Nice skirt she's wearing by the way

Aled: Do you want my body and you think I'm sexy? Come on baby let me know!

[jimmy g]

Aled: geeky, but I thought you might like to know that what you watch on TV does not count towards the viewing figures unless you have a special box which sends information to the company (which you would know about). So you cant double BBC Three viewing figures.

[jc]

I once knew someone who had these boxes attached to the TVs in his house. It was an immortal pain to remember to use the remote to indicate that someone was watching the TV at any particular time. No idea how to get one of my own, though. - jc

There's also a side-on shot of Rachel in today's fitness video that's not particularly flattering....

I knew that. I know someone who has one!

[superwoman]

Aled, i dont know whether youve been asked this already, but couldnt be bothered to track through many pages, but what do you think of the new times and how has it affected u? superwoman x

[Mk.]

Aled: Who's the nicest (and/or most genuine) famous person you've met?

(Oh, discounting colleagues )

[Mk.]

2 at the back btw, Rachel and Dominic

but Dominic is bald

DL

Hey look, it's dominic!

[jimmy g]

I knew that. I know someone who has one!

I only said this because on the other day you where wondering if your Sky + ratings would count towards the figures, but they would if you had a box thing.

Yes, I know this is dull, no one needs to point this out.

Aled: If Dave was away now, who would cover for him as Will is not on the show any more? Also are you going to go ages without a holiday not as people usually do when starting new shows.

[Hattie]

Aled: while Dave is busy watching Duke of hazard and Chris playing on his Xbox (etc) in the afternoons/evenings what do you do?

[ibop]

Just wondering, what is the new bed that has the singing at the start, that chris always sings along to, and where can i get hold of a copy. Also, where do you get your beds from for the show?

[Aled]

There's a lot of chat about who the team members are so I thought I'd help you out. The new larger Breakfast Show Team members are:

Chris & Dave - On air Presenters:
Rachel - On Air Producer:
Aled - On Air BA (Trainee Producer)
Dominic - Breakfast News Reader
Juliette - Breakfast Sport

Adrian - Breakfast News Editor (it varies weekly)

Will - Off Air Producer
Scott - Off Air BA

Ben - Breakfast Sound/Trails

Joe - Breakfast Show Exec Producer

Nic - Breakfast Press Officer

(Ben - Head of Mainstram / Andy - Station Controller Radio 1)

[Dickie]

A 14-person team.

That's alot of BBC staff.

They don't all work exclusively to the show.

[Dickie]

So Will we be treated to any of Will back on the airwaves?

[Adam]

Aled,

Have you heard about S4C planning their own Celebrity Big Brother?

[Ahh_Pathetic]

Scott - Off air BA

I pity the poor fool who has to make the tea.

[Bridgie]

i guess making the tea during a radio 1 show would be the highlight for an off air BA between taking 3 hours of phone calls

[Adam]

So, I take it Will is back from his Work Experience at Tiger Aspect then?

[Aled]

Scott - Off air BA

I pity the poor fool who has to make the tea.

Off Air BA means the same as Daytime BA. Scott and Will work office hours to take over from prep work that Rachel and I haven't finished. If it was just us two we would only have a couple of hours to get everything done during office hours before we had to go home, so they're there to continue the work.

[Aled]

So, I take it Will is back from his Work Experience at Tiger Aspect then?

Yes, he had an attachment there for 3 months working on one of their programmes. That programme was a Christmas special.

[jimmy g]

Thanks for your answers Aled. I hate to be a pain, but what do Will and Scott actually do? Maybe you could just give an example.

With this number of staff for a largely adlibbed show, just imagine how many there must be for a scripted show .

Furniture for New York New York comp
Beds for Red Hot Chili Peppers
Find clips on net
set up interviews
send out prizes
update website
chase guests
organise cart wall
script any specific reads
Produce spook ads
Mix parody songs
Attend R1 meetings
Create ROTs
sort out post
and generally finish anything Rachel and I have managed to do

Does that help?

There's normally at least 1 feature per half hour. Most new every single day that takes a HELL of a lot of work - too much for 2 people who only have 2 hours in the office after the show.

[Aaron]

Great impressions of Vernon Kay, Aled!
