Um Fearne covering for Vernon or Sara and taking Chart/Request show off, was that not because she was covering for another weekend show though? Are you seriously suggesting by extension that say when Scott covers for Moyles, he also does his regular afternoon show too?

What did they say??

Sorry, just noticed this: Scott was basically getting dressed up in a policeman's uniform, off of the Bill. The place went quite quiet, then some random shouted out "YOU LOOK LIKE A STRIPPER" - nobody laughed. Then Scott did go on to do a strip however.

it was just a bit stupid shouting out in the middle of a one-man show, that was all. We were all eagerly waiting to see what would happen next, then some idiot starts shouting from the audience.

What a d- WHAT? He stripped????

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

That's not at all what I meant... I know that she doesn't deserve the hate, but if she wasnt so bad it would help her.

This Made Me Laugh :)

But seriously on the topic of Fearne I totally agree with what KAT said..

Also if the four daytime slots are meant to be for your four best daytime presenters (so not including your Zane Lowes, Giles Petersons etc) then in my opinion she isn't in the top four. Scott-Yes, Chris (i'm not a fan but I can appreciate his merits)- Yes and Greg, In my opinion Yes but Fearne?

I prefer- Jo Whiley, the fantastic Sara Cox & if they were to transit into daytime, Huw, Grimmy & Annie Mac, I even prefer Nihal.

However she does have a genuine love for music which comes through in her show but I don't think as a dj she is natural, when Sara Cox covered the show was in a different league. But on the telly she is very good and on 'Must Be The Music' I like her and she doesn't even come across as patronsing like a lot of reality tv shows.

she does on the radio though sometimes... I heard her today, when they were doing the control the cornish fairy thing. The feature was a good parody, and they did well, off mic i found i like her a lot more... she seems a LOT more friendly, less patronising... etc.

Do I sense another Gilles Peterson fan? :D

I was more refering to her initial ambitions, it seems she is far more concerned with television etc and sees radio as a back up in a way, not that it matters that she began in tv its just even now when she has a major radio one slot she does still seem to prioritise her tv work.

I Totally Agree in the last 6 months she's missed six full weeks- thats a week a month, across the same period Dev has missed 0 weeks, speaks for itself really

Only Vernon can come close in terms of taking holiday

      Summer on Radio 1

      By Marcus17 · Posted

      Right so prediction time. I think “Summer on Radio 1” which is on the schedule for Friday to Sunday 1-4 from June sticks around longer than the other changes in July. I think that lasts until September which is when we get the new weekend afternoon show. I think they’ll want to give Danny longer on air to see if they improve. I can’t see that happening, so my guess is in September they move Sam & Danni to weekend afternoons (at that point they’ll have been on weekend breakfast for a full year), and they bring James Cusack in to do weekend breakfast.

      Danny Beard on weekend afternoons

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      If Aled decides to give Danny a full time role, even as part of a duo / trio, it'll be the most disappointing decision of his tenure. The fact Danny is still on air and hasn't been quietly moved on 'due to a change in plan' is bad enough!

      Danny Beard on weekend afternoons

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      I'd say Danny has been given a fair hearing - and hasn't been up to par. You don't want Radio 1 to be a closed shop - but not being able to usually get the Whatsapp number right should be a dealbreaker. Errors happen even to the best DJs at times but if you can't get the Whatsapp number right you really shouldn't have a regular role on the station. But if they really are that desperate to have Danny on the schedule full-time then pair him up with somebody who can actually handle the technical side. You think of all the capable DJs who are in duos and trios and then you have just have a rookie like Danny left solo.  The LGBTQ+ point too I have to say if true as a gay man feels a case of proper discrimination. It's good to have LGBTQ+ representation for sure but the key thing is that the DJ is good at the end of the day and say in 2021 there was loads of LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 in Scott, Grimmy and Adele Roberts among others but at the end of the day they were strong DJs entirely there on merit. And even now there's still LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 who are there primarily because they're bloody good broadcasters. Danny is not one of them.

      There is a reason you don't know who is doing weekend afternoons yet. The plan is still to see how Danny Beard's trial goes on weekend mornings. Newspaper clippings have demonstrated Aled has been keen to push Danny Beard at the weekend and to give him a fair hearing. The plan looks to be to wait and see whether he improves in the next few weeks. The bosses still want more LBGTQ+ representation on the station.

      I think they should just bring that back as was. It's been nearly 20 years, so do it with a whole bunch of new DJ's.

      I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
