Yep, Rachel today became the latest member of the breakfast show team to hit 30, and she marked the occasion with a well deserved lie in and day off the show. In her absence, Will *Greyhead/Greyhound* Kinder returned as producer...and in typical fashion. The show was less than ten minutes old when Will managed to screw up the text messaging system, a result of him trying to fix a broken mouse. He said rather alarmingly that this was the first live radio show he’d produced in seven months. However, this didn’t mean that his concentration levels were any higher than usual. Infact, he was blatantly more interested in what time the breakfast was arriving than what was going on in the actual show. Greyhead said he’d been looking forward to his toasted egg and bacon sarnie with brown sauce all night. It was what he used to have each day when he produced Zoe Ball on breakfast. Despite the fact that she was absent, birthday presents were arriving in the studio for Rachel. Chris said seen as she was away it was only fair that the team open them for her...
Chris - Keep your presents coming in for Rachel. As I said she’s not here, but all presents will be gratefully accepted. I do believe that she’d like a brand new pair of really cool training shoes or Levi's by the way
Dave (butting in) - and she’s always wanted a snooker table as well
(Will and Jules laugh)
Chris said that seen as though Rache had this morning off from work, it would have made sense for her to go and get hammered last night and then nurse her hangover today. However, he received a text from her yesterday inviting him to her birthday drinks in the pub today - they start at 2pm. There was another new member of the team today alongside Greyhead today - news editor Toby Sealey. Chris said Toby looked shattered and like he smelt of sleep. This prompted a big studio discussion on what sleep actually smelt like. Dave said he never kisses Emma goodbye on the mouth when he leaves for work as she a) smells of sleep and b) hasn’t brushed her teeth. Dave called all the early morning texters sickos. This is because the majority of them said that they did kiss their partners goodbye on the mouth in the morning. Chris said he did it and had a tip for Dave - take a big breath before you go in there (so to speak). Chris did a very funny impression of this just before Buzz Off, which had Aled and Will laughing and a pig-squealing Dave in stitches (by the sounds of him anyway). Once Around The Block by Badly Drawn Boy was Chris’s choice for Buzz Off incidentally (it reached number 27 on re-release in November 2000). Will (despite being daytime producer of the show) had never heard of Buzz Off before and had to ask Chris how the item worked, managing to perfectly crash Badly Drawn Boy’s vocals in the process....classic Kinder. Dave was surprisingly first on the Buzz Off buzzer this morning, on 1 minute 25 (he claimed he was just showing Will what to do), Aled followed immediately on 1:30, Greyhead was third on 2:26 and the listeners were last but not least on 3:21. The show was actually really good today, a bit like the old days with Chris, Will and Dave all mucking about. A few texts came in saying similar things, although I must be honest and say that I have always had a bit of a soft spot for Rachel as producer. Nevertheless it was good to hear Will back on the air. Chris commented on how grey he was actually looking today...
Will - I’ve got grey chest hair now you know...
Chris - I really don’t wanna see that
Will - ...it hasn’t got any further south though which is good
Chris (quickly shouting) - OK!! Good morning, it’s 8.43...this is BBC Radio 1, I feel sick
Just before the last record today, Chris gave Rachel a quick call to see if she was listening to the show. She was and all the team shouted happy birthday to her. Chris cut her off straight away (Dave said less was more) as he wanted to fit in all of It’s My Life by No Doubt before the end of the show. You may remember that last Tuesday was Chris’s girlfriend Sophie’s birthday. On Saturday night the pair of them (and around 20 other family & friends) all went out...to play bingo. Chris said he won £20, but this wasn’t anything to celebrate compared to his mate Tim who picked up a whopping £150. You might think that going to the bingo proves how down to earth Chris and Sophie really are, until you find out that one of her birthday presents from Chris last week was....a Mini Cooper. Chris didn’t actually mention it as such today (he just said in the last minute of the show that “that story in the paper is true”) but Jo Whiley confirmed it in her first link after 10.
CHART RECAP WITH WES BUTTERSBY:>>>
An unusually floppy haired Wes was filling in for Nemone on Early Breakfast this morning and will be doing so all this week. Nemone is not away, she’s busy warming the 1-3pm slot for Colin & Edith, who begin there in a weeks time. Chris played the excellent Lord Of The Rings type trail for their new show and said that judging by that their new show had a lot to live up to. If that’s the case then Vernon Kay is at the other end of the scale cos the trails for his new show just try a bit too hard to be funny (they’ve made them in a local radio style - one is actually voiced by Will). With him doing earlies all week, Wes was in the studio after half seven for the big chart recap with Chris. Chris asked him to run him through his typical Sunday. Wes said he wakes up, has a bit of brekkie and a shower and gets in to work for 11am.
Chris - Really? You’re not on till 4!!
Wes - I know. I’m keen
Chris - Are you?
Dave - They’re supporting Travis
Chris - Congratulations on your recent hit single
Wes (laughing) - Thank you very much
Travis only went in at a disappointing number 28 with Love Will Come Through yesterday. Chris’s mum and dad and his mates Rob and Laura all went to see Travis play live in Doncaster on Saturday, and were actually hanging out backstage with them (VIP Vera and her barmy army). Chris said Fran dedicated Flowers In The Window to his mum when he performed it. Chris and Dave are hoping for similar dedications themselves when they go and see them live at The Hammersmith Apollo in London tonight. Dave said there would be a full gig report on the show tomorrow morning. Yeah by Usher and Ludacris is number 1 again this week. Wes counted down the top ten with Chris commenting on each track...
