Thread: Chris Moyles and Radio 1 - RND

Have you seen this?
BBC - Radio 1

Chris Moyles, for Red Nose Day, is trying to break a record of being on-air for more than 51 hours... And, at just the 1/2 way point is already raised £550,000 pounds!!

I'm not a particularly great fan of Moyles, or of Radio1 (or of the BBC for that matter - "license fee grumble mumble") but this is spectacular. All the money raised for RND has always staggered me since being in this country, and, it continues to do so. In these tough times when money is scarce and everyone is afraid of what tomorrow brings - the altruism of folks whether it be RND, Japan, New Zealand is great and provides a small glimmer of hope that we aren't all lost!

Ah that's nothing cf to MTs contribution!!!!

I was watching this last night.

saw him this morning (on the red button) he looked shattered but was still going strong,he hadn't even taken his allowed sleep break incase it made him feel worse,Like you i'm not a fan of chris moyles but think this is a great way to raise money .

I love the Chris Moyles show, have been watching the streaming all day, they've been at it 34 hours now and raised £661k. This is on top of the over £500k Radio 1 listeners raised when Scott Mills did the Red Nose Trek. It's astounding really.

i love the Chris Moyles show

820K now. Blimey.

over £900,000 now, have dipped in & out online, only to see what celebs are popping in to visit him!

Yeah massive fan of the show here, have listened to this continually for the last 2 days, had the red button on until 1AM last night in the background. It's like early big brother, oddly compelling viewing.
Tough one tonight tho, Liverpool are playing, it's the desert red nose trek thing and this is on.....what to watch, what to watch???

Over 1 million raised now, Radio 1 record beaten. I'm watching the Red Nose Trek and DH is downstairs watching the booooorrrrrriiinnggg footie
