I remember when Peel died in 2004. I think they put Rob Da Bank onto his slot for a while, it was nothing to say 'here's a replacement'. Was just to basically fill the two hours really and see how it went.

https://dl.sndup.net/jhvc/Mark Radcliffe, Anne Nightingale.mp3 Just recall this with Mark Radcliffe talking to Colin Murray years ago, and him mentioning Annie was one of the only two people who checked on him during his first day at Radio 1.

Very very sad news. There will never be another like Annie, cool and cutting edge from start to finish. Lovely words by Aled too. It really feels like the end of an era there.

Whooooooo!?! Is it one true voice off've popstars the rivals, Mark? Sounds just like her!!!

Chico off've chico time. Not so much whoooo, but shite.

Wasn't that the thing that was supposed to replace Dave Pearce's Dance Anthems on a Sunday, and lasted about 5 shows?

The Vamps. Proper whooooooo!!?

2, 3 and 4 seem to have done pretty well. Cat Burns seems to be the only one who's branched onto other stations mostly though (on Capital, Free...). I've also heard a lot more of pinkpantheress this year, where as last I'd hardly heard of her.

They did that echo/reverb on the mic thing for years. As far back as 2004/05 some old shows of Scott I have you can hear it. Especially with no bed underneath when he was talking to someone on the phone.

I find it strange they wouldn't have a pair of Technics in a 1xtra studio. Considering what it's mostly used for, drum and bass, hip hop etc. With DJ's mixing. Granted I know it's all mostly CDJ's nowdays for that, but usually the setups for DJ's usually have a pair of turntables included. For throwback sets, or DJ's doing something a little different.

Dave Pearce.

I believe they use something called dira. Kind of an in house thing.

Usually jumping between Radio 1 and 2 if I've only got fm. Switch to 2 when something I don't like is on Radio 1, vice versa when they start saying how great the 80s are on Radio 2 and play Jimmy Nail or sommat. In my car I have dab. So kisstory, Radio X and Absolute. Plus WCR, a local station where I am in wolves. Usually make a good effort for Scott when he's on.

I'd be shocked if they ever worked together again but you never know, a podcast would be great tbh! It works so well for Scott and Chris and could do for these. How did this get into a thread anyway? Sure I posted it in the shout box thingy.

Aren't Busted still tangled with Mcfly via their ballbag or is it 2003 again?

My heart. The lads look just as they did in 2000!

Maureen Rees off've Driving School in 1997.

08700 100 100 Anyone tried to ring it since 2010?

I can see that, but it depends if there's anyone left alive to moan. People are living longer now. It won't happen but there needs to be a 'Radio 3' that rivals smooth, playing everything pre 1990. Radio 2 has too much of an age range on it's plate.

Golden era. Then I had 10 years of tracks that stapled my youth from about 1997 to 2007, so across 2 decades. When I listened to Radio 1 a lot, and they still played 90s stuff frequently till about 2002. I was still a fairly young person when 2010 came around at 22-23 years old. Thing is though, even being a young person through a lot of the 10's the music never had that same 'impact' I felt. It was mostly too much of the same artists, same production, built to be a flash in the pan. A sign of the times we lived and still live in, social media heavy. Nothing lasts. Not that there wernt good songs, but they never seemed to make an impact on the world as tracks did from say the previous 5 decades. Doing a nostalgia show for the 10's I would find hard personally, because nothing instantly jumps out at me aside from Little Mix, Ed Sheeran or novelty records like Gangnam Style. Just what I see of it and I was involved in a fair chunk of 2010s.

The problem is with Radio 2 having the 00s stuff, is that they need to grow some balls so to speak. We can't have play it safe Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Will Young all the time. They need to play stuff like Pendulum, Linkin Park, Slipknot. Some of the popular dance and trance stuff too. This is how the 00s was and how we remember it. Otherwise if they don't it still suits Radio 1 better.

Leave the microphones up and make D.I.Y noises through songs you don't like.

You sure did. You also said you were going to give me 10 grand once I've been registered on here for 20 years. 2 more years... And I can buy 900 bags of pick n mix.

I like the idea of it. I remember bank holidays and the takeovers that used to happen back in the day, Chappers and Dave were on once playing all sorts of stuff. Also, it gives Radio 1 a chance to see what their demographic know of music that could be older than 5 years.

They are 'OK' but that's about as far as it goes for me, then saying that it's Radio 1 in general now for me anyway. Likewise to the above, when Scott is on I'm tuned into him because his show just suits better. It's more the music that makes me switch about nowdays. 2 when 80s before my time comes on, and 1 when 'gimmie a quid or man will stab ya nan' type grime comes on.
