A Bit Extra Moyles?

Recommended Posts

Just listened to the Podcast for Moyles this week - at the end they mention about a special announcement next week saying that if we like the show we are going to get a little bit extra! They cant be extending it even more, so it must be an exclusive digital/online show maybe? Anyone got any ideas?

Also, if they are launching something new it kind of squashes speculation that he could be leavin gin 6 months or so!

Full press release:

He's already climbed Kilimanjaro, but now BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles is set to mount a new challenge – but this time it's to stay awake for more than 37 hours, as he attempts to break the record for the station's longest show in history, all in aid of Red Nose Day*.

The record which currently stands at 37 hours was set by Simon Mayo for Comic Relief in 1999, and from 6.30am on Wednesday 16 March, Chris, accompanied by his sidekick Comedy Dave, will attempt to smash the record – with support and encouragement from fellow Radio 1 DJs and celebrity guests along the way as they get more and more tired.

Throughout the record-breaking attempt the duo have to present each show in the schedule with the regular DJ as a guest, so Chris and Dave will be broadcasting with the likes of Fearne Cotton and Scott Mills through to the late night specialist DJs including Nick Grimshaw and Benji B which will be a completely new experience for them both!

Chris and Dave are aiming to break Simon Mayo's record at 7.30pm on Thursday 17 March.

The record attempt will also be broadcast live in-vision on digital TV via the Red Button and online at bbc.co.uk/radio 1.

Each hour that Chris and Dave are on air they will be entitled to a five-minute break which they can either take each hour or save up to earn a longer sleep later on.

Chris Moyles says: "In 2009 I broke the record for being the longest-serving Breakfast DJ on Radio 1, so I thought, why not go for broadcasting the longest radio show on Radio 1 too! Of course I'm worried about what the lack of sleep will do to me, but the pain will be worth it if we can raise a fortune for Comic Relief."

Comedy Dave adds: "I'd love to say I'm really excited about it, but every time we talk about the project I feel tired and start yawning!!"

Andy Parfitt, Controller, BBC Radio 1, says: "Last week Radio 1 listeners raised over £500,000 for Red Nose Day – once again our listeners have been amazingly generous. Time and time again they surpass our expectations and I know they'll get behind Chris and Dave as they embark on this amazing challenge."

BBC Radio 1 is available on FM, digital TV and online at bbc.co.uk/radio1.

All the shows will technically be Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave as the hosts. Chris will be driving the desk, and the other presenters will be the guests/sidekicks through their normal slots, getting as close to normal features as possible.

Chris and Dave need to speak in each link (when they're not in a break).

I'll say something..... I think it's actually quite ridiculous..... and if the team insist in rattling on about it for the days to come, the listeners CERTAINLY won't have difficultly in staying awake.

I texted R1 this morning to have a whine about it. *

* at least cash will be going to Red Nose Day however...

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.  
    • I heard something about what is your favourite wood? Wtf 😂
    • Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable. 
    • Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.
    • Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.
    • I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air 
    • I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.
    • I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
    • He's in bed sick today so not sure it will happen this weekend. 
    • Don't think it's the most amazing line-up. They seemed to really be pushing people to buy tickets on release day.
