25th - 28th May

Really? Any link to this? Very interesting if true. Good move for me.

[Tyler1994]

Where did you see this?

[John]

This would be good, think Vernon has the right personality to fill in for Scott.

Am I right in thinking the last time was 2005 during the London bombings?

[John]

I can't remember to be honest, just remember that Scott was on breakfast when the bombings happened.

Yeah, Scott did Breakfast and then Drive because Vernon couldn't make it in. I remember Scott saying he'd 'slept on the futon upstairs' and reassuring people that Vernon was OK. Bizarre day

Don't remember that. Would be interesting to listen back to.

[Jono]

Confirmed - Vernon Kay will sit in for Scott Mills for a week following Radio 1's Big Weekend (Monday 24th May 2010). It's like 2005 all over again.

[Roy H]

Noooooo - this is the last thing I wanted to hear on a Monday morning!!!!!! :crying:

[Viv]

Oh God. I'll need to move to local radio now. How annoying

[Roy H]

Need to make sure I have a good selection of CDs in the car for my drive home - I cant stand the pressures of a maths question every day.........

[Viv]

I don't think he'll bring the maths stuff onto the Show somehow... seems he keeps that kind of drivel for the weekends only!! :-)

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Agree with Mr Roy and Ms Viv here, not really that regular a listener anyways, but this is one week I definitely won't be listening. Spotify here I come as tinpot local round here is shocking, the commercial ones are tripe that have the same music at the same time for all the different stations, and the BBC Local stations are mainly aimed at over 50s.

[Jono]

Spoony is on the week after.

[Viv]

If only Spooony could come back.. I'd actually love that. So miss his weekend slot. It was never the same after he went. :-(

[The Stig]

A big well done for me to Radio 1 on this one. Putting Greg on messes up the schedule too much, Dev isn't ready for this slot yet, Coxy is off so for me Vernon is by far the best possible option. I look forward to him bringing his unique humour and personality to my drive home!

[Jono]

Scissor Sisters are a Record of the Week too. It's properly 2005.

[Hammer]

When are JK and Joel back on?

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

When are JK and Joel back on?

Never. but I hear Smashie and Nicey are coming to the Chart Show soon.

[Guest PineapplesLikeAarons]

I don't mind Vernon too much. Will probably listen because I have nothing better to do!

[franzi]

Annalie is back...

Vernon will be okay, I've never heard him, but it will be a good occasion to form an opinion...

[Guest PineapplesLikeAarons]

Hahaa. I am...

I don't know why but Vernon is one of them DJs that I always end up listening to even if it's unintentional*!

*I can't spell.. *sigh* ):

[yorkieboy]

I can see why he's someone you either love or hate but personally I think he's the best DJ on the station with the exception of Moyles and the only person who'd be capable of replacing Moyles now (I hope it doesn't happen).

[John]

I would welcome JK and Joel back any day. Sorely missed. However, they are on a local-ish station to me!

[Roy H]

Last I heard they were on Key 103 in Manc, yeah?

[John]

They do the Breakfast show on Radio Aire.
