Didn't know that Whitney Houston was a cover presenter for Simon Bates!

He's brilliant! The northern wit too just tops it off. The R1 Greatest Hits show is SO good!

Dev was unavailable to cover as he was in Majorica (I think!). Yasser covered his weekend show. Mistajam was much better than Cel Spellman!

Mistajam was covering Greg last Thursday and Friday because Greg and Chris Smith were doing signings of their newly released children's book 'Kid Normal' - not because of summer mix advert filming. Scott and Greg appeared to film their pieces in the morning and Grimmy and Clara in the afternoon.

I have done a little research and, since the start of this year, Matt has had five full weekends off and four half weekends off (half meaning does one out of two days). Does anyone else think holiday entitlement is too generous? For example, Clara does five shows a week at almost three hours long and still manages to fit other commitments around that.

It's unlikely but if he does, can Matt be the first one out the door and replace him with somebody who actually bothers to do his contracted hours?

Surely Diane Abbott would present Radio 1 Stories: Music by Numbers?

Katie Thistleton is presenting the Surgery next Wednesday but I have no idea if she is the permanent replacement.

Talk about low-key exit! No idea who will replace her but I bet we will know before 10pm.

Ready Steady Cook.... WHOOOOOOoooOOOOOooooOOOOoooOOO!

When all of the usual breakfast team is off on holiday, yes, all of Scott's team move to breakfast and all of Matt's would move into Scott's show for the period of time that they cover but this is not always the case. However, if Scott covers breakfast when Grimmy is off sick or has the odd day off (usually Monday or Friday), the breakfast team will remain unchanged (i.e. Fiona as AP, Tina as newsreader etc) as will Scott's team in the afternoon.

Most of the time when Alice plays, it is live because, as you said, she's in during the week preparing for her shows. As for other pre-recorded stuff, almost all the weekend interviews are pre-recorded. With Scott's show, things like the Who game and some listener stories (especially when you see Scott's/Chris' pleas on Twitter) are done prior to the show. Other listener's stories can be entirely live though.

Jameela Jamil. WHOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOOooOooooOOOOOOOOO!

Great WHOOOOO! British Home Stores... WHOOOOoooooOOOOOOOoooOOOO! (Too soon?).

It would be a MASSIVE mistake if the bosses went out of their way to remove Mills from Radio 1. He is by far the best DJ on the station.
