Radio 1's Longest Show

Radio 1's longest show finished this morning with Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave, I'm kind of sad it's over....

It's been huge fun turning on the Radio for the past few days and those guys being on all of the time, watching it on the Red Button in the morning and in the evening, I miss it now.

I am in serious amazement of everyone at Radio 1 for pulling off an amazing couple of days radio, well done to you all.

Then there's the money, I just can't believe how much money was raised, seriously, just under 2.5 million ££££.  I had a few teary moments listening to the "money raised so far" announcements.

For those that are not in the UK, or did not hear about this, 2 Radio 1 DJs broke the world record for the longest DJ show by staying on for 52 hours straight.  Other DJs came in at their normal times and did the show with them.  There was a ton of celeb guests during the whole thing, it was also videoed and streamed online and on BBC TV.  The whole thing was to raise money for Comic Relief, a UK charity raising money for less fortunate people in the UK and Africa.

Well done guys
