Jordan is doing early breakfast next Monday, and Adele is in for Clara. Looks to be all week though.
Cel is doing the Specialist Chart next Tuesday at 3am.

Dev's on at 4pm today instead of Greg. Don't think it was planned, I checked the schedule on Friday and Greg was down to be on today I think. Greg's still down for the rest of the week at the moment though.
I don't think anyone would begrudge Greg for taking a day off today, planned or otherwise, given what he went through last week!

That's exactly the sort of thing Jordan North would say!
Besides, he might say it was a cold but his Instagram story says different...
Promise I'm not though!
He did allude to the fact that Burnley won at the football yesterday, and that may have played a small part on how he was feeling today, but it was mainly the cold.

Second (or third? Fourth) the feedback on Mollie King. A pleasant surprise.
On another note. Oooof. Jordan sounds rough today.
Jordan has said he had a sore throat/cold and was not self inflicted.
Disclaimer: I am not Jordan North.

Jordan, I think I'm in love with you. Or at least as in love as you can be with a (presumably male) stranger off a Scott Mills forum.
I just heard their interruption on the podcast and came here to write basically everything you just wrote. Totally agree, especially the Dan and Phil comparison. Hit the nail on the head.
On another note, Scott just mentioned his "friend Robbie" who's married now... I reckon he was talking about Robbie Williams. They're on the record as being mates.
2018 Lisa & Steve (whoooooo!)?
It could be Robbie Williams, but also could be anyone. Scott isn't as revealing about his celebrity friends unlike a certain Nicholas Grimshaw.

This is not to do with the show per se, but with the podcast. I have noticed that this week, the podcasts have been interrupted by a trail for Niki and Sammy's 'Peachy Podcast'. It's a clever idea, but they have that whole forced fun and cheesiness that Dan and Phil (whoooooo!) had going on and it's annoying me.

Just announced on air that the challenge is over. Greg and Adele sounded really emotional, although he seemed to be trying to see the positives and having a laugh about it. Absolutely gutted for Greg. But what a hero. An absolutely incredible week of radio, and an absolutely incredible three days of challenge even though he couldn't finish. I have no doubt that if it wasn't for the weather forcing health and safety to call it off, he would've been able to do it. I can't imagine how he must be feeling right now.
I agree. He definitely would have completed it, and he sounds devastated at having to admit defeat. I have every respect for him and all his team that have done this with him.

The total is now £311,973 as at 0710 this morning, up £34,817 since 1930 last night. Greg and the team are grounded at the moment though, due to the Red weather warning in much of central Scotland.

I’d much rather them do more of the google game or the who game, which they havent done in ages!
On one of the shows last week, Scott did read out a text or tweet from a listener asking when the next who game would be and Scott did say that they have done one for a while, so I guess we'll wait and see...

Anyone else not really feeling the Take Me Out game? Maybe it's cause I don't watch the show, but I just don't find it that entertaining.
Their responses (especially Scott's) are quite funny, but it's not a feature I would miss if they stopped doing it.

£74,000 + raised so far from the total just revealed.

Only £19,000 raised so far. I thought it would be quite a bit higher than that and I think Greg sounded a bit disappointed in that as well.
I think the total will rise a lot, certainly today and tomorrow. Adele has posted a picture on Twitter of snow in wherever they spent the night last night. I can also confirm that there is a similar amount of snow on the ground where I am in Scotland, and it'll be worse inland where Ben Nevis is!

He clearly wasn't a fan of having Greatest Hits imposed on him (neither were we), but this is promising.
I don't think any of us are a fan of the Greatest Hits anymore, are we? It was great in September to mark the 50th birthday, but now it is just boring. As I have said before, Radio 1 are dedicating 8.5 hours a week to the Greatest Hits. Too much in my opinion, and some of the song choices included are questionable too!

That's a bad sign - it sort of suggests that the Maya Jama Fridays won't just be the normal show where Maya Jama happens to be a contributor in a Chris/Beccy style role, but they will be focussed on her like she's a guest being interviewed, but EVERY WEEK. Yawn. I wonder how long it will go on for?
I think we can safely the BRITs will be the biggest talking point tomorrow (given Maya's connection to Stormzy, shall we say!).
-
Their resident Private Investigator, James, has been moved from Fridays to Thursdays now that Maya Jama is co-presenting on Fridays. It'll be a bit of a waste if they don't make up any features and just play more music.

Happy day after the BRITs day! Should be a good show.

Scott did say yesterday that there won't be any form of a repeat of past BRITs years, and he and Chris are sounding alright today!

Got my request played on the Bamboleo gap today! It was the "let's get social to social media" song.
What a throwback!

Phil Taggart is sitting in for Annie Mac on Wednesday 21st, Thursday 22nd and Monday 26th March, as well as Monday 2nd April.

12th October according to Genome (Emma B - whooooo - was on from the 5th to the 9th, and before then Chris Moyles was on. http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/radio1/england/1998-10-11
A wee while yet then! It certainly sounds as though he isn't ready to leave yet, and I hope Ben Cooper has picked up on that.

One of my favourite things about Gemma's sidelining was the way after it was announced she was coming off early breakfast she pretty much stopped showing up and Adele started weeks before she was formally due to!
EDIT: Just looked it up because I was interested to see if I remembered it right. It went like this. Gemma on w/b 13th April 2015. Announcement Wed 15th April. Gemma on w/b 20th April. Gemma off w/b 27th April and w/b 4th May (Adele sat in). Back w/b 11th May. Off w/b 18th May (Adele sat in). Back Mon 25th - Wed 27th May. Off 28th and 29th May (Yasser sat in). Adele started Monday 1st June. So in her last six weeks of early breakfast, she only actually did 2 1/2. 13/30 shows. Actual LOL.
That's so embarrassing! Of course, we don't know the reasons for her only doing 13/30 shows in six weeks - there could have been a variety of reasons, but it certainly looks suspicious!

As entertaining as that show would be, I hope I don't have to hear it for a very long time.
I was trying to read deeper into what Scott was saying but it was difficult - I *think* he was implying he's not ready to go just yet? Which is good news. But it's interesting that he said he's been thinking about how he'll leave for years - I remember him saying in 2012 that at the end of his next contract that would probably be it but it seems he's had a change of heart since then.
That's what I picked up from it too - he's not ready to go yet, but he'd like the choice to go at a time of his choosing as opposed to being forced out in a way that Chris Moyles was, for example.
I would like to see Scott stay at Radio 1 until at least the end of this decade, anyway. I have no idea when he actually celebrates his 20 year anniversary at the station though. I know it's definitely this year. Would it be around the same time as Aled, perhaps?

This new weekend breakfast show is clearly an attempt to keep Alice on Radio 1 whilst avoiding having cover presenters every other week. She's so often away working on other projects that this will avoid the need to have people filling in for her. It reminds me of the dying days of Colin and/or Edith.
Agreed. Either that, or this is a sign that Alice's days on Radio 1 are coming to an end and management have put her on a slot she won't be best pleased with.
A bit like Gemma Cairney in that she was shunted to 4am and then the further demoted to an hour long slot once a week. I believe she can now be heard doing relief work on 6Music. Although Alice is a much better broadcaster than GC is.
Gregathlon 2018: Pedal to the Peaks Challenge
in BBC Radio 1

There has been a special podcast created, telling the story of the Gregathlon last week. It's available via Greg's pages on the website where you would download his podcast 'That's What He Said'. It's nearly an hour long, so should be a good listen!
