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 !!

    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
    • I felt it was much better with the staging and everything.  I still cannot warm to his voice but he's a very good performer. Ireland was everything though.
    • Scott must feel somewhat vindicated to have won his award last night, after all the manure thrown at him by Steve Wright fans.
