Product Information

In June, LGBT charity Stonewall marched with placards demanding the dismissal of Moyles during Europride in London. By 2005, Moyles and his team had succeeded in increasing the morning audience, with his programme's audience rising to 6.

In May 1998, his work was recognised with the award of the Silver Sony Awards DJ of the Year, and he was styling himself as 'The Saviour of Early Morning Radio'.

The media regulator also said in their view that because of the show's breakfast time slot that attracts a young audience it "had the potential to encourage children to discriminate against others" based on their actual or perceived sexual orientation and "ran the risk of being imitated on the playground" causing "unnecessary distress". A showman at heart, Moyles and his team recorded the spoof song, ‘Dogs Don’t Kill People (Wabbitz Do), knocking U2’s ‘Vertigo’ off the top spot, which led to an album release. Alongside a number of other Radio 1 and Radio 2 presenters, Moyles crossed a strike picket line in 2005.

While at school, he began his broadcasting career at WBHS (Wakefield's Broadcast to Hospitals Service), a voluntary staffed hospital radio station in the West Yorkshire city.Broadcast Bulletin Issue number 130" Archived 26 March 2009 at the Wayback Machine, Ofcom, 23 March 2009.

But you'll also get to meet his family and friends and learn about how he went from teenage DJ on a mental hospital radio show to the nation's favourite breakfast show DJ on Radio One. He and sidekick Dave Vitty had their own TV show, also entitled The Chris Moyles Show like their former Radio 1 show, which was aired from 1998–99 on the now-defunct UK satellite and cable channel UK Play. Stewart Lee, on his own programme Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, commented that the title of the book suggests "a degree of irony and self-awareness largely absent from the text itself" and then went on to deconstruct and mock the book's contents.
