ENTERTAINMENT: When Moyles Met the Radio 1 Breakfast DJs

Date: Sunday 9th May 2010

Time: 21:00 to 22:00 (1 hour long)

DJ Chris Moyles looks at how the Radio 1 Breakfast Show has reflected life in Britain over the past 40 years, as he meets his predecessors in the early morning slot. Former hosts Mike Read, Mike Smith, Simon Mayo, Steve Wright, Zoe Ball, and Sara Cox reveal the highs and lows of their reigns on Breakfast, and Tony Blackburn, who launched Radio 1 in 1967, explains why the Breakfast Show has always kept its finger on the pulse of the nation.

DOCUMENTARY: Blood on the Carpet

Date: Sunday 9th May 2010

Time: 22:00 to 22:40 (40 minutes long)

Walking with Disc Jockeys. Documentary series about corporate battles. When Matthew Bannister was appointed Controller of BBC Radio 1, his plans to make the station cool again began with the ousting of a number of long-serving DJs. But they would not go quietly, and millions of listeners were lost. Bannister thought he had found a saviour in new DJ Chris Evans, but when he also departed he left the managers with only each other to fight. (Stereo, Repeat, Widescreen, Subtitles)

one question, why ?

why isn't this on R1, yet another attempt to get R1 listeners to tune into R2, it didn't work with Chris Evans & this won't work either.

Who mentioned Radio 2?

i misread, i thought it was radio 2 not BBC 2 :*

anyway the one where Moyles meets is the one where Evans wouldn't meet him - git. it makes little difference if they get on, Evans should have acted like a man & done a interview after all he was a big part of the breakfast show, i hope for either, that Evans is completely missed out of it or that Evans was asked but said "no".

I agree entirely. He was such a famous R1 Breakfast Show presenter it's a shame he won't feature.

Will have to set the VCR. This looks tops! Could be almost as good as the ES'D 1967 programmes they did when R1 was 40. BTW does anyone have copies of them? I only managed to hear the Moyles one.

Only the moyles 1 with music edited out

But you can 'LISTEN' ;) to it here

WHEN MOYLES MET RADIO 1 BREAKFAST DJs: Sunday 9th May, BBC2, 9pm ALERT ME

In October of last year The Times published an article stating that Chris Moyles had lost Radio 1 “700,000 listeners” which had the bookies forecasting that he’d be gone by the new year. He isn’t and continues to present the coveted breakfast slot to this day.

Regardless of your opinion towards Moyles, this is a bad documentary. His opening gambit is a vapid analysis of what makes great radio: “There has to be some substance”. He then goes on to cite Michael Jackson’s death and the break-up of Jordan and Andre as “My stories…I can’t wait to hear what the others have to say”. The ‘others’ are former Radio 1 DJs (with the notable absence of Chris Evans who declined an interview) who are cajoled by Moyles into reminiscing, bleary eyed about their encounters with the rich and famous which I suspect is the “substance”. At one point Mike Read recounts an incident on a skiing holiday with Cliff Richard (shudder) that ended up with Read ‘n’ Richard playing guitar for Princess Diana while princes William & Harry sang into Mars Bars. Moyles, evidently gripped by this story, proclaims rather jealously: “I don’t have one story that nearly compares to that”.

Any opportunity to really investigate the radical changes that Radio 1 have undertaken in years past are constantly undermined by Moyles’ inability to interview without interrupting his subjects, some of whom look visibly peeved by his ‘style’. At one point Mike Smith – who only enjoyed a brief tenure at Radio 1 and now runs his own helicopter company – turns on his interviewer and states : “[DJs] are talking to themselves…I have to include you in this”. Moyles puts his hands up in surrender and then leaves the topic alone, sensing that Smith probably wants to put him in a dodgy chopper and get rid of him.

What we’re left with is a series of banal nostalgia trips from B-List celebrity DJs. Zoe Ball recalls her first meeting with Fatboy Slim: “Who walks up? Mr Cook…we went to loads of different clubs…I couldn’t speak the next morning”. Sara Cox can just about muster up the brain cells to remember the resulting furore surrounding her claims that “the Queen Mum stinks of wee”.

BBC2 are going to show this documentary which seems slightly bizarre considering that it made me never want to listen to Radio 1 again, so long as Moyles is at the helm anyway.
