Aled, how do you feel about being in the voting of Company magazine's most eligible and gorgeous batchelor???

Aled,

Does Chris have a secret username on this board that you know of or do you just relay anything interesting to him personally?

by **Nicky** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:06 pm

It'd hardly be a secret if he answered that, would it?

by **Uglybob** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 6:30 pm

did you meet Gerry Anderson from Radio Ulster (he does his show at 10:30am at the Radio Foyle studios). Hes very good for his age.

Well it would, I wasn't asking WHAT it was, merely if it existed.

Aled,
do you like thunderbirds, or any other puppet based shows? e.g Joe 90, captain scarlet etc..

Aled, geeky question here. How do OB's work with the line back to the studio? Obviously when your at other BBC studios it's easy because all the proper lines are already in place, but say when you go to Eastenders or the pub around the corner to do the show, does special lines need to be installed for the few hours?

At Radio Shetland we can use a bog standard telephone line, but thats because we only need voice sent over, no music.

OBW was amazing! I loved it, had a great time. Derry were very good to us. Avril Lavigne without doubt had the wierdest list!

it was all a bit wierd! And to win the Welsh poll was amazing. My next year of pulling is going to be SO much easier!

No, I don't think we did. Or at least, if we did I don't remember. I feel as though we met everyone who works there though, and their kids! They were all very good to us.

I didn't actually. Wasn't in to any of those shows - although there was one on a Sunday morning that I liked that ended with a game of naughts and crosses with the baddies - that's all I remember of it!

I'll be honest. I'm not too sure of how they work. I know we have two lines and I know we have had them installed in the past for an OB, further than that... I'm not sure. Sorry.

PsBs. Nightmare. Especially on Chris' show! We have to log EVERYTHING that's played on the show. Including clips of 3 seconds and longer like sound effects and theme tunes.

I don't know sorry, he's not at Radio 1 any more.

I haven't looked to be honest! Do you think she has?

Aled, how pleased are you with the figures announced today?

Has getting the figures up been an issue that has come up in conversation or lot, or did you (as a team) not really worry about it?
