Chris Packham's wild attack on Chris Moyles

[Travis Bickle]

Roughly what time? I missed quite a bit of the show this morning.

Just after 7am if I remember correctly.

[Nicola_Red]

Ta. I'll probably clip it at some point.

[MK Chris]

He's quite right and it is typical of the kind of uninformed, baseless attack on Moyles that occrus on the basis of hearsay. Chris Packham could also have done it in the hope of raising a reaction.

I wouldn't call it a massive rant. He mentioned it, but I thought the "rant" bit was just for effect really - I don't think he was all that bothered.

[Bonanzoid]

It was 35mins in or so, Nic.

[R94N]

Maybe he only reads about him in the papers.

Yes. That would be just after 7am.

I dont think he was particularly arsed about it either. If anything I think Chris was just a bit nonplussed by it.

[Nicola_Red]

I'm listening now and no, definitely doesn't qualify as a rant. He's barely even bothered, especially when you compare it to last week's lost audio clips debacle.

Fair enough if you don't like Chris, I've been listening to the show long enough to know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but the marathon show is off limits for slagging. Come back when you've raised nearly £3 million in a couple of days.

Agreed, Chris Packham is a toss pot.

Indeed it is, and I missed your post. Whoops.

The Chris Packham rant (if you wanna call it that) is now in the sound vault:

Chris Packham calling Chris Moyles mediocre? When I've seen Packham on Springwatch, I've literally had no opinion of him as a TV presenter, positive or negative. I mean, he's just "there". I can't think of anyone on TV more mediocre than him.

[R94N]

Is the thread title supposed to be a pun Ben? I only just noticed.

[bmstinton93]

I copied what The Sun put so yes.

[R94N]

Oh yeah, there's the link. Duh....

[Ajescent]

The episode is coming out on Friday at 8:30 on BBC1, I suggest people watch before coming down on one side or the other completely.

[dreamer1978]

I am going to watch Room 101 later to see what the hell Packham said about Chris.

EDIT: Thanks to Frank Skinner for standing up for Chris agains Packham. Packham piss off you shit.

[Nicola_Red]

I thought Packham came off like an idiot and I'm glad Frank defended Moyles. But meh, whatever. He's entitled to his opinion, and to express it while wearing a really horrible camouflage print shirt.

[MrAndee]

Just watched it . I know its supposed to be a cynical show an' all , but i think Packham was over the top.
He had so much anger describing Chris . Has Packham actually met Moyles? I'm sure he'd change his tune then.
I was just saddened by it all.

Apparently grunting and putting your head in your hands stands for credible debating these days.

[dreamer1978]

You can see Prickham is shaking in anger when he is talking about Chris. How can he say that we all died in our rooms when Chris and Dave did the 52 hour Marathon. We watched it and survived.

I saw on Twitter that CP was trending worldwide and most of the comments were that he acted like a tw*t. Looks like he's done himself more harm attacking Chris, good serves him right.

[Nicola_Red]

Seriously people, don't get so upset about it. There are tons of Moyles haters out there and sometimes some of them will get airtime. I support his right to say those things - the show listening figures speak for themselves.
