Hmmm. Interesting, indeed.

I'm not sure what I'm thinking. It's a little strange, perhaps.

A lot of the "News" content is very similar to here, and the only "Videocast" is an old Pizza Prank Call.

Why does it need to say "advert space" around every ad? It's blatantly an ad! The contact page looks messy, and the "www.wisebuddah.com/talent" link doesn't work.

The guest gallery is just everything from the Radio 1 site, and the only thing of much use is the "Gig Guide".

That's my take on it anyway.

Ohai.

What's wrong with Unoffical Mills? There basically the same thing!

If we had become official you'd have found we'd have lost a lot of stuff. The forums would be watered down, it would probably been more likely to be seen as advertising on-air and stuff like the clips might raise a few eyebrows over legality.

Yeees, that's because I'm writing it. For now it was just a bit of a carbon copy for the first day so we could test things.

I'll ask to change it to Edith :)

I don't like it... :-( It's too overwhelming in some way.

Actually, I think I know what IS bothering me.... and it's the "Too Much Information" thing. I mean, in the past, I just needed to look at UM for info., then Scott got into twitter - it's actually astonished me he managed to keep it up - so you got info. from that, which actually turned out to be fine.

Now, there's this: I see you may sign up for newsletters from the new Site, which I have done.

But it's just too much information coming in from all sides... UM, Twitter, and the New Site.

And, you know what, I'll probably look at UM anyway, and not really bother with the new stuff. Just a thought.

I fear my brain may not be able to deal with this. :-(

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

It must be a sign! Good luck hope you pass ! XX

PS Did you reference the influence of Calagari on the director James Whale and his classic 30's Frankenstein?

Thank you! No we looked at it but in the exam I opted for referencing FW Murnau's Nosferatu and its influences on Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands in creating mise en scene, particularly Edwards Castle and the real / nightmare would divide. I thought I'd rambled on about Calaghari enough!

And before anyone says this is not off topic it's merely slightly straying from the previous topic of conversation of educational purposes!

just don't go to the new site then if you think all the info is on here as well.

I like the look of it and wish Jono the best of luck with the project, but I hope it carries a link to UM, and hope it doesn't prevent UM from attracting newbies. I personally don't see myself using it that often providing the archives are continued and still regularly updated.

Hi Tyler

You’ve won a Glee signed album from scottmillsofficial

Nice!

Can you email me your address so we can get it sent out.

Would appreciate if you could tell me where in UK you are so we can put on Scott’s site

Best Wishes, Steve

Is this a real e-mail from the site? Please Help Jono

Who Is She?! Who Is She?! Where Did You Find Her?!

It seems a bit OTT with all the stuff on it. It also seems to take a while to load (that might be because I've got loads of stuff going on in the background though) or maybe its due to all the pictures.

It seems to lack purpose but maybe thats because its using BBC and UM content at the moment and it will grow into a niche with time.

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
