Throwback: Scott's #BriefBreakfast


OohErr

Recommended Posts

Seeing as we will soon be in-between breakfast shows once again, I thought we could take a look back at the last time this was the case - and Scott Mills brought us Radio 1's shortest running breakfast show ever!

They're a really good listen, but it really shows how much Radio 1 changed post-2012. Compared to Moyles who finished the previous week, Scott played A LOT of music, but by today's standards it really wasn't that much. The whole thing sounds a lot freer and less formatted than it does today. 

But the first show especially makes you realise how weird and unprecedented it was for Chris Moyles to not be doing the breakfast show for the first time in many people's listening memory (including mine).

Have a listen to some/all of them and share your thoughts here!

N.B. This was also the point at which Chris used to stay in a youth hostel near Radio 1 :D

Thanks for uploading these, currently listening to Monday's and looking forward to listening to the rest of them. IMO the playlist sounded a lot better back then - more pop and indie and less 1xtra grime and rap type stuff. Scott and Chris excellent as always.

Thank you for posting these - ive binged on them as I was on holiday back when Moyles left and Grimmy started so I missed this whole week back then!

Btw, how do have all of these vintage shows, OohErr? I’d be lying if I said I wasnt very jealous hahaha

I get access to a thing through uni which has basically every BBC show from 2007 onwards and possibly stuff from other channels too. It is bloody brilliant, I'm fully taking advantage, although you're not really supposed to be able to download stuff...

Agreed. That's probably not so much a problem with the playlist than the way the charts have changed over the last six years. Back in 2007/08 there was a tonne of indie rock on the playlist because it was in the Top 40. Almost unimaginable now.

  • 4 weeks later...

I asked Chris and Scott on twitter if this would be the second shortest breakfast show ever for the next three weeks 

 

I have asked this before, so wonder what will happen Monday, will Scott use his breakfast Jinges, will he use his generic afternoon ones, him and Chris did mention this afternoon they are on breakfast next week and in for "no one" and that they wanted to get their hands on Grimmys photo booth  

I was listening on the radio 1 archive blogspot site to the shows in 2012 and his main jingle was the one that is still used on the podcast now

    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
    • Frozen Indigo Angel... Whoooooooo?!!
    • Did it take a lot of tempting to go to Capital Jordan? Did you feel like you’d achieved everything you could at Radio 1 (other than breakfast)? Chris, how did your Capital move come about? Did Radio 1 want you to stay after Scott moved on?

    • I never expected to be enjoying a commercial radio Breakfast Show, but this is a good listen and less adverts than I might have expected.
    • It's got more of a Fri/ Sat feeling to it, for me. But there's nothing inherently wrong with the show.
