'''Car Park Catchphrase''' was a feature on [[The Chris Moyles Show]], co-presented by [[Chris Moyles]] and the voice of [[Roy Walker]]. The game was usually played at around 9:50am Monday to Thursday (Monday to Friday before [[The Golden Hour]] was introduced in 2007).

The feature was based on the popular ITV game show ''Catchphrase'', also presented by Roy Walker, which used animated graphics and a character called Mr. Chips. Contestants were asked to guess what the phrase was from the clue on screen.

On the Chris Moyles Show version, two contestants played the game. One would usually be a winner from the previous game and one would be a new player, although occasionally both callers would be invited back to play the game the following day.

After a brief chat with pre-recorded clips of Roy Walker, Chris would introduce the contestants by saying "Hello, line one/two, what's your name and where do you come from?" The contestants would then answer by saying "My name is 'x' and I'm from 'y'". After a chat with the contestants, the game would begin. Roy began the game by saying "Horns at the ready, fingers steady, it's time to play Car Park Catchphrase!"

Chris would read a clue to a well known phrase, often featuring the character Mr. Fish (a parody of the TV version's Mr. Chips), and the contestants had to 'buzz' in, using the horn from their car. If they got it correct, they won a point. If they got it wrong, the other caller got a chance to answer. The first to get two correct answers was declared the winner.

Before the BBC competition rigging scandal, the wining contestant received a mug with the face of a team member of their choice. After competitions were banned on the BBC, the winner received nothing.

Chris often asked the losing contestant if they wanted to give a 'shout out' to anybody, but cut them off before they had the chance to say anything, an often-used trademark of his.

Roy Walker said at the end of every game: "Say goodbye, Mr. Fish. He's waving!".
