OohErr

One of my favourite things about this is that on Heart's afternoon show in 1996, Chris Smith was reading the news for Scott. And 21 years later, on Radio 1's afternoon show, Chris Smith is reading the news for Scott.

I'm listening back to a bit of it - it reminds me of that clip knocking about of Scott on Heart in 1996 where he's doing the All Requests Lunchbreak - he definitely went a bit more posh than usual. Not bad from what I've heard, but a bit weird hearing him not on R1.

Me and radio1fan have also been grabbing and editing the shows - so far we have 1pm on Thursday to 10am on Friday I think, should be ready soon.

(for about four minutes).
15:55 today, listen back. Long silence. In case you're interested, first two tracks on the emergency tape are The Vamps - Last Night and Fuse ODG - Million Pound Girl, with an old sweeper in between. I'd reckon it was last updated around Spring 2014. Matt came back on and discussed it afterwards, apparently it was Charlie Sloth's fault. Very funny.

It is a fine old horn indeed.
27 and in the midlands? Never heard such a load of nonsense in my life. Next thing you know you'll be telling me Keith Lemon is actually a bloke called Leigh. Madness.

Wow DC. Based on your bio/picture  (and the fact that you've been knocking about on these forums for yeeeeeeears), I always assumed you really were a 50-something man who lived in Iraq. Being 27 and living in the midlands has irreversibly changed my perception of you.

I think 275k is pretty amazing for 24 hours! The Gregathlon got a million but that was over a week so 5 days, it was all in daytime, got heavy promotion & regular updates on all the daytime main shows and was more of an "achievement" thing. Scott & Chris only had 6 and a half hours of primetime R1 really (Drive on Tuesday when it was only starting so the hype wasn't there yet and it hadn't hit its stride plus breakfast on Wednesday). A lot of it was evening, overnight, mid-morning, afternoon- hardly peak time. 
What an amazing 24 hours of radio though- the Non-Innuendo Bingo was possibly one of my favourite ever Mills moments (so hilarious), the Chris Stark roast, Sex Hour, Charlie Sloth Fat Jokes all brilliant and it really got going with Matt Edmondson, Alice Levine, Nick Grimshaw and Greg James there from about 10pm-4am. That was just the Lolathon and Radio 1 at its best and the jokes got much filthier! 
Only criticisms: they could've booked slightly better/bigger celebrities to come in- they got Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand etc but there could've been more big names maybe?
Also- the music got really boring after a while. They must've played Lorde and Kings of Leon about 10 times each. Best bits were Ten Minute Takeover, Grimmy's picks (like Kaytranada, Florence & The XX etc- sounded amazing on late night radio and were great throwbacks to his time doing that show), Mistajam had some good ones, Workout Wednesday on Adele's slot: there should've been more of that and more variety- maybe some older tracks and ones Radio 1 hasn't played in a while. The playlist just got quite repetitive.
Brilliant show, great job by Scott & Chris, hilarious, fantastic cause and loads of money raised! *hand clap emoji*

Anybody else noticed how when they say "text LOL to 70703" they sometimes add the explanation that it's because of the Lolathon. Someone belatedly realised that playing out serious emotional appeals about serious issues and then responding to them with a "LOL" was a bit crude and ill thought through.

and is there any bloody wonder?!

I seem to remember Scott and Chris not much liking Lee Nelson, or at least not finding him very funny. When he pulled the Sepp Blatter stunt, they were less than impressed.

Harry Hill and Lee Nelson on in the last hour. Both massive WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's, in my opinion!

Nice! If you want a hand with recording or editing let me know.

Will be good to hear Scott back where he belongs on drive - it's been just under 5 years!
Anyone planning on capturing this?

Pounds and ounces. 
And whilst we're at it, shillings, yards, and pints.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I have to agree with you guys. I don't mind amount of music during Scott's and Greg's shows but in the first part of the day it's just unbearable. Clara's show has no content at all and the worst thing it just does not sound good unlike Capital or other commercial rivals. And the breakfast show sounds tired. In fact, I think that drivetime show sounds better than the breakfast one which is a shame and a main issue Radio 1 keep losing listeners IMO.
On the other hand, I love weekend output. Dev's great so is Matt, Alice and Danny. 

Guess who's just bagged himself a Radio 1 mug and pen from NBH (and I think saw Ali Plumb wander past as well)? 
To clarify, I didn't just go to NBH to stalk Radio 1 DJs and buy obscenely expensive Radio 1 tat, I did have tickets to see a show being recorded (which I ultimately didn't. Oh well.).

Update: I just tried washing up the mug and the handle broke off in my hand. Ffs.

I've heard bits and pieces of it on Soundcloud and it sounded really fantastic, much better than most commercial radio breakfast shows. Obviously slightly tarnished by the fact that Stephanie was so desperately unhappy for the whole time she was doing it, but nonetheless I'd love to hear more. Does anybody have any recordings of it?

Will Manning just wished Ed Sheeran a happy birthday, and played that clip of the slightly rubbish happy birthday trumpet Scott plays. 

Grimmy's going to see the new Fifty Shades film with Alan Carr tonight.
A Radio 1 DJ going to see Fifty Shades of Grey with a much older and eccentric celebrity - what an original idea!

Oh god. Dan and Phil? Please.
