Does anyone know if Scott's been ill while covering the breakfast show and who covered for him? i don't think he has recently, i just wonder what would happen if Vernon wasn't available we could have Dev on early breakfast (he never mentions he does that show when he's covering for someone else) and on breakfast.

It makes a change, it's usually Scott who's ill.

That comment makes it sound like scott is off ill all the time?!

I cant remember Chris having a day off sick in the whole 10 years I have been listening to Radio 1. Zoe Ball and Sara Cox yes, which is how I first became aware of Scott, as back then he was on Early Breakfast and had to stay on and cover all the time! Even when Chris was on Drive I cant think of a time someone had to stand in for him as he was ill!

What do you expect, it IS Vernon filling in, isn't it? :P

I'm not listening but not only for that reason. That said, if only Scott could be the one to fill in at such short notice. They seem to be taking this on a day-by-day basis at the moment which is the only way they can really.

yes, fair enough... He never is that brilliant. I do like him in the weekend Slot, but put him in breakfast, and it's the same story every time.

Plus, he was on about his Family Fortunes stuff, and not wanting to look too tired for the filming. But it's just too bad, isn't it, really?! People will be off at R1, and someone has to fill in!!

Hmm someone who seems more bothered about a TV career than a radio one... this sounding familiar to anyone? ;) There are key differences of course, mostly in reaction to him. I'm sure I don't need to point these out.

(I don't want to turn this thread into that discussion as there's already a place for it)

have to say I disagree with some of the more recent opinions, Vern is one of the best presenters the station has! Sara is alright, but only in small doses.

I think theres a definite distinction between Vern's weekend show and when he's in with the team when Chris is off (whether it be climbing mountains or illness). He seems to have more chat and banter with the rest of the team like Chris does, and I think its pretty clear they're all friends and get on really well off air as well. Sara's interaction with the team makes her more bearable as well I think

Vernon was only brought in to do the car talk with Jay Kay imo, Sara would've probably fallen asleep on him. I would like to have heard more about Jay Kay's music/private life, but shame, it seems he's not interested in discussing these topics. Oh well. Look forward to new album...

Anyhow, I thoroughly enjoyed Sara in for Moyles. Thought she did a top job. Her and Dave make a great duo. Dom and Tina were a little quieter than usual. Good shows last week nonetheless. Aled was on great form. Bet he hasn't slept properly for 5 days, poor little thing.

Get well by Monday Christopher!

How patronising. That's a grown, competent man you're talking about.

Oh Viv. It's clearly more of a term of endearment from someone that obviously likes and admires Aled...

I enjoyed both Vernon (surprisingly as he is more suited to weekends) and Sara for the change - I find Moyles can get a bit 'samey' in his content and delivery, so a refreshing change.

      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.
