Read somewhere today that Peel says in his autobiography that when Chris Moyles first joined Radio 1 he felt like strapping explosives to himself and taking both him and Moyles out.

Can you remember that show the bloater had on TV? It was alike TFI Friday with no bands and no guests. Plus he has a 'great face for radio'. Didn't last long, funnily enough.
