    What did they do apart from emergency choice breakfast?

    Not just emergency breakfast cover, they were Grimmy's cover (and of course Scott were the main cover for Chris Moyles). Scott used to spend a fair amount of time off drivetime and afternoons as a result. He used to cover the chart on a Sunday for many years throughout his time on drive and afternoons

    Apparently Gary Davies is in for Zoe for 3 weeks from that date. He’ll have been on weekdays for 13 consecutive weeks by the end of that having done the mid-morning show up until that point too.

    Yes. He mentioned it the day Vernon's start day was announced. Zoe's filming a show for ITV. He also said he will still be the stand in on mid mornings. So the likelihood is that he'll probably do that and share breakfast cover with Nicki Chapman.

  4. Richie Anderson is in for Scott Mills on Tuesday 9th and Thursday 11th May. The show will be coming from Liverpool all week (BBC Radio Merseyside's studios I'd assume).

    He's also in for Scott on Monday 1st, 8th and 29th May (all bank holidays).

    Steve Wright is on 4-7pm on both bank holiday's (Monday 1st and 8th May). 

    Gaby Roslin is covering the 12-2pm slot on Monday 1st May with 'Songs that bring you joy'.

    Richie Anderson is also in for Dermot next week! Don’t think he’s covered that show before - hasn’t he just done Holiday specials and covered for Rylan? 

    The only cover he's done was for Sara Cox on drive when she was I'll (the day before Steve Wright stayed on till 6, and Adele Roberts who was sitting in for Jo started at 6). He once stepped in very last minute for Zoë Ball until Ken tool over at 08:30.

     

    His most recent show was on Christmas Eve, in Rylan's timeslot, but he's never officially covered Rylan (which surprises me to be fair).

    Will be interesting to hear how Gary Davies handles the slot tomorrow ~ Bearing in mind that, at this stage, Mark Goodier over on GHR is no competition at all ...

    On the subject of GHR and Mark Goodier, he's moving to mid mornings on the weekend. He'll also be the main cover for Ken.

    Nicki Chapman in for Claudia Winkleman next Saturday (25th February).

     

    Turned out to be Alex Jones instead.

    Anita Rani is in for Rylan on Saturday (4th March)

    The following Saturday is the C2C music festival, Bob Harris is live from there in Rylan's usual timeslot (3-6pm 11th March).

  9. Life Hacks on Sunday 5th March and Vick & Jordan's drivetime show the following week are listed as "Radio 1's Tour De Dance for Comic Relief". Interestingly, it appears Jordan is joing Vick and Katie on Sunday 5th as it lists the chart update "With Vick, Katie and Jordan".

    Rylan was apparently dropping hints about a secret announcement and not being on his Saturday Afternoon show anymore. People suspect that it means he might be Ken's replacement.

    Turns out he's doing a challenge for Comic Relief this year, hence the cryptic conversation with Sally. Anita Rani is in for him Saturday after next.

    I was going to mention this earlier as some Twitter users and posters on another forum seemed to pick up on this. I did hear it yesterday but I didn't think much of it at first. Listening back... The way Sally was talking, it was like it was her last traffic bulliten with him (she's off next week, but he's not on the following week and couldn't say why). I just interpreted it as they won't be on air together for a few weeks. 

    Who knows.. maybe there is something in it ?‍♂️

    I wonder if vernon may take over Rylans show on sat and he takes takes Ken’s show

    That just isn't happening. Both of them have lots of TV committments. Dermot, Claudia and Rylan work well on a Saturday... I don't see any benefit to moving any of them.

    Without going too much off topic... I did wonder when Vernon would be back on as it's been a while since he's covered. He did seem to fall out of favour for cover opportunities (I suppose that could be on his part and being unavailable) with Gary Davies doing the last few lots of breakfast cover, and the likes of Anita Rani and OJ Borg sitting in for Dermot and Rylan.
