  1. Maybe could end up being right about Jack Saunders but personally would be wrong if they overlooked Jack Saunders for the time slot. I think may said this before if he was moved to daytime even if weekend would like to see him retain a specialist slot like Huw did during his tenure on weekend afternoons. I kind of feel if Sam & Danni join the station think Radio 1 should close the doors on co-hosts and double or triple acts for a bit at least until the number is diminished to a small few.
  2. It would be ridiculous to expect every gay person to like the same things like drag and musicals. But Britney the woman produces good pop! ?
  3. I think given the longevity of Scott’s career and those who left. Think Aled is trying to consider and the management which always is a hard tasks how for teen or tween who may decide to tune into Radio what they want to hear and who the voices they want to have for listeners to grow up with
  4. Wonder if Dean and Vicky would bring in any listeners in ways to create new listeners as some of Scott moves to Radio 2. Right with PDP and with the points of Friday Night Dance too. Yes think Dean can be but marmite and can be bit annoying. Really hope him and Vicky do good with it even with not my cup of tea. Do hope am proved wrong
  5. Think point of having mix of music and entertainment in the later slots of an evening is important. As much like Scott’s last words if bit low had bit of a shit day having a feel good distracting, something positive and uplifting something that can be interactive and bring the listener in whilst making relaxed whilst bit of a laugh. As it can be good time for injecting some comedy.
  6. I definately agree with thoughts on the nighttime slot as something post The Indie Show and The 8th is lacking when Huw Stephens did the late night show he was a voice could have on late night and listen probably would’ve liked Phil and Alice’s stuff. Think they need to go for more nieche genres and sub-genres of new and underground music between hours of 1AM-4AM again and maybe expand the Future line of show Future Beats, Future Bars, Future Bass, Future Fusion or whatever and the current future programming then. Slashing the Dance/Relax generic playlist programming that happens as through the night content. I kind of think that Benji B’s Chill Playlists, Get Set, Chill Mixes may work and fit but doesn’t need to be collated to a 24 hour on-demand stream same with Dance kind of feels like when Alex Lester and Janice Long got kicked off overnights as a year experiment had different playlists across Radio 2’s night schedule. So no presenter content for the ‘grave yard shifts’ until they hired OJ Borg. Think more presenter led and radio sounding content is needed in the night time. Think changes are needed aren’t that hard to resolve. Think it would be good to see better commissioning anyway
  7. Clara Amfo just doesn’t work on future sounds sometimes I feel she doesn’t have the conviction the confidence and the authority of the tone when you are on the mic in ways that specialist broadcasters of the show like Annie Macmanus and Zane Lowe even Huw when covered. Love to hear ones passion the full force behind the songs playing when do specialist programme. Future Soul firm favourite of what I like on Sounds. Hard slot to do for Danny’ think he probably does alright but not one bothered to choose to listen to. Power down playlist nightly from 10PM needs to be axed and scrapped. Dean never gelled and at point would tune into the station less.
  8. I’d say that final tap end and bombelao seemed like a nice wrap-up to a superb 24 years
  9. Will say it’s some of the best in times great to see how inside music is on its way back with Willow, beabadoobee, Steve Lacey, Nova Twins and Self ESTEEM
  10. With names like Matti Chaibi then Kerri Cosh, Jess Izsatt and Mo Ayoub doing specialist programming wonder if eith the volume of presenters apart of the Radio 1 family now with the volume of regular cover from several names. Much like with 6 Music having likes of Deb Grant, Huw Stephens and Nabihah Iqbal wonder if there is point of year maybe 2024 even another switch of night-time weekend and breakfast.
  11. I think it will be bit of both maybe drawing up new feature ideas and maybe involved with new celebrity bits. Though having four people on air unless Sonny Jay left the show would seem quite crammed. He could easily end up featuring on capital’s marketing campaigns but maybe producing podcast video and social media bits as Global seems to be focusing a lot on developing that important ‘Global Player’ brand
  12. Most certainly welcome! I’m sure they will be pleased to see what kind act of respect you done for them and how thoughout Scott Mills and Chris Starks career you always been supportive of them!
  13. He was much, much better with his drive time programming
  14. I did like hearing Jameela Jamie presenting it as it was the music of my teenage year she’d play. That is a quick run off the chart it feels it didn’t feel that long. Know Clara Amfo was the shortest run of the chart.
  15. Scott and Chris, before you become a whoooo! And this forum this listener becomes so bereft without the Scott and Chris show that we wrap ourselves in paper until you meet again. In life all good things come to an end. Thanks for the memories even if they weren’t so great (that isn’t true). I’ve listened to you over many years. To make you feel old that I wasn’t born when you started at Radio 1 but if I stuck at university I would’ve graduated this year. Been there daily for the listeners hard times and the goods, but I have to praise you, praise you like I should. After finding Radio 1 as I started comprehensive School made me laugh many times with the Lolathan and many more things. Best of luck to you Chris at Capital FM and presenting a sports podcast for Global. Then to Scott to Radio 2 getting the big show able to bring the G’s back to Radio 2 am sure that you will have a long and fulfilled career at 2 creating many more memories and showing listeners what you can do. I knew you weren’t to stay forever. But I have a feeling one day someway, somehow you both Scott and Chris will be back stronger (maybe on That Scott Mills Podcast) Love Ya Bye, Aaron Williams (They//Them) from Port Talbot, South Wales
  16. If anyone is interested to know Adele Roberts stands in for Jo Whiley on Radio 2 next week whilst Annie Macmanus hosts for Lauren Lavern on 6 Music at breakfast time next week.
  17. Response to @Jono Idea of a card my message to tribute Scott Mills and Chris Stark’s tenure at Radio 1 reads:

