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.

This is so great so far. Scottport, the choir, the new show song! It’s the perfect chaos, and Scott sounds like he’s having fun too, he sounds right at home.

Loved the version of Rock DJ, great choice!

Merry Scott Breakfast Show Day all - the day is finally here! Robbie Williams on the phone! This is a really fun listen so far.

I would never have guessed his last song on Radio 1, and I thought that was spot on. So, whatever the first one is on breakfast I’m guessing it’s going to be fitting. I’m really looking forward to it!

Let me Entertain you is a good shout. I can't really think what he would go for. Maybe Defying Gravity? That's fairly old and has been in the cinema recently. Although maybe not up-beat enough.

Great news for Chappers, really deserved too

Really lovely chat between Scott & Fearne on Happy Place this week, sounds like it may have been recorded before the breakfast announcement was made though

It really is - I wonder if they will do anything special for it All being well in work I should be able to listen live this afternoon

Also can’t believe it’s Scott’s last afternoon show tomorrow. Really going to miss having him on for the rest of this year

Oh wow!!! This is fantastic news for Scott 🥳🥳 wayyy to much choice at breakfast now - but hopefully this will see a return to s Scott podcast in some form, preferably daily! I fear I’m going to have to break up with Greg in January…. This is huge!

Love Dear Fearne, such a great feature and very Laura’s Diary-esque. And so nice to hear them both together.
