Unofficial Mills began in 2004 as a small fan project celebrating the humour, chaos and unforgettable moments of Scott Mills’ time on Radio 1.
What started as a few sound clips and a basic forum grew into one of the best-known unofficial communities for Radio 1 fans — a place to share memories, revisit classic clips and keep the old in-jokes alive.
More than 20 years later, Unofficial Mills is still here. While Scott is no longer employed by the BBC, the community around his shows continues to thrive. The archives, forums, shoutbox and presenter discussions help fans relive a unique era of UK radio history.
Keeping that online comes at a cost. Hosting, backups, forum software, bandwidth, security and technical maintenance currently cost more than £40 every month.
