Highlights of the Scott Mills drivetime show on BBC Three

I really thought that Jack Saunders would take over – but Clara is a great choice too. I love Clara, I'm just sad she's leaving mid-mornings!

Oh do you reckon? I've always thought the opposite!

I am about to sound around 80 years old, but over the past few weeks whenever I have switched on Radio 1 it has been Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift playing, I'm convinced of it

I don't do Reddit so I could be wrong but… Can't you just look on Reddit and see?

It's not that – it's that it's a HUGE amount of work, and with no way of knowing if/when the situation will change, you can't plan it properly.

That wouldn't be a reason for the announcement to be delayed. Such a move would have been decided ages and ages ago.

Never really understood the idea that the chart is a great show to be the regular host of. Yes, it's a prominent role and has heritage but equally it's such a tight format that there's not much scope for doing anything with it.

It's obviously a glitch on the schedule, nothing more.

I have a feeling that it's deliberately a different strategy – a quick 5-10 second thing to keep it in your mind rather than an all-out trailer.

I thought Scarlett Moffatt was hosting with Matt in April. An Instagram post from him says it will be Example instead.

There's a lot of discussion on here about the length of the Scott Mills Daily podcasts, but there's one aspect I certainly wish they'd cut. It annoys me when Scott trails ahead to something that is literally the other side of a jingle. Fine on the radio, of course, but if I'm listening to the podcast I'm almost certainly going to hear the whole thing – no need to keep me listening. So please, don't leave in a link that says 'bangers coming up at 2.40', followed by a jingle, followed by bangers. Literally. No. Point. By all means leave the link in if something interesting happens, but the podcast audience is slightly different.

Unless I missed one, I was flicking through the iTunes podcast chart the other night and noticed that no R1 podcasts feature in the top 100.

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.

There is absolutely no chance of this happening.

I don't wish to rain on your parade, but you could potentially get this website and yourself in trouble for distributing full length commercial music tracks online free of charge. Given that there's very little change taking place on the files here, it might be wise to desist.

Urm

Ah, now it does need an apostrophe. Use an apostrophe whenever you mean 'it is', and don't when you don't. Unless, of course, you're joking.

Ah ha... that makes sense! Thank you!

Having just listened to both again I'm pretty confident it is indeed the main theme.

You really don't think it sounds alike?

Am I right in thinking that the previous breakfast show theme was used for the gym grunt game played on the Scott Mills show recently?
