Access All Areas 2010

Radio 1's Access All Areas came back for 2010, and was even bigger and better than ever.

From Monday to Friday, The Chris Moyles Show was around the UK on tour, doing the show in front of a live theatre audience each day, and live for you to watch on the Red Button of your TV. And that was just the start of it. Each day, we gave you access to a different area of Radio 1.

Monday - Access All Areas to the DJs
Have you always want to find out what makes our DJs tick? Now's your chance to find out. We organised a whole day of live video web chats, and you can see the results online!

Tuesday - Access All Areas to Newsbeat
How does a story become a newsbeat story? What do they actually do up in the newsroom? Who presses all the news buttons? All these questions and more were answered on the Tuesday of Access All Areas.

Wednesday - Access All Areas to The Music
Last year Aled Tweeted throughout the Radio 1 Playlist meeting... this year, Greg was actually allowed in. Also, find out what happens behind the scenes at our BBC's Maida Vale studios when there's a Live Lounge. Find out more

Thursday - Access All Areas of the People of Radio 1
There's an amazing team of people behind the scenes at Radio 1 that keep things on-air. Throughout Thursday, different members of staff nipped in and out of our 'diary room' so they could answer your questions. Watch the videos again

Friday - U Ctrl Radio 1
After a week of seeing how we do it, on Friday you had the chance to run the radio station. You picked the music all day, and helped us pick the guests. Thank you! Read more

Saturday - Register for a tour of Radio 1
We opened the doors to a lucky few small groups to tour the Radio 1 building. And for those of you that couldn't be here, we've made an online tour instead. Take the virtual tour

Sunday - Access All Areas to the Chart
We ended the week with a look at how we make the Official UK Top 40, including a webstream for the last hour of the show where you could hear everything that was said during the records.

And that's not all of it - our sister station BBC Radio 1Xtra also held an Access All Areas week - see all their videos and more.
