Nat joins Dean on Monday 14th, Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th & Thursday 17th August.
Maia sits in for Mollie on Thursday 17th August.
Radio 1 Relax with Arielle Free on Wednesday 16th August.

Arielle is in for Charlie Hedges on Saturday 12th August, and Rene LaVice is in for Charlie Tee.

Station is actually filled with good looking presenters when you think about it.  Hard to think of any presenter that wouldn't tick boxes for somebody!

Well as a bisexual i have to chose two lol.
Sarah Story
Danny Howard

This just reminded me of the time a caller said 'I've reached the point of lockdown where I'm starting to fancy Chris' and I was completely in agreement with her! ?
But Chris isn't there anymore... so it's Greg for me.
 

Annie Nightingale. Looks a good 83!

Just a bit of fun!

One of the best titles of a thread I've ever seen! ?

100% my fave so far closely followed by Greg and Grimshaw hide n seek

This has been one of my favourite types of Summer games so far. As mentioned above, it’s quite relaxed, and nice to hear so many different presenters involved and interacting in different ways.
I appreciate that something like this has to be co-ordinated and therefore ‘staged’ to a certain extent, but it feels a lot less contrived than some of the previous years events. Just seems like a fairly wholesome bit of chaos for everyone to engage with so far, which has been fun I think.

I think it has been a better game to the past few years after the first one it feels a bit more relaxed, simplified and haven’t over complicated things. As always with these things it seems very orchestrated and easy to see that the production team has thought of what goes where. What it can be said that unlike previous editions of a summer game it has been more calculated marketing that considers the whole stations brand of featuring presenters of all its programming and reminds people of the good specialist programme the station has off-peak times.

So, timeline so far:
No one has came to the studio, except Greg, and he has been handed a printer paper saying "Keep the tunes coming!"

Her absence is her main contribution towards the improvement of the show.

James Cusack is in for Nat this Sun, not Sam and Danni as previously stated 

I’d consider trying Nat O’Leary in the early morning slot in a temporary before a future move.
Assuming when referencing Future Artists may mean sounds I’d possibly consider in the long term commissioning some more ambitious programmes and projects but in the meantime would have.
Radio 1 Future Sounds as 18:00-21:00 extending it to blend mix of the future sounds and his future artists programmes in a mix and trying to focus it on the music that mostly came out of the last month and at stretch last 3 months. Maybe bring back the Radio 1 Review show in it to be go in-depth looking at other albums and EPs out that week. Focus on providing some extended interviews and feature live sessions and mixes. 
Have Arrielle Free do 21:00-23:00 with still focus on playing new music and her choices and curations of her favourite new music and something that could have a dance and electronic influence and having mix of regular co-hosts from the world of comedians to media personalities that fit the stations audience like tv people and such and having mix of entertainment bits.
I’d scrap the power down playlist but have at 23:00-00:00 have
Mon - Lifehacks Late 
Tue - Radio 1 Interviews 
Wed - Artist In Residence 
Thur - Radio 1 Residency
00:00-02:00/02:00-04:00 mix of the stations other specialist music programming. Including airing programmes from Casskid, Sir Spyro from 1Xtra in that slot.
 

Clara like the rest of the DJ’s are free lance so they get paid a contract to do a number of shows. If she doesn’t do them she doesn’t get paid. 

I would think 7.30-8 is quite popular, but it definetly isn't like 8-8.30
My predictions for highest listening figures:
EB: 6-6.30am
B: 8-8.30am
RM&C: 12-12.30pm
D&V: 3-3.30pm
V&J: 5-5.30pm
WEEKEND:
WB: 9-9.30am
KT: 11.30am-12pm
M&M: 2-2.30pm
DA: 4-4.30pm

Some good suggestions in the summer schedule. Does anyone know listening figures until 7.30? For adult stations it’s considered prime time, but maybe R1’s target audience wakes up later? 
 
Let’s leave it like this forever:
5-7 Somone new (James Cusack?)
7-10.30 Greg
10.30-12.45 RMC
13-15.30 Dean & Vicky
15.30-17.45 Vick & Jordan
18-20 Jack
20-22 Arielle

I do think it will be something that the stations controllers be testing out and seeing if it could work. But always thought having some of the weekend presenters or some of the stations bench presenters to cover shows in the summer would be good. I do think that even though if there isn’t major changes come September but having a break or seasonal programming could lead to fresh ideas and re-energised producers and presenters if the usual formats and presenters are taking a short rest. Would hope next summer they get more creative especially in the evening programmes

Not sure a small lay  in would help more than 2 weeks off 

I do hope that Jack Saunders would work well full time in that slot and would like to see the more hype and some energy to that time slot I’d think he would be able to lean in to lesser mainstream and have a varied playlist. But by then I’d like to see a bit of a re-think and re-imagined Future Sounds brand would like to have included Future Global, Future Groove, Future Beats, to Bars and would like to see.
One thing in any change to what the BBC does with its programming is to have a clear brand station name for interest as said before BBC Sports Sounds, BBC News Sounds, BBC Future Sounds, Forever Sounds…
But back to reality and not my niche fantasy that is marmite if Jack Saunders got Future Sounds would like to see this era have any session as labelled as a Live Lounge so could be recorded from in the BBC building and can do in the room interviews and try to focus on BBC Radio 1 Interviews offering and maybe doing a renamed spin of the midnight drop with free tracks that dropped that day or first plays from the show. I would like to see some minor tweaks to the format and maybe some lessons to how New Music Fix Daily is going and bring his confident and entertaining personality,

Is this the new schedule then?
5am - Sam & Danni
7.30am - Greg James
11am - Rickie, Melvin & Charlie
1pm - Dean & Vicky
3pm - Anthems with Dean & Vicky
3.30pm - Vick & Jordan
6pm - Jack Saunders
8pm - Arielle Free

Yep could not agree more it is over 20 years now since i started listening to Radio 1 because of my obsession with the Chart. I still really enjoy it. But when you think you have got rid of the Harry Styles track and it comes right back into the top 10.

I think it is defiantly has become integral to the brand and what you associate of radio 1 to document the weekly music trends and popular music and tracks. But with tracks sticking in weeks and months in the charts with little change have it being new number one every other week and bit easy and more competitive environment to getting into the top of the chart these days would make it interesting.
If there was bit more difference and change it would be more of a listen but think its not Radio 1 to blame but the chart doesn’t feel surprising or exciting. 

Well that makes a lot of sense about who you are!
