Great week for Mills

I have to say, when Chappers left I didn't think the show would ever be as good. But once again I was proved wrong, just as I was after Laura left. This week was so entertaining, the podcasts were brilliant. The show is back to it's best :D The highlight was definitely the Scouting for Girls interview!

Any else agree?

Scott doesn't need a load of people in his show (like Chris Moyles..), he is great in his own! Though I do like Beccy and sorta miss Chappers. I never knew Laura, though they still talk about her.

They aren't dissing Scott. i still listen to him when he's on his own but i think he's more entertaining when he's got a regular team member with him so that he has someone to share banter with.:)

Ah, that's a better way of putting it ;)

I suppose it's hard to be on your own on air when you've had people with you for so long, it must feel a bit odd. I did think I would miss Chappers more but really like Becky and Scott together.

I suppose XD

Yeahh, they're great ;) When did Chappers actually leave?

I dunno, a few weeks ago I was listening when Beccy was off and Scott sounded sorta lost or something on his own, having to get other DJs to come in and do guest appearances on stuff like OWO. For me the Laura and Chappers Era will be hard to top.

yeah i agree, the chappers and laura years were when the show was, for me, at its peak. its still good, but nowhere near as good as it was

Flash Flash!

I think Scott has been brilliant this week. I agree with the original thread creator. The guests have been of good calibre, there's been more of a 'Moyles' feel with the exit jingles and the Wonder Years, PR4L has been back on every day, David and Tulip have provided to the chat, and the podcasts have been prompt online too with plenty of content. Scott sounds very organised with what he's talking about too. It seems as if they've made a real effort.

I think it can sound awkward when Becky's not there, but at the same time he doesn't need to have loads of people like Moyles. Chappers brought something to the show but you have to move on and they've done that, listening to him now on 5live and watch him on late kick off...much better radio DJ if you ask me.

    • I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.
    • Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky between the 28th-30th May.
    • I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?
    • Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.
    • Zoe Ball is back on the breakfast show on Monday.
    • Just listening to matt and mollie at work and heard them say it's their second to last show on weekends
    • And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury 
    • When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.
    • Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
    • I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury
    • I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
