I don't really know what to say about it to be honest.

a) Scott was full of pure amezzin'ness, and looked awesome, behaved awesomely, and I love hearing him talking about more intimate stuff. I was really impressed with the way he acted and stuff.

B) Uganda horrifies me, and I was crying within the first five minutes, and still am now. It's shocking, and disgraceful. Pure disturbing.

They base their hatred on religion. 'Adam and Eve, not Steve.' Within religion, what the hell would they be like?

c) Are newspapers written in English? They have crap newspaper names, and are really informal: do you know any stuff about Stosh? What language do they speak?? Wikipedia time...

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

i saw the repeat of this tonight. full credit for the way scott went about this and how he handled a very harsh situation. i'm not gay myself, so i guess i can't relate to some of the struggles gay people do face. but what i do know is that everyone deserves a chance to be happy. there are some very serious issues in parts of this horrible world.

on the grid.

It was an amazing documentary being gay I'm happy I live in a great country like the uk it has it's problems but you can be yourself without the fear of mass violence directed upon you. That womans story made me cry she was raped for being a lesbian in the idea it would make her straight that really got to me

I found it quite interesting to watch and it was quite annoying as well just seeing how misguided some of these people are. Some of them believe being gay shortens your life! Ridiculous. Also I know that BBC Three shows some weird crap sometimes but I thought this was really good.

ps: Loving your Avatar, Ryan!! :hahaha:

Thanks! :)

It was a really interesting documentary. Scott done very well to keep his cool in that situation having a conversation with someone who hates who you are must have been very difficult. Its only when you watch things like this you realise how easy we have it in the UK. We can be who we are without fear, those storys last night were heartbreaking.

Im Proud of Scott!

It was really good, but for certain, it takes guts to go to a country where you're hated, and speak to people who want you in prison! And agreed, it makes it look so easy to live in the UK!

I myself aren't gay, but i'm sure Scott was really worried over there.

*takes off Mystic Smeg hat*

This time you are very, very wrong. I didn't like this at all. I found it lacking depth, jumping about scene to scene.. I thought there would be a lot more drama and emotion....

It felt, to me, like any kind of "Oh, I'm a celeb. - I suppose at some point I really should do something about promoting gayness, so I'll do this". Interesting to note from another interview that he doesn't wish to do stuff like this regularly. But then, I guess that would mean actually getting off a pedestal and dealing with the real World a bit more often?

the only bit that seemed genuine was the Stosh stuff. I've already been through all this on Twitter, and am not going back through it again.

2/10. No more please.

No. In this country you get what is the top story on Newsbeat today..... On Newsbeat there is a story about sex offenders, including rapists, having their human rights violated (Oh, poor bloody things - did you suffer too much).

Beyond a certain time on the sex offenders register, there are calls for their names to be removed. Ain't that sweet !! Bless them.... *

The clips were the only good part. And yeh, I sure as hell won't be judging in future, before seeing something in full. Oh well.

Plenty of others enjoyed it. I seem to be in the minority that didn't. But, o well..... eh.

10 / 10 I think…

This topic is really close to my heart. I found out about it quite a few months ago, and the Ugandan people disgust me.

That comment is just as bigotted as the homophobic bigots you're moaning about.

Diversity is what this world thrives on, so why are we so set against it!

Can't argue with that.

8/10. I enjoyed it and thought it was refreshing to see Scott openly acknowledging the fact he is gay - the first time anywhere I've really seen this; but also reminding us how it's just not a big deal in this country for him (and others too in my experience) and that he's able to just get on with his life and not have any effect on his popularity or career choice. As it should be.

It's saddening that the Ugandan aversion to homosexuality appears to be propagated by so called religious leaders. As someone else said, where's the good thinking in that? How is that 'Christian'? Bleurgh.

I rewatched the documentary today, then I watched Glee, which broadcasted two openly gay guys and one closeted, showcased homophobia and included a gay kiss. Then I watched 90210, which has a currently storyline about Teddy coming to terms with his sexuality (TIAN FTW!), and just now I've watched Waterloo Road, which focused on JOSH AND NATE (AAAAAAAAAAAAGH) tonight. 'Twas awesome.

I guess their television is a bit different. . .

But I mean, my point is that, well, MEH AT UGANDANS AND PASTA AND POLITICIANS.

He did that back in approx. 2001.

As someone else pointed out on Twitter, it's a pity what wound up trending was NOT how great the Uganda stuff was, but the fact that "Scott Mills Is Gay"

BTW, Scott has now made Reveal magazine's "Twitterati" awards section, for best tweets of the week.

His comment on the fact lots of peeps didn't know he was gay until his BBC 3 programme has been picked up by the mag as a great tweet. :rolleyes:

I swear many people who would not notice something like that walk around with blinkers on... anyway if anyone famous does great tweets that belong there, it's people like David Schneider off of Movies (like Mission: Impossible and 28 Days Later) and Comedy... Dude comes out with some utter genius :P

      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

      By NathanS · Posted

      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.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
