I missed this, sorry it's late. But I did! Twice! And I laughed and cried at the same time. Was just a brilliant nostalgia trip and an insight to Radio 1 in the 90s and early 00s. Never have I known a radio show be off the air for over 20 years, and have so many people turn up to see them who remember. I saw them near Manchester, then they came to Birmingham after and I thought why not as it's 20 mins away from my front door. I'm glad they did it, and it feels now the book has been properly closed.

Here's a show that turns 20 years old tomorrow. They are like time capsules listening back to them.

I remember Greg doing the 10 minute takeover on drive. Probably over 10 years ago now. And someone requested DK and Epsilon - Barcelona from 2003. He had to dig around for it, but ended up playing a different mix to what I remember of it. He said he didn't recall it.

Here's one I put up a few years back. This show will be 25 years old this coming Thursday (22nd January 2026). Frightening, it sounds like just a few years ago listening back.

Superb! I'll enjoy having a gander through those. Here's something for you to look through if you haven't seen already in return. Lots of Radio 1 and Moyles stuff in here early 2000's and some breakfast, it was all uploaded during the pandemic by someone I kinda know. You may have seen some on mixcloud too. https://archive.org/details/chasefm If you want a more specific breakdown of the Moyles ones in there, I put them in a thread on chrismoyles.net https://chrismoyles.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=28030

I think one of the October 98 ones is Moyles' second ever afternoon show, caught by chance by Adam I believe. You'll have to let me know if you have any of the missing bits from anything incomplete, if you get the raw MP3 over of it I can bind them together in audition to complete it. Really looking forward to hearing the early 00's Moyles stuff, right up my era for my time listening to Radio 1. I'll listen to that one later tonight on my walk.

That's rare to see a full day from Radio 1 like that. The Scott Mills one is my recording from the day. I put up my archive a few years ago to mixcloud of all the shows I recorded of him between 2005 and 2007. Before you had to start paying. I think this should be viewable, but I digitised a tape collection a couple of so years ago. Not my recordings, someone else's. All Radio 1 from 1997 to about 2000. Chris Moyles, Zoe Ball and Kevin Greening, Mark and Lard. Plus a few other bits. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ul5dq3vQlIOkzsVc5UK4Y05FSXIm_TXV

Looking forward to hearing these, especially the Chris Moyles afternoon stuff. I digitised a lot of old tapes which had Moyles early breakfast and afternoon stuff on for someone years ago, it's still sitting about online. Once you get them on you'll have to link them in for us.

I know where he is. Bolton.

Annoys me when I hear people say that, I've heard it before. It's not Radio 1's area anymore to sound like 20 years before, it's Radio 2's now. Their argument is invalid as 20 years ago in 2005 Steve Wright was on afternoons on Radio 2, and 20 years before that he was on Radio 1 in 1985.

The problem is. Ken is in the frame of mind still that playing something from say 2001, is still music for kids and too new for Radio 2. The thing is, that year for example is almost 25 years ago. Time has moved on. Even 2011 now isn't Radio 1's job anymore. I was 13 in 2001 and I'll be 38 next year. I'm middle aged now and I'm well into Radio 2's demographic. But at the same time I don't want to hear Scott or Sara playing lots of Dr Hook and Cliff Richard, which is what Radio 2 would of been playing 25 years ago. It's too old for me, and I'll turn off. Radio 2 when picking brand new music have always gone for the "overall" type artists anyway. For example you could hear Rag n Bone mon and Sabrina Carpenter on both Radio 1 and 2. But Dave's new track will only be a Radio 1 song.

"LMF" from Laura's Diary. I can half guess but I never found out what that actually stood for. Lloyd on the show, the 10 year old football expert for the 2006 World Cup. "Brokeback Westwood" trailer. I couldn't contain my laughter on the bus. Before I drove. Shows how long ago that was.

Mark and Lard were in their mid 40's when they left Radio 1, Scott was about 50, Moyles in his late 30's. Simon Mayo was 44. I don't think the listeners really care as much as the papers do. If they make good radio and don't sound like a grandparent to anyone under 30, then it works.

Wonder they haven't added Outkast Hey Ya for a laugh. Years ago you knew when Radio 1 was off air simply by hearing that alone.

Bloody hell. Glad he's on the mend, thats pretty serious stuff.

I still miss Chappers.

Thing is I won't get to hear Scott much now he's moved. Except every once in a while. The same thing happened years ago when Chris Moyles moved from afternoons to breakfast on Radio 1. Reason being if I'm not at work, I'll be asleep. And if I am at work, I'm on afternoons and evenings.

Thrilled for Chopper. Feels like yesterday since it was 2000 and he was just doing the sports bits on Newsbeat. It's naturally the right move as he's been doing MOTD 2 anyway.

Dark days for radio. We are now a far cry away of the days what inspired me, in the late 90s and early 00s. I know things move on but this also lessens the chance for the next gen of radio superstars to work their way up. Ofcom are taking the shackles off. Well let's say they were basically tied to the wall beforehand. From stations running a community licence. Hopefully the talent can shine and develop there.

The usual "bring back Steve Wright" window lickers all over the place again with Scott's last afternoon show. Will be a good job when the day comes that they end up in a home and have their phones taken away. Won't be long now, graveyard is to your left I hope Scott smashes breakfast and puts the ratings through the roof. Good luck to him, I'll listen when I'm on earlies! On the radio 2 moanagram. I actually tried to organise a seance to bring back Steve Wright and also Desmond Carrington who died in 2017. To do the breakfast show instead of Scott as a double act.

Don't think Radio 2 could handle Moyles tbh even these days

This has been coming for a long time with Scott on breakfast. Although I will miss him on afternoons, I won't hear much of him that time of the morning sadly.

I wanted to buy it back and paint some go faster stripes on it. But apparently it was last on the road in 2017.
