a Northerner just having left Corrie wouldnt have a chance. She said that she could talk *. Chris asked what it was like to tongue Steve McFadden and she said that she didnt do tongues. She has a fella which disappointed Chris. She said he was also an actor and met him when they were in the same play.
Jill - Nah dont do tongues, imagine that! No.
Chris - I cant imagine either.
Jill - What, you cant imagine kissing anyone with tongues?
Chris - No, well I can but not Steve McFadden, hes not my type. Im sure hes a lovely bloke.
Jill - No there would be a lot of friction with yer beards.
Chris - We'd get stuck, we could start fires... Youre not married, are you?
Jill - No im not.
Chris - Have you a man? (thats like asking the Queen if she has a crown!)
Jill - Oh yes.
Chris - Oh what a shame, anyway thanks for coming in, Merry Xmas. So does he kiss women in what he does?
Jill - Yeah and its a really strange thing.
Chris - I wouldnt like that.
Jill - Its very odd and you do get a little jealous.
Chris - And I bet he says Its only acting love.
Jill - Yeah, cos you laugh at yourself and then you have to say It is only acting but its a very strange thing and its something that not a lot of people would experience.
Chris points to the soundproof glass - Is that him there?
Jill goes Yeaaahhh
Chris - Is that him?
Jill - Yes thats him.
Chris - Oh you could do so much better, look at him, looks like hes just been let out of prison. Look at the state of that. Your kidding me. going out with that!
Jill - I like the rough and ready.
Chris - He must be loaded... but youve been in bed on telly?
Jill - Yes.
Chris - With another man, has he been in bed with another woman?
Jill - On stage yeah.
Chris - Man, you mucky couple.
Dave - You must sit there watching the telly and you must be kind of thinking the other ones enjoying it a bit too much. Do you know what I mean? I know that they are acting but you kind of think they are getting into the part a bit too much.
Chris - But your fella, how long have you been with him for?
Jill - Just over a year.
Chris - Good actor? Scale from 1 to 10.
Jill - Great actor. 10.
Chris - Seriously... right so hes doing a love scene and youve just said that hes a good actor. Do you not sit there and go He's enjoying that but then you just said hes acting.
Jill - Well of course thats, that is why you get jealous.
Chris - Helping you out here son, helping you out.
Jill - That is why cos if I was watching him kiss somebody and it didnt look like he was enjoying it then I wouldnt be bothered but the fact is when your watching someone youre thinking God, they look like theyre really getting into it. Thats what makes you jealous.
Chris - Would you like him to kiss a man?
Jill - Yeah Id quite like that.
Dave - (surprised) Would ya?
Chris - Hes not looking keen.
Chris - (shouts over to fella) Would you like to see Jill kiss a woman?... He said yes.
Dave - Thats different though.
Chris - Its equal rights.
Dave - Would you act together?
Jill - Thats where we met.
Chris - Panto?
Jill - Nooo, in a play, 1984 (you know whats coming, dont you)
Dave - What, George Orwell?
Chris - Oh I was about to say you had been going out for a year and youve known him since 1984.
Jill - Youre so uncultured Chris!
Chris - You would have been 9.
Jill - Nowt wrong with that.
Chris - You are a skilled fencer.
Jill - Yeah I did fencing at drama school (pity she didnt stab a few of them while she was there). Its on me CV and for some reason people pick up on it all the time but I just did it there.
Chris - Because its a weird thing.
Jill - It is a weird thing.
Chris - Theres only you and Bruce Dickinson that still fence.
Jill - Well I dont fence now but I loved it.
Chris found a signed photo on ebay from Jill Halfpenny and the current top bidder has bid £3.50. Chris asked about flaws in the plot of Eastenders and the usual things like theres a car lot and nobody can drive. She said that she went out with Ant for a whole two weeks when she was 15 or 16. She was on the titles and they had to jump on a mini trampoline. She is staying in the soap for a while.
Martin from Cheshire won the Churchill Nodding Dog to sit along with his 5 Finding Nemo toys on the back of his window of his Peugeot 106. The See Ya Jimmy hat was won by Steve in Exeter. The Jim Royle mobile phone holder was given away to Melvin.
