[h=3]SPRINGWATCH host Chris Packham has laid into Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, calling him "ignorant", "odious" and "mediocre".[/h] In the new series of BBC1's Room 101, he says that anyone who heard Moyles's 52-hour charity broadcast last March — which raised £2.4million for Comic Relief — would have "died in their rooms".

Chris, 50, says on the show, to be screened on February 3: "It's the odious Chris Moyles — just saying his name I have probably developed a rash."

He adds: "One badly damaged marmoset typing on a speak-and-spell machine would produce his average show."

Well its been a while since they've had a go at him, more often than not they don't even need a reason they'll just twist something to make it sound like he's done something when he hasn't. I'm not gonna bother reading the story but it seems like a classic case of someone who doesn't get it when they listen to his show, or someone who simply believes his "reputation".

Tell me, how long into the story do they refer to him as "motormouth" or his (frankly now average) size?

Unfortunately he's a very easy target and the public have a bad, and frankly false I believe, opinion of him and what he is like.

He's one of these people who people just decide to dislike and jump on the bandwagon about, I remember having a conversation with my Mum when the marathon show was on and she said something about not liking him and I found this a bit odd as she nothing she watches on tv he is likely to appear on and she doesn't listen to any radio unless its on in Dad's car. I can only put her dislike of him down to what she hears and what the public's perception of him largely is and no doubt this is the same with many others who may never have even heard his show but have decided to go along with it regardless.

Ok he can be a bit ranty at times but then again who doesn't go off on 1 when something is wrong or someone is being a moron? I hardly think think that an arrogat, ignorant, motormouth with a ridiculously oversized ego would have done some of the things he has for charity now would they? Its not as if he needs the promotion, what with having one of the biggest radio shows in Britain is it?

Having watched the longer clip that somebody uploaded, I have to say I admire Frank Skinner for not putting him into room 101 and also for seeming to defend Chris when the audience, Packam and to a certain degree Tarrant seemed to be all on the anti-Moyles side of the fence.

      I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.
