Hello! At the risk of being shoved against the lockers by the older folk for being such a stupid newbie, I thought I'd ask a question about Dear Scott:

Is it actually a lot harder to get on it than Scott and Beccy make out? I've sent in some real zingers if I may say so myself...but nadda! What's a guy gotta do to get his e-mail read out? :(

For example, I sent in the attached clip for some innuendo bingo...I really thought it'd get on! Am I just being naive? Should I persevere? Shall I just go and sit in the corner and think about what I've done?

It depends what their loose theme of the show is, when you send it in, the amount of emails they are receiving. I get on quite a bit... just not in dear scott... also it helps if Beccy has emailed you in the past so she has your email as well... :P

Actually, as a sort of aside:

When I sent in my first e-mail, I got the auto-reply telling me he couldn't reply to all e-mails. My subsequent didn't even get an auto-reply :/

I've sent in an innuendo bingo clip, a request for the PR4L to read out the lyrics of a song that *sounds* like it says 'watch me while I take a pee', a photo of a sign in IKEA that says 'We aim to give you the Air Hostess service!' in their cafe (Could be competition for their air plane food restaurant!), a clip of Beccy being VERY silly, and all sorts of nonsense...

It's not even that I'm desperate to get on...it's just that some of the stuff really would have been good material. It probably didn't help that I sent my innuendo bingo clip in the last week Scott was on. Beccy wasn't even around on Thursday, and now he's in Australia. Ho hum...I won't give up!

Sorry, but I don't find either of this particular impressive.

If they have a guest coming in, think up a really good question/ some obscure fact that not a lot of people would know about. *

* This seems to be R1 mentality. When I sent in a question recently about Russell Howard attempting to set his bum on fire, I KNEW 100% R1 would pick it up.... when I sent it in, I could feel all the hairs on my head standing up!!!!!! *

* not. a. joke.

Yeah, no, I'll admit that my first few e-mails were lame...like...actually lame. But then I'd only been listening to the show for a few weeks. The last one though - the innuendo bingo - wasn't that bad, was it? I thought the fact that the words had come out of his own mouth would make it that much more humorous.

Anyway...perhaps I should have hung around a bit more before posting. I'm really not somebody who joined just so I could find out how to get onto the show...I don't want to get a reputation! I just thought I'd ask as you lot would probably know better than anybody else!

it's OK... Please feel free to get a reputation. Just wait to you run into Andy Mac.... he's absolutely obsessed with getting e-mails read out. And I mean OBSESSED.

Why would Scott choose to read his own stuff back though on his Show.... maybe that's what wrong, the innuendo is often from external sources, you know!!

I would wait until the next batch of guests, find out something so completely random and off-the-wall about them, then do up an e-mail with the Guest name in the subject title, and go for it!!

Not so sure about the UM thing. I have unofficialmills in my sig., and can't get this place picked up.

Argh except he totally just sailed right past this one without saying anything!

It's ok though, I'll make my peace with it. One day.

Until then, I'll sit here in my dark room, on a Friday night, rocking back and forth on a chair in front of a computer, plotting ways in which to concoct a suitab- ooh! Look! A video of a cat being wrapped up! Ok, I'm totally over Dear Scott.

I heard Andy Mac on it AGAIN the other day. I've sent in plenty of mail, but only ever got an email read out once. Basically, wait until they are covering for Chris, and you'll have more chance of getting on. (:

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

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
