Well I think this is brilliant. As a Moyles fan i'll try and listen to as much as I possibly can of this! This will be as tough as hell for them, even with the 5 min breaks. You cant really sleep in that time, so its probably wise to use it as a fag break! As someone who does regular nights, I can imagine how tough this will be. When I'm on nights, I'm often awake at about 6.30am that morning sorting Alfie for school, then Uni and studying all day often until 4pm. Then home to do family things before starting work at 20.30 through til 07.30. Then its probably a couple of hours after that before I get to sleep. So I'm often up about 30 hours. Going an extra 7 hours would be unimaginable for me, so I have no idea how they'll cope! And there really is little you can do in preperation for something like this!

I think this could be very very entertaining, their regular show through till the end of Scott's show shouldn't be too bad for them, but I think once the evening schedule kicks in they'll be feeling very bored. Shame I'll be having to sleep to get up for work the next day cos I think once tiredness sets in properly during the overnight shows thats when the hilarious nonsense will begin to kick in. Hopefully there will be a special podcast(s) with the highlights of it. Anyone know what the plan is for their show on the Friday, as I'd imagine they'd be in absolutely no fit state to get to work? I'm hoping for Vernon in with Dom and Tina, but I'm also wondering if we'll be having Scott on breakfast and Dev/Greg on drive.

Talking of Dev, I wonder if he'll bother coming in for his show if Chris and Dave are already gonna be in ;)

Didn't Simon Mayo do this?

yes he did, in 1999. i remember there being a big fuss about it at the time.

i know a lot of the people who haven't been listening to radio 1 very long will disagree. but it would be a nice touch to get simon mayo on the show, maybe giving chris a few tips.

on the grid.

Well, seeing as you mentioned it.....

Someone has just informed me that @chrisdjmoyles is to broadcast a 37 hour show for Comic Relief. This is some kind of sick joke surely?

28 Feb

Seems the silly old bitch fell for a bit of Toby Larone on Feb 5th as well actually. That brought a smile to my face.

Much as I like Moyles, I'm pretty glad I'll be in Spain whilst this is going on. Timsk is gonna be tearing his hair out, or will probably be tuning in elsewhere - he's not as much of a fan.

As others have mentioned above, I too have already become quite literally weary of this endeavour. I have been yawning and feeling like going back to bed every time they go on and on about it. Clearly this is the point - to make us suffer in the same way that they are going to - Sorry, but I don't need that sort of 'mind trickery' to force me to donate. If I want to, I will.

Still, I'd like to send lots of good luck though to Chris and Dave (and the listeners).

The Twitter hashtag for the event is #R1MoreMoyles, apparently, according to Aled. So use that when you're talking about it on Twitter :) Apparently there's going to be some kind of way that Chris and Dave will be able to see all the Facebook, Twitter and text messages in the studio.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
