Viv can man the phones.

I'd quite frankly be too scared to phone in. In a sort of Aled on Moyles style way, instead of Moyles shouting ALED and Al reading out what's coming up on R1, you can shout ALAN at some point in the show and Alan can give us a detailed preview of what's happening on Sunday's weekend breakfast show.

I predict they'll have made 2 or 3 "call in with your request" or "text in with your request" voiceovers, play them way too many times in the three hours, with it being back to back tracks with the occasional recorded off-air "HI I'M BECKY FROM PLACE AND I LOVVVVVVVVEEEEE [radio 1 playlist track] SO IF YOU COULD PLAY THAT THAT WOULD BE GREAT" going straight in to a track.

I prefer it without Reggie. The more music the better. This show has never been about the DJ.

The music I don't mind - the prerecord I do. This is daytime Radio 1 and I thought part of the idea was being able to make live requests, a bit of live interaction etc.

But aren't most of these shows pre-organised? I mean last Saturday they will have drawn up a playlist from the requests from the week before. I very much doubt it works any different - I don't honestly believe in a live show it works like that.

It would seem it was all sorted Thursday and Friday: http://twitter.com/jamesstant/status/16941294577

I would believe that, but why then are there regular "text in on 81199" requests during the request show? I don't doubt they start collating requests at show minus half an hour or so, and stop taking requests about 6.30, but still...

The show won't have worked much differently to normal, just without Reggie's links. I much prefer the show with a DJ, today felt like something was missing and was a bit flat to be honest.

Agreed completely, and this is my "beef". I can get playout-FM and "iPod" style radio on Heart or some other tinpot local station. That daytime shows are not done this way, is something that makes R1 different. Better.

I couldn't agree more. Under this government BBC Radio is being encouraged to provide Radio that the commercial sector doesn't. Having someone entertaining like Reggie at the helm keeps the show's individualism, today's formate could have been seen across any old radio station.

      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.

      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.
