This is now firmly set in Tina’s best bits. The whole 2026 segment was very funny, and this made it all the more memorable!

I need to put the kettle on and have a good read through this thread! what pisses me off now about R1 the most is that Scott and Chris are missing 😭😭

Nice bunch of weiners Neil!

Push ‘em along tony!

I'm loving reading through all of these, so many memorable moments. It's hard to put into words just how ingrained in my subconscious some of the things from the show are. Some songs will never be the same again - Scott's vocal coaching sessions with the likes of Rag n Bone Man with Giant, and Jason Derulo with Talk Dirty, my brain always puts Scott's coaching into those when they play the normal versions. And how to sing with vocal coach Felicia - Chandelier and Fairy Tale of New York will always sound like Chris' version of the songs.

How could I possibly forget What Day is Father's Day! "You're 90% there" is something that I say often, in a terrible Australian accent.

Ahh you're right, they could be stand alone features. I'm sure some of them could fit in to his current show. I used to love a round of Rapper or Accountant, and Race Horse or Racey Novel.

Ahh I was so sorry to see Producer Will leave, the show used to get into some hysterical chaos under his watch - notably for me, the day that the whole ‘Margaret Covid’ thing was happening in the news, she show had me in tears of laughter. Everybody got a shout out of their name + Covid as a surname during Bamboleo and Scott & Chris were losing it, brilliant fun day of radio. The Don’t Look it Up Quiz was a really fun feature too, lots of silly rounds that would make for laugh out loud radio.

Haha ‘forty of those’ is definitely one that’s stuck with me too. ‘Who loves Cher’ is a recent one that I can’t get out of my brain. And the Barryoke songs, especially when they brought it back, God is a Woman will always be God is a Barry to me now.

Such a great thread! For me, the Innuendo Bingo clips and the stuff they used to play during the Bamboleo gap, are burned into my brain. If someone mentions a right hand, my brain says ‘is very well exercised’. If someone says ‘but’, my brain says ‘he’s gay’. Such a silly one that’s stuck with me is a remix they did of a clip-up of Charlie Sloth saying ‘Birmingham’ and now I pronounce it the same way and have to sing the song, ‘Birmin-um, do do do do do’. Thanks to the Trapped in the Closet feature, the word ‘spatula’ must always be sung rather than said. And every time I hear Kesha, I wonder who boffed her.

I love Paddy on the weekend! Is this the first time he's covered a weekday show?

It's great to see Chris doing so well after going through this massive life changer. I love how honest he has been in speaking about it, and the message is a really powerful one that will hopefully bring a lot of awareness and I'm sure will help others massively. Hearing him talk about it on the Crouchy podcast was brilliant too - they have a huge audience and it must have been really daunting to put himself in the spotlight on such a sensitive and personal experience. He really is a top bloke, I'm so glad it was caught early and he can spread the word now.

I think Ellie has definitely proven to be been a great fit. The story of her finding a flat and Roger the cat was a real ice breaker for the feel of the show as a whole I think. Add to that Scott giving Ellie his ticket to the Brits and the stories that came from it, I really think she adds value. Not only is the rapport between her and Scott already brilliant, but she also comes across as a funny, down to earth presenter in her own right. I think she's fab and will only continue to get better as the show progresses. I would initially have agreed with the thought that she could be a co-presenter, and I suppose her prominence in the show is such that she could be seen as that, seemlessly. However, for me the show is a bit too guest-heavy for a co-presenter. That's probably just the nature of having such a high-profile show, I think it might feel like too many voices to try to get a fairly short (and sincere) interview in with a huge star. Back in the days of R1 when they could play fun games with the guests then yes, but I get the impression that Scott needs to go for serious and genuine with most of the ones he has had so far. I mostly prefer the bits of radio without guests - that goes for all radio shows, not just Scott's. The 6.30-8am where it's just Scott, Ellie, and Tina, are my favourite bits of the show for sure. Which is a long winded way of me saying that Ellie was a great choice 😄

@Opalmoon I couldn't agree with you more. Scott and Chris made genuine magic happen on the radio and I'm starting to think that nothing will ever equal that era. I often listen back to the old podcasts, and I think you've hit the nail on the head when you say they were effortlessly funny together. They could make the most simple of things laugh-out-loud funny, and it must have been because they were real friends who just used to make each other laugh, which in turn made brilliant radio. They have both gone on to do such big things apart, probably more than if they had carried on together at Radio 1, and I'm really pleased for them both. I don't think you're stuck in the mud (if you are then I am too) - a Scott and Chris podcast would be a dream come true. I'm not sure it could even be a thing while they are both working at different stations, but I hope they can make it work one day. With Beccy producing, that would be the icing on the cake! I would love for Scott to be a guest on Chris & Tom Kerridge's podcast, if nothing else. Who knows, maybe one day Chris will find himself back at the BBC on 5Live and we'd have more chance of having them back working together then.

I finally got around to watching the live tour recording online. Very funny watch. For those that were wondering, there was barely a mention of R1, so if anything was said it was either on other nights or edited out of this one. It’s two hours long, so not sure how that compares to the actual live show or how much could/would have been edited. Would definitely recommend it for fans of the podcast though. The guinness joke is included - and I personally don’t think it’s as shocking as they’ve been teasing. But that’s probably the point.
