Mr. Christopher Martin joined us on the show today...here's a video of him in action:

He was a genuinely nice guy and we shared some musical tips with one another.

Tomorrow on the show, we'll be exchanging Christmas presents with the team. It should be fun!

Hello listeners and fans of the blog

While and go shopping, I'm still in the office - so thought I'd send a little blog to say "Hello". This time of year is always a busy one on The Chris Moyles Show. Not only do we try and make sure that we go out with a bang for Christmas (this week we have Mark Ronson, The Ting Tings, Chris Martin and Father Quizmas), we're also finalising any shows we have coming up over the holiday period (this time a MAMMOTH 12 hour Chris Moyles Birthday Show - with 12 hours of the best bits of both 2008 and the first 5 years). We're also working on having a strong week back because we assume you'll miss us and you'll want to hear us at our best when we do come back.

So what have we got planned for the new year? Well it's no secret that Car Park Catchphrase is going (or "resting" as we say in the business) tomorrow we'll be revealing what will be replacing it. The cheesy song is going and is being replaced, as well as a new bolder fresher (and MUCH louder) theme tune to the show. You'll also see us differently when we come back (more details nearer the time!).

What won't change is the team. We're all coming back in the New Year (yes, even Matt Fincham)!

Back to this week, and I'm off to get some sleep as I've just heard that Rachel's not back tomorrow morning so I'm going to get some energy ready for when Chris Martin comes in during tomorrow's show.

Have a good day!

Hello from Plymouth!

I'm the advance party here, you may have heard this morning that I was here to give away tickets to tonight's Chris Moyles Show Carol-oke in Plymouth - above is a photo the crowd that had turned up before we got to stop people turning up - this was achieved in around 6 minutes so, safe to say it was a rather successful morning!

If you don't have tickets to tonight's event then I'm afraid you're going to miss out as it's going to be great :) but you CAN hear all the stories from tonight on the show tomorrow morning. I will still be out and about in the cold tomorrow, this time with Dom calenders!!! If you live in and around Plymouth I might see you tomorrow morning, if not... I might see you on Friday (for more info tune in to the show then).

After that it's back to London for this weekend's Surgery (Sunday from 10pm) - this week something that's close to my heart: Body Image. Do you look in the mirror and dislike what you see back? We'll be taking calls and discussing this in this week's Surgery on Radio 1.

Have a good day

p.s. if you're out and about my tip are thermals - I've relented and bought a thermal top - oh they're good!

The entire Chris Moyles team are off to Plymouth for our Christmas karaoke night! Well everyone except for Aled, because he's there already!

Make sure you listen from 6:30am to hear what happened.

Have a nice day now!

I'm going to be spending lots of time sleeping, eating and seeing friends and family and can't wait! (Oh it's only 8 days until I finish, obviously a little longer for actual Christmas day)

For fans of the Chris Moyles show, which I assume you are if you're reading this blog, the show will be off air until Monday 12th January. Don't worry though we're planning a huge 12 hour Chris Moyles extravaganza on New years day. That will feature all the biggest and best bits of the last 5 years. Aled has been working on this mammoth show and has pulled out some great highlights. Plus they'll be a few bonus podcasts so if you get an MP3 player for Christmas make sure you subscribe.

Before we finish on the 19th we've got loads of big things happening. We're off to Plymouth tomorrow for our Christmas karaoke night. Aled will be out and about tomorrow will be the man with the tickets.

Also next week we've got Mark Ronson on Monday, Ting Tings on Tuesday AND Chris Martin on Thursday. We're hoping to film some of this too.

You may have noticed this morning that today we have started using our christmas jingles.So that means its official - everyone can now get properly christmassed up!!
I think the world is definitely split into two - those who love christmas and those who don't. I love all the lights and decorations - my other half really doesn't. I can tell when we finally have a christmas at home there is going to be real rows and bother. I might have to come up with a cunning plan to get the house decorated while he's out and put them up with superglue!!

Tonight I'm thinking of making my special chilli con carne from the following recipe:

Mince beef

Chilli mix
Kidney beans

Anyway - very exciting tonight. It's Radio 1's Christmas Party. It may only be December 3rd but as far as i'm concerned it's pretty much christmas in my head!

Hi everyone, blimey it's been a busy one so far today. I absolutely loved the show today. We had our favourite guest of the year Mr Justin Lee Collins. I've never met someone with so much energy as the JLC. He always bounds in and gives every member of the Chris Moyles Show team a big manly hug.
He arrived early today and so filled the time rehearsing his moves for his impending performance in Chicago. It was a very funny sight.

As always we persuaded Justin to do us a song. If you didn't hear his version of Mistletoe and Wine go to the iPlayer and have a listen. He did it just before 9am. Class as always!

In a complete gear change (see what I've done there), we've got Jeremy Clarkson on Thursday. Do you think he'll be full of festive cheer?!!

So onto other business. Scandal hit the Chris Moyles Show this morning during Rob DJ's quiz. There I was happily going through the answers when Dom noticed that Dave changed changed his answer. I was not happy and am still disappointed in the fact that he was trying to pull a fast one. I don't like cheats so Dave was docked his points!

As always here are the questions from the quiz today....

What colour are official New York taxi cabs?
What is the capital of Canada?
Which football team are nicknames the rams?
Why are there 13 stripes on the American flag?
The Queensbury rules are standard rules of which sport?

Plus your bonus question....
NAME THE ARTIST - SWEET LIKE CHOCOLATE - 1999

Scroll down for the answers!
Have nice day!
Rachel

Rachel today will be spinning and going to her pilates class
Dave's friend Gareth (who's a builder) will be coming over today to have a look at the ensuite to see whether it can be redesigned.
Dom is taking his car for an MOT
Carrie is ill today - so presumably she'll spend it in bed!
Aled is putting the final touches for both the special Dom project and a secret Outside Broadcast which is coming up soon

Hello

We're a bit thin on the ground in the studio this morning. Aled is off on a secret mission (more next week on that next week!) and also Carrie is off sick (get well soon Carrie!). So, here's what the rest of the team are up to today.....

Chris is taking his car in for a service and he has 2 men trying to fix his treadmill problem. His Mum and Dad are visiting too.

Dom is weirdly taking his car in for a service too. Before that though he's doing the lunchtime edition newsbeat.

Dave has a very dull meeting with a very dull man about dull things. He'll then be going home to go skateboarding.

I'm going to a spinning class and then going to start writing Christmas cards.

Have a nice day now!!
