    Well, I'm also pro-school. The gong might have just been in the Music classroom, right? The thing is, it doesn't really narrow down the possibilities that much. 
    There's plenty of teachers that listen to R1 and they'd be up for it too.

    This could be something...
    I think it's the first time in a long while that I'm waiting for the songs to be played, because I'm so glued to the radio that I can't even go to the bathroom.

    This is so brilliant. Grimmy's now saying he's packed 6 T-Shirts for this. And they have sleeping bags with them.

    Something tells me there must be clues in some of the songs? Now I'm overthinking everything they're playing

    Maybe you can sense Greg's thoughts. Come on, use this connection now!

    okay but its a scary coincidence that I was watching back a clip from G In The Park where Greg plays hide and seek only a few hours ago

    Look at the twitter video that Greg posted - it's definitely indoors and somewhere clean/quite. My bet is on old BBC building and that's purely because I remember Greg doing a streak of challenges that could cause panic (touch a massive, hairy spider and sth like that).

    That's true, it was a great show that had an amazing run. There's always catch-up and the podcast. And if you really miss the old show, there's a few on www.radio1archive.blogspot.com and I'll keep adding more when I have time.

    I'm not good with changes and all these features that Greg's going to bring back this week just make me quite weepy.

    I love listening to R1 in the afternoons, both Scott and Greg make all the woes of the day disappear with their kindness and silliness. I know that Breakfast Show is massive and Greg deserves doing it, but at the same time, can't help but feeling quite sad. I won't be able to listen to Greg everyday, as I am now. And not having Chris Smith 'with the news' on with Greg isn't helping at all. So it's all really bittersweet for me.

    I didn't get a chance to listen to them yesterday, but even if they do - it's still very little. A massive shame, I've always liked listening to the comments in between songs. This year it's mostly music R1 plays everyday and 2-3 songs from artist's set.
    Also, there was no mash-up this year. I'm not sure if they ditched it last year or just now. Again, not a fan of that.

    Based on what I can work out from the descriptions on the schedules on the Radio 1 website, no, although this is partly guesswork.
    2008: Chris Moyles, not sure where
    2009: Scott, not sure where
    2010: Chris Moyles, live from Bangor
    2011: Chris Moyles, live from Cumbria
    2012: Chris Moyles, Hackney Weekend so in the studio as normal
    2013: Grimmy, live from Northern Ireland
    2014: Grimmy, not sure where
    2016: Grimmy, in the studio
    2017: Grimmy, probably live from Hull (because Adele and Clara were that day)
    Speaking of genre diversity, am I right in saying there was no In New Music We Trust/Where It Begins stage this year?
    And one more thing: is there a video anywhere of Scott and Chris doing live Bangers on stage? It was just mentioned on air.

    Aleks_ reacted to Lee E in Radio 1 Schedule Changes   
    I think that's because they covered for Grimmy at short notice with his production team, (sure they spoke to Fefe like Grimmy does as well) and Tina doing news, where as today, it will be Mark Lockett and team Mills producing as its "planned" Grimmy leave hence it's basically a Mills show but in the morning as opposed to afternoon, although this never used to happen in the Moyles days - if Moyles was off at short notice someone else used to cover and Mills only covered the "planned leave" wonder why that was ?

    Presumably it’s his normal team then rather than grimmys team.

    Nice piece in The Guardian adverting the teaching profession with Mills talking about his school days.
    https://www.theguardian.com/get-into-teaching/2018/apr/28/scott-mills-my-teacher-told-me-to-go-for-it
    It's a similar story to the one he tells in Love You, Bye and any talks he gives if you've gone to see him, but the angle is different because it's talking about the impacts of his teachers and the like.
