Guardian Radio Reviewer calls him 'Johhny' - clearly someone who has taken no interest in him, over the years ...

I have great respect for the man ...
But Bob Harris is a great choice to take over Sounds Of The 70's (and Shaun Keavney is an interesting choice to take over the Rock Show!).

No further comments.

It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
Indeed - many of those same soothsayers were predicting the rise & rise of Jordon North on R1, too!
-
Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5). I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.

... but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.
Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.

Radio 1 generation meaning?? Today's 10-30 yr-olds?
I doubt it.
They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
-
It's got more of a Fri/ Sat feeling to it, for me. But there's nothing inherently wrong with the show.
-
Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ... This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.

Dannys stories are cringe, the talking points are cringe and the refs to real world things are cringe.
I notice on BBC Sounds that Matt & Mollie's 23/03/24 show (following Danny's) was titled, "A Short History Of Cringe".

Alan Freeman - 1989 - Saturday Rock Show.
Then branched out into Andy Kershaw, Johnnie Walker, John Peel, Tommy Vance, Bob Harris and many more.
My family always told me that I would "grow out of" all that noisy rubbish. It was therefore incomprehensible to me when Matthew Bannister set about culling most of the old guard, as that was proof-positive that some of us never grow out of it.

That would be the smartest solution.
-
Sudden departure of Graham Norton at weekends has led to my sudden departure from listening at weekends.
They're not even trying to replace it as a 'Main Attraction' slot, at this point.
Thank goodness for the imminent arrival of Romesh Ranganathan at R2!

Classic case of the whole being less than the sum of it's parts.
See also Simon Mayo + Jo Whiley.

Scott and Chris would never work on r2.
Scott Solo on R2 sounds all wrong to me - so it could hardly be worse. Each to his own, I know.

Much enjoyed Scott on R1 - But sounds all wrong on R2, especially in light of who he replaced.
-
Whisper it, but .. Scott still isn't an adequate replacement
-
Shocker. 69 is nothing, these days.

Forgive me if this has been answered already, elsewhere. Just something I'm curious about.
When they 'extend' the actual record into an 'instrumental section' (to talk over, afterwards), how is this done?
1/ With their own 'vocal-removing' technology?
2/ By getting cover bands to make something that will sound very similar?
3/ By receiving extra tracks from the record companies, for that purpose?
4/ By clipping instrumental parts from the record - or a 'B-Side'/ '12"' type alternate version of it??
Whatever the answer, I think there's an over-reliance on it - but that's a different topic!!

Maybe they don't all want to be GANG-Stas, after all.
