Today’s show was live from the world famous BBC Pebble Mill studios in Birmingham, where yesterday Chris recorded his brief appearance on Radio 4’s The Archers. This was organised as a well done present (for the audience figures) by Archers fan Will, who was with the team all morning today. The BBC daytime soap Doctors and most of Radio 2’s overnight output come from Pebble Mill. Top Gear and Countryfile are other BBC shows previously based there. Both Janice Long and Alex Lester broadcast throughout the night on R2 from Pebble Mill...and (to his delight) Chris and the team were in their studio this morning. Janice had written a reply to a note Chris left in the studio last night, and she also popped in (during a record) to say hello this morning. Alex Lester finished his show at 6 and also met Chris and Dave, who both agreed that he looks nothing like he does in his photos (see here). Juliette (who was back in London with Dom) told Chris that she used to answer Alex’s phones when she worked at Radio 2. She said that he gave her voice training, cue the sexual innuendo from Chris. Jules’s time at R2 came flooding back to her as Chris played out a wide range of Radio 2 jingles...that she proceeded to sing along to. For the ultra ultra geeky anorak types among you, the jingles Chris played were as follows: the news jingle, jazz funk female Vox, soul male Vox, the travel bed in and out, Alex Lester’s Brain Boggler, one Janice Long jingle (played twice at Dave’s insistence) and two other unnamed jingles that Jules was loving too. After the 9:30 news, Chris taught Dominic how to be a Radio 2 DJ and Dom then did a mini audition tape featuring details of a forthcoming pen giveaway, the horoscopes of the day and a guest coming in to tell the listeners how to press their flowers. Infotainment at it’s best. Bearing in mind his Radio 2 studio, Radio 1 Breakfast Show and now Radio 4 Archers appearance, Chris said he now just needs to get on Radio 3 and 5 Live to complete the full national network set...and (more importantly) win a set of steak knives. He called the Archers recording one of the most surreal things he’s ever done. He sat through a full script rehearsal yesterday afternoon with the cast, then met them individually and then went onto the studio pub set to record his lines. They were incidentally, “er...Shires is it?” and “Right, pint then thanks”. A true thespian at work. Chris also left a little pause (theatre of the mind) for when he was checking out the pumps to see what they were serving. He said that “Checking out the pumps” is probably a lyric on the new Streets album. I won’t be buying it to find out, that’s for sure. Chris played out the audio of his little Archers cameo, which received a warm reception in the studio. The barman he was chatting to in the clip sounded a bit like Parky, but Dave was more interested in the whining background twang at the start of the clip - he said it was definitely Rach’s irritating Kiddyminster cackle. After listening back I think it sounds more like a dog barking myself...*insert your own gag here*. Rach, Dave, Aled and Will did record background pub atmos for the show, but unfortunately they weren’t allowed to say the word “rhubarb”. Aled interviewed Felicity Finch (who plays Ruth Archer) about Chris’s performance. She was very complimentary and Chris said she also gave him a few hugs too many when he left yesterday as well. He said you couldn’t deny there was chemistry there. The episode Chris appears in will go out on Radio 4 in five weeks time, I’ll have more details nearer the time.

ROUTE MASTER TRAVEL PLANNER - WILL KINDER:
Chris, Dave, Greyhead and Chris’s brother Kieran all left Radio 1 at 10:30 yesterday, to set off to Birmingham New Street via train from Euston. Will had it all planned out and they climbed onto the Virgin train at Platform 1 five minutes before it was due to set off (or so they thought) at 10:40. Just as they were settling down, a voice came over the tannoy saying “Welcome aboard the 10:40 to Lancaster”. That’s right, the pillocks had only gone and got on the wrong bloody train. Dave blamed Will and called him “Route Master Travel Planner”, although Will was accepting no responsibility and instead accused Dave of reading the train platform number wrongly. Dave said granted, it could have been 11 not 1. Anyway, off they clambered at Rugby and they had to wait around an hour before the next (delayed) train to Birmingham arrived. When it did they got on, only then to find that due to technical difficulties, the train would be stopping at Birmingham International. Cue another delay and switch of train, before they finally arrived at their desired destination at 2:15 (a total journey time of 3 and three quarter hours). Rachel and Aled left Radio 1 at 12:30, but arrived just twenty minutes later than “Will’s crew” at 2:35. According to Chris, Kinder got bored almost as soon as they had got on each train. On one of them he was simultaneously listening to Chris’s iPod, wearing Chris’s designer glasses and playing a puzzle on Chris’s phone.
Chris - I felt like I was entertaining the kids on a long journey to the seaside
What made this particular link great (it was just after the 8:00 news) was that Dave’s stomach twice interrupted proceedings with two loud, rumbling belches that caused much hilarity in both studios - Birmingham and London. The second time around was as Dom described it, “a beautiful radio moment” - radio gold.
