Hello there! The lord is back for Thursday’s show, and Chopper has been put back in to his place…
Why Scott was off
Contrary to what the rumours say, the wine wasn’t on at the Madonna gig, and he was very sensible. He hadn’t been bumped off by Chappers or had any curse put on him. No, that’s not the reason. The real reason?
Scott: “I’ll tell you why… the world was falling out of his arse, that’s why!”
Chappers: “Ewwww… thanks very much. You do look about two stone lighter
Another day of awful photographs from Chappers; but we’re liking his radio work…
Chappers takes over
Callers quite liked Chopper’s work yesterday; he was pretty damn good wasn’t he? Amy called in to say that she enjoyed the old stuff he was playing, and found the banter in between quite amusing.
Celebrity Mastermind
Tomorrow Scott has to sit through a recording of Celebrity Mastermind. Chappers thinks Scott should do it on a commode, because he thinks otherwise his attempts will be scuppered.
Elsewhere today rumours were kicking around that the Pussycat Dolls are hoping to add a new member, expanding from six to seven. And how will they be doing this? In a reality TV show. Scott thinks it has Laura’s new name all over it. She has the vocal talent, but Chappers and Scott aren’t sure she has the looks for it though. One caller, amusingly called Pat, thinks Laura is much better than the Pussycat Dolls. She’s much more ‘real’ apparently. What do you think? Tell us on our forum. I personally think it’s a role that Chappers could fit in to rather well.
Did you know that Radio 1 and Scott’s show are currently celebrating lots of new listeners over the last few months? We broke the news this morning that over half a million listeners have switched on to the show compared to this time 3 months ago. One listener has to listen to Radio 1 as she’s moved to the top of a hill and can’t get any other radio station. I guess we can’t please them all… More facts and figures are on our news pages.
Finding Chappers’ replacement
On Tuesday Scott was advertising for a future replacement for Chappers. Today we heard more of what the applicants had to say, when they called the number left in an advert in national newspapers. One guy told three hilarious jokes, which were the most common jokes you could find around. Embarrassingly I found them rather amusing. And to show Scott’s not sexist, we had a female on, who really did sound like she was just reading from a bit of paper.
Another day of the Six Weeks of Summer competition to win a weekend with Moyles. All you had to do was answer the Top 5 Radio 1 DJs Chris would like to see in a bikini. The girl entering the competition this afternoon thought Scott would be on the list, whilst the actual winner of the day thought Emma B was still a Radio 1 DJ. Chris’ answers? Fearne, Coxy, Annie Mac, Jo Whiley… and Annie Nightingale. Think about it.
Remember Koala Beach? Matt on the e-mail does, he’s got two tapes of it. Scott wants to hear from you if you remember the mid-90s soap. Lozza was on; she’s from Australia and recalls the show being set in Queensland and starring a character called Dax. It was quite low budget but it was so bad that people had to remember it remember it, despite it only running for two years.
The swirl in Derek’s eye was the giveaway that the guy wasn’t completely normal…
The baby mind-reader
After six o’clock we heard more from Five’s budget baby mind-reading programme. Derek, the baby mind-reader, thinks he knows what a baby wants – not crisps or drinks – he wants grapes. He realised he was a medium at the age of nine, but only a few years ago he opened up to the spiritual world when a little girl showed him a picture of a jaffa cakes, which meant she wanted jaffa cakes, and from there he figured out her dad was a taxi driver. He tries to help children with major problems and often comes across some very graphic mind readings. The child often tells Derek the alarm code or the pin code to their bank as they can remember the movements of their fingers. Scott explained about the story of Joel off of JK and Joel and his cat. The cat is torn between two families – in a Romeo and Juliet style – should it live with Joel or his ex? Derek says he can read animal’s minds, but doesn’t like to focus on animals much.
Not a bad show today, although I didn’t feel the mind reader guy really added much to the show, and so it let down the third hour. Join us from 4pm tomorrow afternoon on the forum, and it’s only bley friday.
