I've just realised that it is Chris birthday on the 12th of March. So are they going to do anything for that I wonder.

Matt is off on Sunday 14th March and Mollie will present 1-4 solo.

Most likely. Depends if they burnout with a whole week of buildup.

It is always good radio - I wonder if the 9am finish is a start point - we know that Katie is on the chart and we know Matt and Mollie are planning something for it, last time in 2019 it was due to be 24hrs and Greg was due to cover for Scott on the day after however they continued until 4 and made it 27, the same as 2017 when they started at 4 after their own show I reckon 9am is the minimum, and they will actually go to 4pm Friday making it 31

Yea I spose with Covid etc they maybe didn’t want to Do it I think it will be good radio I would think it will be Scott and Chris on with Clara etc

I am guessing a couple of reason here. One around the specialist shows at the weekend, as you say. also around that there are probably more listener during the week, and with more listeners more chance for donations. It is only 2.75 days. when the sole record is 88 hours, I think that record is very much breakable. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-marathon-hosting-a-radio-talk-show

I didn’t know it was already broken lol

Currently stands at 66 hours https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-marathon-hosting-a-radio-talk-show-(team) Probably reached a point where it’s unattainable

Anyone else disappointed they aren’t going for Moyles 52 hour record

I think it's a shame they do these things on a weekday night, if it was a Friday or Saturday night I'd stay up to listen to parts of it. Is it due to the higher profile specialist shows being on the weekend nights?

I've only just realised why the press release has MAKE UK LAUGH AGAIN with random capitals throughout. It took until Scott and Chris said it on the radio to get the reference...!

Looking at the press releases it dose seem there is an opportunity for it to be longer than 24 hours. Since it dose start at 9am on the Thursday, with a due to end on the Friday. I am going to hazard a guess that it will carry on till the start of the Chart on the Friday. I am also glad it seems that pretty much ever presenters is going to be involved, I am guessing there is going to be a lot of zoom, so also a lot of zoom failures are going to happen I guess in the middle of the night.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/radio-1-lolathon Press release with all the details, nice to see that it involves all the presenters and good to see that it looks like lots of money is being spent on it. Very intrigued to see how they’ll do some of those things with Covid measures too!

It should be good. I am also looking forward to it, it is going to make some good radio

Ok pretty epic. LOLathlon for a week and then 24 hours? Looking forward to this.

RIP Non-Innuendo Bingo 😭

Seems that the start of the warmup and then the main events is 11-12 March with a 24 hour show.

So the DJ’s are doing it for a week. Then the lads are doing a 24 hour broadcast to end it on the 12th March

Makes sense due to restrictions - a whole week of DJs doing their own thing and then a 24 hour show on March 11.

Why’s it on the 5th March? That’s a Friday!

Starting 5th March!

So it is LOLathlon again. Here we go

It’s official! Lolathon 3.0

So it’s been talked about since Last Summer... Scott seemed to hype it up a lot so unsure if it’s just a lolathon 🤔

In the words of Greg. "Fun plans". I think most likely to be lolthon
