Last night's R1 stuff was outstanding.... I noticed the first of the programme's had actually been written by Moyles!! Fascinating to go through the different time periods. I understand more now how R1 became involved with the Ibiza stuff, etc.

Get Mike Smith: how he has AGED. OMG. OMG.

10/10

Its was good. I very much enjoyed the Moyles documentary and the Smashy and Nicey documentary was hilarious. First broadcast in 1994 apparently. I wasn't sure about the other stuff though. It wasn't as if BBC 2 put much effort into it. They showed a 23 year old Wogan show which was average at best - though nice to see John Peel. And the Radio 1 story was very outdated. They over-dramatised the Blood On The Carpet show. Almost as if they wanted to hammer home a subject we already know about.

I enjoyed the drama.... Didn't see that much of it though, because it was already past my bedtime. Boo :-(

Oh, BTW, one comment I do have to make is: I liked the rule of the past about DJs not being able to name-drop, etc., etc., and wish this applied to today's (2010) radio.... sometimes when I see all the name-dropping on twitter, it reads as incredibly fake, and is extremely annoying.

Just a small point.

Mike Smith actually had a near fatal Hammond style helicopter crash a few years back, and I noticed that after that he really seemed to age, and change, as has Hammond imo. Inevitable after a near death experience I suppose.

We only watched the first two documentaries. Found them really interesting. I was impressed to see that Moyles wrote his programme. Will catch up on the rest tonight.

Yep, that majorily impressed me that Moyles wrote it himself. Fantastico.

I didn't actually know that Mike Smith had been in such a bad helicopter crash

:-(

I thought it an interesting change of career too: I mean, to go from R1 to helicopters.

Mike also clearly didn't approve of Moyles' presenting style, because he often talks to a group around him and to himself, rather than engaging with the audience. I would tend to agree with this: more listener interactivity would be good.

nice to see Mike Read again and the old R1 roadshows. I remember winding up at one of those (from a distance) purely by accident in Wales a long time ago. Went there with my Welsh ex-fiance (bastard), and R1 were on the road that day!!

To see them all ageing made me kind of think what Scott, Moyles, Coxy, etc. will look like 10 years from now. Will they hold up well, or look like ageing decrepit statues.

Well doesn't Moyles already have greys etc?

I wonder if ageing is why Scott no longer seems to be orange (at least he didn't look it on the Family Guy Top 20 Characters thing that was on over the weekend), fake tan would show up the wrinkles too much?

Well, yes, but his face is still relatively youthful, and he's lost a lot of weight, which has done wonders, I think, for his appearance.

I think Scott has BOTOX (whispers this), so wrinkles are dubious (for the moment anyway).

BTW, I was reading in one of my women's magazines yesterday that if Jordan has any more botox, her entire face is gonna collapse.

How scary is that. :-)

Chris Moyles proved he should stick to radio after his documentary on Radio 1 DJ’s performed poorly for BBC2 last night.

When Moyles Met the Radio 1 Breakfast DJs, which formed part of a night devoted to BBC radio, was watched by an average audience of 1.72m (7%) across the 9pm hour last night. This was nearly 700,000 viewers below the slot average of 2.4m (9.17%), according to figures from Attentional.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      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.

      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.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
