Well I'm sure if it was true Aled would have been told to remain professional and not make any further comment-hence the fact that he has should end all speculation surely?

Damn, I was nearly right, I had Greg down as taking weekend breakfast and Dev replacing him on earlies.

Yeah I don't think Chris was massively enthusiastic about the Awards but yeah he might have been there for Fearne, something to talk about showbizy on the show and a nice night out for Sophie, not forgetting a nice pay packet for presenting the award. Besides I don't think Chris is that bothered by these events anymore, he's become so used to them it's like he can go into auto-pilot and just sail through them taking in all the positives and ignoring the repetetive tedious negatives

Well they don't have teachers and text books provided for re-sits anyway.

Nah Jono, I think they'll have a seperate room for that-so it can continue throughout the set, people could have problems at any time you know!

Somebody tell the MPs that the Daily Mail got there first-it's their agenda dammit! Don't let the MPs take that away from the Mail-they'll have nothing left to fill their venomous fish & chip wrapping.

Not if you're 16 and you just don't like being patronized.

I think he kind of fell into the job to be honest after working in BBC Monitoring centre getting the copyrights sorted they obviously thought they could just slap him in the job (it apparently consisted essentially of "button punching")-he certainly never had any qualifications and had a disc thrown at his head by Nicky Campbell on his first day. He was only in the job for a few months anyway until he became broadcast assistant to Chris.

Yeah it's a hell of a lot of dosh for "quite like". Still loved Huws Muse News.

Ashamed to say I played along-I gave myself half a point too for "Elly". Anyway at the end of it all I think it was terrible as a first show but there is room for improvement-but he can't improve it so much as so I like it in this slot.

Yeah it's an odd mess right now, I think it's like when they had that Apprentice style show on CBBC. Colin Murray is The Apprentice Nick Grimshaw is the CBBC equilvalent. There's also been no structure to the show so far and it just doesn't have that "late night exclusive club" feel I don't think Chris will rip into Grimmy-even though I bet he would love to. Chris is obviously bothered by the amount of non-DJs on Radio 1-he breifly mentions it in his book but not in any real detail. Obviously if he slagged off Grimmy get in a spot of bother and possibly even lose some of the teeny bopper Grim-Fans which he desperatley needs to cling onto his job. I hope to God Grimmy doesn't get breakfast-if he gets it over Mills or Greg-I'm gone, plain and simple.

See the thing is I've like all the music so far, loved some of it-but this isn't what I want from a night time show, I want the real alternative. I want stuff that would never be played during the day and so far while we have had stuff which is a bit more edgy, no one would bat an eyelid if any of it turned up on Mills or Whiley etc. Nah Annie Nightingale has gone too specialist now I think to be honest-don't get me wrong I love her show but she is dedicated the breakbeat stuff from now. Huw or Rob Da Bank were ideal for the show-Huw in particular if they wanted a young guy. Well Iain's a big fan of Danny's and he's not afraid to admit he nicks a lot of his material from Danny Baker & Tommy Boyd, he does tend to be quite honest about those things though.

Not a direct criticism of the show in the sense that Nick isn't up for the job but-did he not just ruin the whole show by telling us every single song which is going to be on, thus ruining the element of surprise (which Colin's show had aplenty).

Iain Lee (on Absolute Radio) has been doing it within the last few weeks too...

We've already had a klaxon go off.... Sounds like it will be an indie show then. How eclectic an indie show is yet to be seen...
