By next weekend, she will have only done 1 of the last 6 weekend shows. She probably has other work commitments and might have holidays booked around now. Love how Scott always slags her off about it on Thursdays during Real or no Real. "So, do you still work at Radio 1?", "Are you turning up this weekend then?", "Oh the TWO days?!"  

Ready Steady Cook.... WHOOOOOOoooOOOOOooooOOOOoooOOO!

I reckon Scott would have been pissed that Grimmy got the breakfast show in 2012

WOW! She had a guest this morning!
Technically, Amfo and Mills have about the same slot: Both during work, both with a bit of lunchbreak, both with just a few people listening without working. Now look, what Clara does and what Mills does every day. I don't agree with those who say she's got a bad slot.

Did anyone hear that toe-curlingly awks clip from from Grimmy's show that Scott played?
It was a caller playing the celebrity gamble game who kept saying 'WHOOO" - and Grimmy didn't seem to like it. What's all that about? Is there tension between Scott and Grimmy?
I don't even bother listening to the Breakfast show anymore, I kind of think Grim is on the way out...

So nothing will change basically. The report says two extended bulletins with one in peak (i.e. the 5:45) so no need to make any drastic changes to the current schedule. Just a few corrections to the above timings- there's a 10pm which is 2 minutes and the 3:30 is 3 mins.

You can still often hear Scott referring to Chris as "my mate [Chris is here as well]".
I'd say that Chris is the exact R1 type of person and can't see him moving on with Scott, either to Radio 2 or any different station. But then again, he's also Scott's man. And I reckon Scott's said once that Chris's strongest feature is being loyal (I think it was The Best Friend Test with Dev).
Whatever they will have to do, let's just hope it won't happen for many more years.

It's inevitable that Scott will be there forever - one day he will go. Chris Stark is a legend and a credit to the show, although he was referred to "Scott's mate" in the early days, there's no way that he was let in when Scott went in for his show, BBC security is top notch and they wouldn't have just let him follow Scott through the building without a check of some sort. Chris has actually broadcasted on his own, it was unplanned and for half an hour when Scott was ill, and Huw Stephens was on his way on the tube but was getting held up. I remember the start of the show Chris was like "erm" and lost for words, but he handled it really well. I'm not sure what'll happen to him radio-wise if Scott ever left. I can't seeing him do his own shows, he is better at the documentaries he does for BBC Three and other general BBC fun stuff (like Mastermind).

Crikey, you've really analysed that well. When you say it's "exactly right to the minute", I agree with every daytime presenter except Grimmy. A countless number of times, he is late for the news at about 7:32, 8:03 and so on! He has a tendancy to start a track at 7:29! WHY?! 

And from a geeky perspective his news intros are spot on - right up to the vocal.

He does sound like he'd maybe fit better on Capital or Heart rather than Radio 1, but then it was his first show and I guess it takes a bit of time to adapt style. Surprised he was given such a prominent slot for his first appearance but hey ho - he does sound very slick and there's definitely potential there.
Saying that it's good to hear some new voices on Radio 1 daytime and not just someone that's transitioned over from 1Xtra.

What the...! He really sounds like a bad impression. Hope he will practice before the next time.

God he has an irritating voice. Sounds so forced and unnatural. Reminds me of when Chris Moyles does his wacky deejay impression. 

If anyone wants to hear some early Chris Stark appearances, the first I could find was the 8th June 2010 podcast when he thought Scott was going to be called up to play for England in the World Cup, and a very funny one on 29th June 2010 where he was talking about spending an entire month's wages on World Cup merchandise.

Im only started listen to scott since oct 2015 but i would be so sad to see him go. Im currenrly listen to the old podcasts from the beginning

I wonder if they would do to Greg what they did to Scott a few years ago, when Scott goes move him on to the 1 to 4 again and put one of the guys like Alice or Matt on drive with Chris? I however love Alice and Chris on the 1-4 when she has covered Scott - provided Scott didn't take the big show at R2 I would continue to listen to R1 with those two.
I would have to keep swapping my shifts for lates if Scott got a morning show on R2 - I also wonder if a commercial station will snap him up - Radio X could do the "go to work with Moyles and home with Mills" tag line from the early noughties R1 used to use

I think he's right. Not only that, most tracks sound similar to everything else now which makes it difficult for Radio 1.
Back in say 2005 Radio 1 could say play 3 songs in a row, Foo Fighters, Pendulum & Girls Aloud. Each song completely different to the other. You couldn't imagine that now, rock music doesn't seem to be doing very well. Dance is in a better state than the 2010 EDM Swedish House Mafia phase, but still is way off it's millenium peak. And pop is just dominated by Ed Sheeran.
Look at how the likes of Maroon 5 & Linkin Park have changed to try and fit in with the current sound. Even Paramore's new track sounds nothing like a Paramore song.

As unlikely as that is, I would absolutely LOVE that.

perhaps an hour long show every week at 9pm that sees the return of Tap End?

The good thing about Chris is he can literally slot into any show and still seem a good fit - whether that's with Greg James, Alice Levine, Matt Edmondson, etc.

HRH= His Royal Highness. They're referring to the Assistant Producer Tom Whiter because they think he looks a bit royal.

Luke is with the same agency as Grimmy
Intrestingly, Scott and Sara Cox are with the same agency - a different one to Luke and Grimmy and Greg James is with a totally different one, and Clara Amfo has her own site !

Is this person on 1 extra? I would have thought someone from 1 extra would come over, like Yasser has and Nick Bright seems to be Adeles cover
Would also love to see someone like Sara Cox or Zoe Ball do some cover on R1 weekends
Also Greg James must have some hols coming up as mentioned Dev on his show today as "the cover" and he has his own drive jingles
