Chappers and Dave
Chappers and Dave was the name of an irregular BBC Radio 1 show presented by Mark Chapman and David Vitty. The show was usually only heard on air together when covering for other DJs at weekends. Following Mark's departure from Radio 1 on 24 December 2009, the Chappers and Dave show format became defunct. In late 2010, Chappers and Dave presented their own show on BBC Radio 5 Live called Commentary Selection Box. Significant Cover Work. Whilst the pair have no regular slot on Radio 1, and usually only cover occasional weekend shows for one or  two-week periods, recently they have covered shows for significant periods of time. The idea for a show was conceived as a cover between JK and Joel joining the station in July 2004 and Scott Mills move to daytime. They hosted a sports programme from May to July 2004 from 1–4. The pair also presented Radio 1's Weekend Early Breakfast Show for two months during the second half of 2008 in between Nihal leaving the show and Nick Grimshaw arriving. They also covered the Lie In on Sunday mornings in late 2008, to fill the gap between Dick and  Dom leaving the show and Sara Cox taking over in 2009. Individually. They can be found individually on other shows. Mark was heard on air during The Scott Mills Show, weekdays 47pm, while Dave was heard on The Chris Moyles Show, weekdays 6:3010am. Mark presented his last show on the station on Thursday 24 December 2009, to concentrate on his career as a sports journalist, specifically for BBC Radio 5 Live and ESPN. Mark has been known to fly solo on occasional weekends as well as covering for Scott whilst he is away. Dave has occasionally presented on his own  when Mark cannot cover with him. Other appearances. They appeared in the 12 May episode of "The Weakest Link", winning over The Chuckle Brothers. In 2008, they raised over £175,000 for Sport Relief by running a mile at every premiership football ground in England and Scotland in 8 days. Chappers also completed the 2008 Flora London Marathon for children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent. The two also regularly DJ across the country.
