As they announced after six last night, Scott and the team are back at the Edinburgh festival this year. Find out on today's show what they'll be doing.

Thank you for making a thread on this subject, otherwise I wouldn't have found out.

When is Edinburgh Festival? Because I'm going to London, so I might even be able to come.

Scott's flatmate is appearing at the Fringe again this year, although the program says it starts at 00.20 for an hour.....

Edit: OMG.... that sounds totally AMEZZIN' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The TOTDS will probably just stand on stage for 30 minutes and not say anything...........

August 16th (madonna's birthday)

Well, there's the answer of what Scott can do at the fest... 30 minutes of answering questions about his life/career/whatever, and requests to perform Madonna songs!!

Sorted.

this is what @ThePleasance have tweeted today: "Our favourite DJ Scott Mills is in now filming for his challenge at the Festival this year. We are looking forward to having him back in Aug". www.twitter.com/ThePleasance

I was out all day yesterday so didn't hear any of this, what exactly is Scott and the rest of the team doing this year? If its a show I'm very much up for going or is it an OB with guests and features from people appearing in Edinburgh this year?

I actually can't wait for the festival, thank god I work in the mornings :D

BBC Radio 1 is returning to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe next month, with DJ Scott Mills facing his toughest challenge yet in front of an entertainment-hungry audience.

Following the huge success of last year's Scott Mills The Musical, which played to a full house over three nights and received rave reviews, this time Scott and his team, Beccy and "The One That Doesn't Speak", must write and perform their own one-man show.

One person, one performance. What they do will be up to them – music, comedy, dance, physical theatre, opera – but can any of them create a five-star success? Or will they be heckled from the stage?

Scott Mills said: "We had a great time broadcasting from Edinburgh last year so it's brilliant to have the chance to spend the week in Scotland and get involved with the Fringe again.

"After the musical I thought I'd never be as terrified again – but l am! What shall I do in my one-man show? What would you do? I have no idea!"

From 16-20 August, Scott's Radio 1 show (4-7pm) will be live from Edinburgh as the team each take it in turns to perform their one-man shows in the evenings.

Over the next few weeks, Scott and the team will be asking listeners for ideas and inspiration on how to entertain an audience on their own.

Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller, Radio 1, said: "Radio 1's presence at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2010 promises to be yet another ambitious creative project for the station, where Scott will entertain his audience on the radio, visually online and through the events at the Fringe."

This year, Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw will also be live from the Edinburgh Fringe and each night, when Scott and the team come off stage, they will go straight onto Nick's show (10pm-12midnight) to tell him how they got on.

Scott Mills The Musical was the surprise hit of last summer's festival, but can the team do it again – on their own?

You have to be kidding me.

I dont want to seem mean, but serious? Last year the musical was great and it had the novelty factor, but I'm not digging whatever this is meant to be this year.

But you don't seem to know what it is? :P

I definitely don't like the dates. It's in august, that's okay, but I'm flying home on 21 august, so can't travel to Edinburgh the day before => have to ask the language school for a day off during the week. They probably won't allow it :(

I like these dates. There is a very big possibility that I'm in Scotland at that time, and quite close to Edinburgh even. It's just perfect for me :)

    • Scott opened Thursday by immediately clocking the pace of the inbox, saying it was “one of those mornings where you can tell people have woken up ready to talk.” Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in studio, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we haven’t even warmed up yet and you’re all already in full voice.” The early links were light, with Scott narrating what was coming up and reminding listeners they were heading into “a proper Thursday show.” There were quick resets, music breathing space and familiar back-announcing, with Scott repeatedly acknowledging how fast messages were landing and half-laughing that “this is already a lot before seven.” Ellie noted that voice notes were stacking up unusually early, while Tina commented that people seemed keen to respond to each other as much as the programme. Motherhood chat, but not a phone-in The main theme emerged around motherhood and social media expectations, introduced by Scott reading a listener message about feeling like she was “constantly failing compared to what I see online.” Scott paused on it, saying “this comes up a lot, doesn’t it,” but was careful to keep the show moving rather than letting it settle into a single-issue phone-in. Ellie talked about how curated feeds distort reality, while Tina pointed out that “nobody posts the day where everything went wrong.” Scott reframed the discussion several times, reminding listeners that “you’re hearing highlights, not real life,” before deliberately breaking the run with music and a reset, saying they’d “come back to this — but not all at once.” Voice notes, relief and shared laughs As voice notes came in, the tone varied. Some were reflective, others lighter, with Scott reacting in the moment rather than letting each one sit heavily. When one mum admitted she didn’t enjoy every moment, Scott replied simply, “you’re allowed to feel like that,” before immediately moving on to the next message to stop it lingering. Ellie noted quietly that a lot of messages ended with apologies — “sorry if this sounds awful” — which Scott picked up on, saying, “you all keep apologising — you don’t need to.” He then undercut the intensity by joking that “this has turned into group therapy before 7am,” before laughing and playing a record. Listeners responded to each other as much as the show, which Scott acknowledged on air, saying it felt like “people talking to people rather than just talking to us,” while still steering the programme forward. Pause for Thought and breathing space Pause for Thought slotted neatly into the running order, continuing the theme without deepening it. The speaker focused on compassion, comparison and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Scott thanked them afterwards, saying it “fits with what people have been saying this morning,” and deliberately left a short pause before moving on. Ellie observed that the slot felt like “a natural breather” in the show, which Scott agreed with, before resetting the mood with music and lighter links. The handover Scott handed over to Vernon Kay by briefly outlining what the morning had been about. Vernon picked up on the listener response, saying it sounded like “one of those shows where people really got involved.” Scott agreed, replying that “they really did today,” and mentioned the volume of messages still waiting.
