And the weird thing is, that throughout the marathon show, the main page of the site was gone! Hah!

[Mugs]

I have to confess, I didn't come near the site until the end of the second night of the marathon and even then it was a flying visit. Was too engrosed in the red button.

Absolutely loved Inuendo bingo on Wednesday evening, I also loved Davina and Olly Murs.

I was a bit annoyed I didn't get the chance to listen to Chris and Dev. I've always had the feeling that Chris likes Dev and would have been good to see the two on air together. I have listened back a bit on the iPlayer to their second show together.

[Blizzard]

Now I know the atmosphere was increased because of the 3 guests and also because Chris was 42 hours in to his challenge, but still, wasn't that a great show ? I wonder if maybe somewhere down the line the 3 of them could team up for a 11pm to 2am show or something, shame it wont pay enough for what Chris would want, but for the listeners I think it would be great. No crappy playlist and just a lot of fun.

That doesn't look as big an increase as i expected unless the scale on the graph is quite short. And any news on when the redesign goes live Chris?

Regardless of the scale (which we can't see)... it looks like a ten fold increase in visitors. Certainly a bunch of new users registered on the forums.

Just been reading another review, this time from the Guardian's site, quite a decent one too:

[wheeliechic]

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Well done!

[bmstinton93]

Oh hang on. I hadn't scrolled across on that picture earlier. Now I see how massive the increase in visitors was. That is impressive

Nice Guardian review indeed, all but one of the comments below are good as well

Has anyone mentioned the nightmare that Aled, Sam & to a lesser extent Matt Fincham & the rest of the backroom staff must have had trying to set this thing up?

We know now that it was a bit of a broadcasting triumph, but only because it must have been planned like the Normandy landings. It could have been a disaster & its thanks to the long months of work of those behind the scenes that it worked so well. They had the hard work & worry. All Chris & Dave had to do was stay awake & not hit any guests.

So well done to Aled, Sam & the gang, you played a blinder.

Chris is such a' professional and brilliant at his job, but I tried to work out when Aled was sleeping - I saw him all through both days...

All the team are just amazing.

I tweeted Aled to say that the whole thing was slicker than your average Chris Moyles show. Sure, some things were spontaneous but on the CMS you are always aware of Aled and Sam because Chris brings them into play but throughout the longest show you could barely tell it was being produced at all - it felt so natural and organic in the way it progressed. Testament to everyone who played a role.

Aled was there all the way through, popping in and out, checking on the guys to make sure all was cool. The job he did was awesome. There was a palpable atmosphere of everyone pulling together and supporting Chris and Dave. Like you say, the whole team did a fantastic job.

[Yudster]

Aled.............The job he did was awesome.

Yes. definitely. Completely. And Sam, and Matt Fincham. Even him.

Apparently 'Lynn' is called Abigail - so perhaps this would be the same as Abi with Tim?

[Travis Bickle]

Yes. this is Lynn: http://twitter.com/#!/Abigailr4

I dont know how to show any of that on here other than that way

[Nicola_Red]

Probably easier to just write "she's @Abigailr4" (why does someone who works for a R1 DJ have "R4" in her name btw?)

I wanted to provide some sort of evidence she is who I am saying she is.

And maybe because there are four other abigailr's who have taken the name before her?

[jocky85]

I got it from that tweet too. Just wasn't sure if it was the Abigail that has been talked about before (obsessed with John Barrowman) and Chris has hired her or if it was a completely new Abigail

[bmstinton93]

So why does Abigail call herself Lynn?

One of the show's many Alan Partridge references, I believe Abigail is Chris' PA - "Lynn" was Alan Partridge's PA in the two I'm Alan Partridge series.