    For the hard times and the good, for the the greatest radio personalities I got to praise them like I should. For the laughter and the joy brought a smile to many of days soundtrack as comprehensive student then through to sixth form to early adulthood. A constant will be missed. Especially the ridiculously funny laugh out loud moments that no other radio presenters come close (well maybe Elis James and John Robins on 5 Live. But this isn’t about them’

    Thanks for the memories they were quite alright actually. Best of luck with the future retiring to Radio 2 Scott and Chris going global, you will be back sure I know.

    Love Ya Bye - Aaron Williams @aarjaewilliams (They/Them

  18. Not far off Mollie King’s new Future Pop show from launching and Rock Introducing it would be good to have that extra pop and addition to the future brand of shows
  19. Wonder if just that they may have contracted Vicky Hawksworth to start presenting so many hours from august even with show starting in September since she hasn’t had a regular Radio 1 show permanently and getting a daily daytime one could be warming audience. Plenty opportunities live on air co-hosting and presenting may help pilot if and get feedback from
  20. What moments as Scott departs from Radio 1 for 2 would you put in a top 40 chart of his greatest moments on air
  21. Could it be when BBC Radio 1 Relax Proms get its radio 1 airplay know its live on Sounds May listen in evening
  22. I do wish that the BBC had better way of accessing the archived content. As if outlets like this didn’t exist it would be good for old recordings of stuff were accessible to the public in archive as public service broadcaster type of thing
  23. Think possibility Matt Edmonson could end up doing the Afternoon weekend slot with Mollie have Arrielle or someone like James Cusack, Matty Chaibi or Rakeem Omar at weekends
  24. I think should have as an unwritten rule able to criticise presenters and dislike them but not get personal and coming up with conspiracy that isn’t even hearsay. We can all say we’d have or prefer a presenter to do one show or slot. But need to try to be nice about presenters. As we all know there’d be a time when that the station will May make some changes that seem to end a good era if something we like. But, Dean and Vicky could prove any nay sayer wrong. Also the line of box tick diversity exercise is lasy. As for many years young people who have talent as broadcasters whether people of colour, LGBTQIA+, disability haven’t been given the opportunities to do so. Think there’s more that can be done but think it is moving in the right direction
  25. Yes evidence of Greg James or Katie Thistleton disliking or hating on Dean McCullough is no more than conspiracy and fabricating reality. We don’t know what is says off air and off twitter. Lesson is don’t read into things that much