Wes - Cha-Cha Slide DJ Casper is at number 2..
Chris (interrupting in cheesy voice) - Is that Cha-Cha “Sliding” down the chart?
Wes - No, it’s a non-mover
Chris - Right, rubbish
(Will and Wes laugh as Dave calls Chris a smart arse)
REVERSE-A-WORD >>> IMPORTANT NEWS:
There was a big Reverse-a-word update on the show after 8:30 today, with important news about both the filming and the broadcast of Comedy Dave’s forthcoming seven minute Challenge TV pilot. The filming of the pilot will take place a week on Wednesday (Wednesday 7th April) and the show itself will go out on air the following Tuesday (the 13th of April). I’ll actually be overseas then so will miss it...I’m not sure whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing. The main problem so far in this negotiational process has been trying to book studio time with Scott Mills, who surprisingly has been a busy bunny. Chris said don’t forget he does have a lot of links to record for River Island FM in-store radio and a variety of different airlines. Chris said DVM (Dave Vitty Management) was working at it’s hardest to assure that any further problems were prevented. Dave corrected him and said it’s actually DVE doing that job (Dave Vitty Entertainment). He said DVM was actually a subsidiary of DVE, which is the “overall parent company”. Will exclusively revealed that there will be a small sectioned off area of the Reverse-a-word set that's purpose is to hold a studio audience of erm, 20. Listen to the show on Wednesday to stand a chance of being in the audience and listen tomorrow morning to be in with a chance of becoming one of the first (and most probably last) ever Reverse-a-word contestants.
One of the days main stories in Newsbeat this morning was the change of the law in Ireland that now makes it illegal for anyone to smoke in a public place. As a smoker, Chris said that he likes to have the choice whether to have a fag or not and in his opinion this new law takes away that option, which Chris said was wrong. At 8:25 the studio phone rang in a wacky Steve Wright in the afternoon stylee and on the line was an Irish fella called Mick O’Teen (nicotine - geddit) coughing and spluttering loudly. It was actually Chris on the line (obviously pre-recorded) and although well produced in the way Chris chatted to himself, the call wasn’t actually very funny. Just before today’s Tedious Link, Dave got an e-mail from a woman called Helen Trotter. She was asking if the show could start a campaign to get the big digital Lucozade clock on the M4 changed to the correct BST time...
Dave (talking to Chris) - Now obviously what has happened here is that they haven’t reset the clock, I’m assuming it’s probably like an hour out
Chris (gives Dave no acknowledgement and starts the record) - It’s 8:55, we’ll do Daves Tedious Link next on Radio One
Dave (laughing - followed by Chris and Will) - That worked well
(hits vocal on Jamelia and Thank You)
Chris (talks over song) - Well explain it if you want now, go on
Dave - No I’m not arsed now
(Will and Chris laugh)
Dave - It’s one of those features that seems largely dead in the water really..(cue loud laugh from Will)..such was the lack of pick up from you two. You just left me swimming there..
Kinder said he’s usually on the tube just after nine o’clock so normally misses the infamous half time link. Chris explained the local radio end of link “ding” effect to Greyhead and then began today’s half time..
Chris (just taking the mickey) - So Dave did you get any sex this weekend? (plays “ding”)
Dave - Thank you yes
Chris (slight pause) - Did you really?
Dave (realising his error) - Yeah but it’s none of your business. Why did I say that?
Chris (with Will laughing in the background) - I’ve no idea. You were away from your wife for most of the weekend as well
Dave said he wished he’d answered differently but seen as though he had got himself into this predicament he just clarified that it was indeed with Emma his wife and with nobody else. Today is D Day again for Chris - Dentist Day. He’s having two fillings “at 2:30” (tooth hurty gag - guh huh). Will did the Phil McCavity dentist gag as well. At this point Chris received a text from Rachel telling him to open the lines for Carpark Catchphrase.
RADIO 1 LIVE MUSIC ANNOUNCEMENT:>>> Chris announced details of the first One Big Weekend of 2004 at 8:15 this morning. It takes place in Londonderry in Northern Ireland over the weekend of the 24th and 25th of April. It’s very much the same as last year - 8 live DJ’s will play on the Saturday and 7 live bands will play on the Sunday. Spoony, Vernon Kay, Scott Mills, Judge Jules and Seb Fontaine will all do their weekend shows live from Derry, with Chris’s show on the road either side of the weekend...allowing for maximum drinking time. On Friday April 23rd the breakfast show will be live from Belfast and on the following Monday morning (the 26th) the show will come live from Londonderry itself. One of these shows will be Dave’s birthday show incidentally. The actual OBW line ups themselves will be announced on Friday morning at 8:15, with both Chris and Will taking maximum precautions to make sure Dave doesn’t give away anything - or indeed the whole of Radio 1’s Summer Schedule as he did last year. Radio 1 is warming up for One Big Weekend by playing live tracks from last years shows all week long. This mornings were I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness and Just Like A Pill by Pink, both taken from the Sunday of last September’s One Big Weekend in Cardiff. Chris remembers it well cos he’d just got back off holiday from the States and Dave and Emma had just got back off their honeymoon in the Far East. Chris said he was meant to catch a train to Cardiff but foolishly went out for a few drinks with the newlyweds first. He said he got plastered and later that night was found on the corridor of his Cardiff hotel in just his boxer shorts. Dave said he felt partially responsible for Chris’s state of inebriation that day. Full details on One Big Weekend in Londonderry - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/events/obw2004.shtml
