Agreed! Like Alice to me, nothing to say, acts like a four year old, really boring and with the charisma and charm of a butternut squash. 

I think despite the more music to talk ratio, the presenter perhaps should still aim to be engaging in their short links, even if they are short.

Simon Mayo bought plenty of personality there before Jo Whiley took it on full time in 2001. Maybe restrictions were different then, but he just came across as the friendly bloke next door type of thing. I think that's why he's got such an esteemed timeslot on Radio 2 these days.

When Adele sat in, she played the wakey-wakey game and stuff. You don't have to get some minute long features on, like Innuendo Bingo, but at least something apart from playing music to stick out.

I agree with you there, the 10-1 slot is the time needing interaction the least, however what puts Radio 1 above everyone else is that there is personality and DJs are allowed to express themselves a bit more. So while Clara is fulfilling the brief for her show, it is turning a bit into a commercial station show with short links and just talking about the music. 
Alice brought personality and extended interaction but if she could still fit the brief of new music etc then she would be a good replacement for Clara. I don't think Clara can mix enough personality with generic radio to the extent Radio 1 are looking for.

The easy way to ALWAYS know:
Normal: "It's 2:30 on BBC Radio 1, let's get the news with Chris Smith"
Pre-record: "It's 2:30 on BBC Radio 1, and it's time for the news with the Newsbeat team"
They never ever say the newsreader's name. Also the bulletin will be two minutes long to the second.

The one with Napoleon the parrot (March 4th 2009) is a classic

Here's a potentially interesting thread:
Have you ever tried to get any of your friends into the show (or any R1 show)?
If so, what podcast episode would you give to someone to start them off - one that really demonstrates what the Scott Mills show is about. 
I can't say I've ever tried -my friends have most likely never heard of Scott Mills and I think it's probably a bit lowbrow for them haha. But what about you lot?

I think it was about 15:40. Merry Christmas fellow geeks!

Plus he's not introducing the newsreaders by name - that's a dead giveaway. 
Enjoying the show so far - I pissed myself when they opened door 24 of the whovent calendar and played Chris Moyles' old closing jingle. Pure class. 

They actually did produce Mills imaging! Sounds good.

I still stand by the fact that the show sounded pretty fresh and fun in 2012 and 2013, but since Fincham's departure, I feel it's gone on a downward trajectory. 
However, saying that, Moyles' Radio X show is really quite poor. The "half hour chat" is full of pauses, erms and boring bits. It's also always very Chris-centric. I listened this morning and in fairness it's the first time I've properly laughed twice at the radio in ages, but it just all sounded a bit unnecessarily drawn out. And naff imaging. Everything feels redundant. 

I think it says something is seriously wrong when the one guy on this site that defends Grimshaw has given up on him!

It's a great idea for a show and will be perfect on Christmas Eve. They were talking about it today and there was a bit of a pause when Scott said "we'll be here on Christmas Eve" which made me think it'll be pre-recorded but I don't know. I imagine they'll do maybe 2/3 callers, 1 Radio 1/1Xtra DJ and maybe a celebrity per hour doing the traditional format of choosing between two songs and then the rest of each hour will be just Christmas songs, some straight-up bangers from a few years ago and maybe Scott and Chris' favourite bangers from the year. 
I can't imagine them doing 6 hours of live radio on Christmas Eve but if the news has to be introduced live etc, then they might. Or maybe 1-4 live and then 4-7 pre-recorded or something.

4th January - Normal Schedule apart from Dev - 16:00

Thanks to the power of Iplayer I've gone back through the years to look at who had what live shows on Christmas Day since 2007. Sadly its impossible to just see a schedule, you've gotta search by DJ, but here's what I've figured: (links provided to programme pages which include the music played)
2007 - Breakfast with Greg 6-10
2008 - Breakfast with Scott 7-10 / 10-1 with Greg
2009 - Breakfast with Greg 6-10
2010 - Breakfast with Greg 7-10 (this was a Saturday - still had a weekday presenter)
2011 - Breakfast with Greg 7-10 (was a Sunday) / Official Chart with Reggie
2012 - Breakfast with Greg 6-10 / Fearne Cotton 10-1 (may have been a pre record) / Scott Mills 1-4
2013 - Adele 4-6:30 / Breakfast with Scott 6:30-10 / Huw Stephens 10-1
2014 - Gemma 4-6:30 (probably a pre record) / Scott 6:30-10 /  Fearne 10-1 (probably pre record) / Huw Stephens 1-4 
2015 - Adele 4-6:30 (pre record) / Breakfast with Scott 6:30-10 / Official Chart with Greg 10-1
2016 - Dev 6-10
Kind of demonstrates how little live content there is this year compared to previous years actually...

I love how I predicted almost all of it wrong. Hahaha. Looking forward to Ali Plums movie stuff. Not much Alice then?