Dom (laughing) - Juliette needs oxygen at this point by the way
(everyone laughs as Juliette’s fit of laughter continues)
Dave offered his sincerest apologies but his excuse was that he’d just had his breakfast, so his stomach was simply saying hello to all the listeners too. He said that it was was just writing cheques that his body couldn’t cash.
(Day producer Will, who was well and truly bladdered last night)
Man of the moment Will had been to collect this aforementioned breakfast from McDonalds, although Kate had driven. Dave said it was a good job as Will was way over the limit. He didn’t disagree. Rach told Will that his breath stank of booze and Dave also said that Greyhead had those oh so recognisable beads of alcohol sweat running down his face. Will said he’d just simply had a good night out with the breakfast team, his first night out at an OB with them. Dave was left to explain the terminology. MC will do the same, OB = Outside Broadcast. Some random Scottish man was part of the team’s little drinking party last night. He even managed to spill Jagermeister all down Chris’s brother’s crotch. Will admitted that he too had spilt a cup of coffee all over his jacket this morning. Chris said hello to a girl called Rachel who he met in the bar at the posh Malmaison hotel last night. She had given him a note asking him to say hello and play Californication by the Chilis before 8am. The time when Chris took this from his pocket and read it out - 8:35...back of the net. Chris said he was happy to hang around Birmingham today as he was in no rush to get home. Rachel suggested that they drove the half hour journey over to Kiddy for a visit, where her mum and dad themselves had driven from last night to have a meal with her. They met Chris, who said that they were very posh (her dad was wearing a cravate - instant giveaway). Chris revealed that he is in no rush to get home cos his freezer has defrosted and he’s hoping that his cleaner will sort it out for him while he’s away. Dave said his cleaner is coming around today as well actually...
Rach - Get you two and your fancy cleaners
Chris - Hey, me and Dave are young cool radio mavericks Rach
Dave - We don’t have time for Windowlene and stuff like that. We’re too busy spinning discs
(Rachel laughs loudly)
ALED IS REAR OF THE YEAR 2004:
Now if you’ve come here via the main page you will no doubt know the news that Aled (along with Alex Best) has become “Rear Of The Year” for 2004. You can read the full story on Ananova here and I’m sure more will be added on Radio 1 ONLINE soon (Edit: Here we go). However, back this morning he hadn’t been confirmed as a winner and said that he was just leaving early for a Rear Of The Year photoshoot, not presentation. There was of course the obvious line that Chris had to use - “I’ve always said he’s the biggest arse at Radio 1”. No doubt there will be more reaction from Chris and Dave tomorrow morning, so check back here for the review tomorrow night. The design of the Pebble Mills studio was such that when Aled came in for this morning’s Buzz Off link at 7:20, Chris had his back to him....which he found slightly worrying. Aled also committed the cardinal sin of attempting to buzz off the classic that is Going Underground by The Jam, and what made it worse was that it was after just 22 seconds. Thankfully the full 2 mins 48 were played as no-one else buzzed in (Going Underground was a number one back in March 1980 when Aled was just 3 years old). Also today, there was a Soccer Six update live on the phone with Chappers. Chris’s first targets for his Radio 1 team are David Seaman, Gazza, Zinedine Zidane, Pele, Ian Wright, Vinnie Jones and Mark Hughes. The more realistic options however look to be Harvey So Solid (who plays semi-pro for Wimbledon AFC) and Ralf Little, who in the past has had trials with Hartlepool and his home town team Bury (who incidentally are great...not that I’m biased or owt). The Gos from BB barbecue offer still stands and I say stick him in goal cos no-ones gonna have any chance of scoring then. Mark pointed out that Dave yesterday referred to his coaching role as “like David Pleat’s at Spurs”. Pleat has resigned/been sacked overnight so Chappers was interested in what Dave had to say now. Not much really - he wasn’t quitting though to Chris’s great disappointment. For the second day running Chris screwed up his Tedious Link timings, meaning that we only got to hear a minute of Feel Good Time by Pink & William Orbit. Not really a bad thing as it turns out but if the records get any better than that and yesterday’s from The Darkness, then it might start to become very annoying.
ANOTHER GREAT MOMENT FROM TODAY’S SHOW:>>> @ 8:12 when Chris loaded Dave up with echo (yep, he’d found that button) and asked him to shout “Let’s Roccccckkkkk!!!”. Dave strained as he shouted and Will was in stitches off mic as Chris played in the slow intro to Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
Dave - How do you like them apples? (Will laughs)
Chris - Thank you very much music scheduling team, let’s get that 8 o’clock hour off to a rocking start (Will laughs as Chris hits vocal)
NEW JINGLE:>>>>”We’re back from our short holiday so thank you to Scott Mills,
If you prefer his show to ours you need to take some pills,
We hope you heard our good news, and that you understa-and
We just increased our audience, six hundred and eighty thous-and,
The Chris Moyles Show, now with more listeners, National Radio One”
