Just managed to tune in with 50s left till the broke the WR, and donated. Good on them I say (even if I don't really like Moyles that much).
record broken, still going on through to half 10. well done to them 🙂
record broken
Well we know what he'll be talking about for the next year! Luckily I don't listen to him anymore!
Donation made, I hope Chris and the team are donating some of their wages made from working the extra 50 hours.
Well I reckon 50hrs has gotta be worth £5, so I've just donated.
Brilliant job! 😀
£1.8m!
Millie - they're not getting paid.
Regardless of if you like him or not, theyve raised over £1.8million for comic relief, that outstanding!
IIRC they made it quite clear early on in the show that they're not getting paid any extra for the show...
not keen on the fella at all,
but thats a fanatstic achievement
Milkie - they're not getting paid.
I thought the behind the scenes team were getting paid for it? I realise the main team, Chris, Dave, Aled were not getting paid, as the papers made a fuss about it so they said they would not get paid for it.
Who gives a t0ss if they're getting paid....... they're going to raise £2million!
I'm amazed, after 50 hours he still sounds like he does on a normal morning (whatever that means).
LOL at all the Moyles 'haters' - get a life, you sound just like my 8 year old daughters...
"She did it, not me"
"No I didn't..... liar"
"I hate you""
"I hate you more"
"Shall we go and play?"
"Yeah, come on"
£1.8!?!?!
Fek me, that's nearly £500,000 since I got up!!!!
Some idiots on here. He has raised £1.8M for charity and didn't he climb a mountain for charity last year too. A lot more than the hating idiots on here are doing I'm sure.
Haha...... Fearne Cotton going to do the last 20 mins of the show in in her swimming costume - I bet she's high maintenance but who cares..... 
I feel a tearful end to it all! Good on them all!!!
radio1 site has crashed with everyone trying to watch the streaming of cotton in a bikini
That is funny.

Most are doing their jobs as usual (e.g. producing, presenting, supporting their shows as they would even without the marathon show), so why shouldn't they get paid? I suspect they have all donated to comic relief and put in extra (unpaid) hours to make it a success.
Nearly £2.5million!!
£2.4 million!
WooHoo!
2.4million!
Amazing.
Think I've got something in my eye.
Please stop chopping onions near me.
well after watching and lsitening to about 35-40 hours of the show (mrsconsequence has watched even more.. prob about 45 hours) i dont get to hear or listen to the last 30 minutes cos of all the perves crashing the radio1 site.
good to hear they've done 2.4million.
more respect for them than the STW haters right now 8)
So, admit it then, who's had a perv at Fearne?
God bless the Red Button 🙂
yeah well done and all that .. but the guy is still a massive dong.
comedy dave can stick around though.
I applaud his money raising efforts - just can't stand the self-rightous chump.
And the mountain climbing was a frickin' joke. no doubt, a huge amount of time and money was involved to get a load of 'celebrities' half way around the world to raise money. At least this year the overheads will be less.
Amazing.
Pure Awesomeness...
God bless the Red Button
's a serious tattoo she's got there.
And the mountain climbing was a frickin' joke
I thought that celebrity JOGLE run was a joke as well... all taking turns to do a 2 hour ride then spend the rest of the time getting chauffeured around in a winnebago, crying about how hard it is.

Yeah. Loads of people who didn't have to raised a bundle of cash for charity. The bastards.
🙄

Are you going to say the same about the desert trek they did this year?
Non of the money to actually get the people out the the Mountain, and the desert, came from the charities pocket. This was mentioned at the start of both events.
And because its the 'famous' people doing it, it inspires much much more people to then donate.. So i think calling it a Joke, is abit of a joke in itself to be honest.
Just my opinion though..
There are times when I think that some of the people on here are absolute idiots.
Whether you like him or not, Moyles has just raised £2.4 million for a charity, £2.4 million, that is a huge amount of money. So please, just for today, can we ignore whether you like him or not, ignore how much he earns, ignore whether you like radio 1 or not, and just appaud the guy.
What he has done is awesome, amazing, brilliant. He and Dave deserve a huge amount of credit, as do the support staff around him. Well done Chris and Dave, I take my hat off to you.
Ferne raised about £600K in about 20 minutes which was quite impressive, I think if they had a another text in to get the webcam working they would have got even more!
I tell you what, there's some bloody miserable people on here!
Who cares if you don't like Moyles/any other "celebs" the fact is, they have made an effort to raise a massive amount of cash to help people who have nothing compared to what we all have and take for granted.
"Moan moan i hope they arn't getting paid etc" why don't you get involved and do something costructive or clear off back to your boring office instead of whining on here.
Well done to Chris and everyone who donated.
Nuff respect to Moyles...
Love him, hate him, or totally indifferent towards him, that is one serious truckload of cash he has just managed to raise for charity!
And as for the rest of the efforts made, this year and in the past, does it matter that you might be able to do better? So what that they did JOGLE as a team taking shifts, because they're celebrities, other people were inspired to put their hands in their pocket! If you and I did it, I suspect we'd not raise a fraction of the cash... And this is the important bit... Though got to say, Miranda Hart annoyed me so much last year on that JOGLE run, by riding only one stint and then giving up about an hour in, when the likes of Paddy Kielty and Fearne Cotton were doing more than their fair share...
Respect to Mills too, a week in the desert! Not for me no thank you...
But surely none of the haters on here can take away from the legend that is Eddie Izzard... Ok it's a couple of years ago now, but just look what he did! That is something I doubt even the fittest and most serious athletes that frequent this forum could ever attempt...
They originally were not doing it for charity, they just wanted to beat Simon Mayo's record, then the Beeb stepped in as the papers caught hold of a story, people getting paid extra, and no money going to charity. They were then asked to do it for free, which lets face it, you'd have to be some right **** if you turned round and said no I'm not doing it for free and for charity.
Fair shout at the amount they have raised, they really should do something similar every year, Longest road show? My tenner donation was worth it for Fearne.

Really??? Sounds very odd as it was only announced 2 weeks ago and Simon Mayo did it for Comic Relief as well.

Utter bollocks
they originally said they were doing it for comic relief. they also said a few days later that hey were amazed because neither comic relief nor the bbc were interested in supporting it. something tat the production crew from r1 managed to get sorted out.
i think that what they've achieved is amazing, especially when you consider that they raised more than lets dance for comic relief and the desert walk combined.
if you dont like him, dont listen to him. ftfy.
