Computer

Recommended Posts

Not sure if I can cope with Zane first thing. Mind you, I probably wont surface till after 10 anyway............ ;)

ahh so you'll be waking up with Fearne and next door's ginger pussy?

which I mean she's obviously bound to talk about... :P

(or is someone also covering for her on Friday?)

Zane and Matt Smith absolutely nailed it.

And not a playlist in site!

I expect Zane to be the next R1 breakfast host when Moyles finally goes and a bloody good one at that.

Can't really see him going from his evening slot straight to Breakfast though... and he wouldn't really fit into a regular daytime slot.

I really don't as Zane doesn't like playing the playlist and has other things to do. Plus he's off for about a month every year and with Zane and Scott competing for amount of days off sick, the breakfast and Drivetime hosts would be off an awful lot together.

I really enjoyed the show this morning, but I think it should be a once in a blue moon thing. However, Zane is very witty and very funny. If he didn't mind going mainstream, I think he'd do a very successful show. I wonder whether Zane would want to though.

he's not doing a linkup with Jake Humphrey for Grand Prix coverage like Moyles usually does the Friday before a race this year... gutted.

Yeah kinda missed it... Don't see why Zane couldn't of done one, maybe it would of lacked the convo and laughs ?

Maybe Zane just ain't interested in F1, Moyles seems to have actually become a fan... (hopefully NOT one of those Gloryhunter Lewis Hamilton fans)

Zane is a small part of the F1 coverage on the BBC he has voiced over some introduction packages to the tracks so even if he is not a F1 fan it would have been nice to see him chat to Jake

Zane's show was just music then Matt Smith chat leading to the versus. Would have seemed a bit out of place to cut away for some F1 chat.

Anyway, I thought the show was excellent regardless. Really refreshing.

This is the difference between Moyles and Zane, Moyles has to interview all kinds of people and has to sound reasonably interested, whilst Zane is 100% music, obviously it was a one off show so he could have done it given he is a tiny part of the coverage but it's the reason he will never be a daytime DJ, can you imagine him interviewing Lewis Hamilton, Holly Willoughby, Louis Spence, Jason Manford, Jamie Oliver etc. and playing quiz shows like carpark catchprase and OWO and talking about what was on TV last night....which is mainly what you have to do to be on breakfast (or drive).

As for his holiday doesn't he has a month off every year which is less than Moyles albeit because he only works half as much as him.

About the show....Listened to bits of it on iplayer it was a great show, you got to respect what he's doing:)

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
