10 o'clock live

for those of you who do not know what 10 O'clock Live is have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_O'Clock_Live

i have to say i think it's pretty good & i really didn't think that the presenters would be as good as they are on this type of show, David Mitchell is by far the best thing on the show due to his interviews for once he actually asks questions people want to know the answers to & he gets a answer out of them & also which is very rare lets the interviewee answer & then he comes back at them, the interview with Lib Dem MP Simon Hughes was especially good i thought.

ok i know the show is overtly left-wing, but it seems to be very popular with the 16-34 age range & viewing figures are not that to far from Question Times which as far as i can see has had it's day.

it seems that Lauren Laverne wasn't on to much on the last episode, after coming into criticism from viewers, but i do disagree because she isn't a comedian thus doesn't really fit in with the other presenters, but if a actual roll can be found for her then i think she could work really well.

what does everybody else think about the show ?

anything that can encourage younger people to get interested in politics & what the government are "actually" up to can only be a good thing.

PS, love the mentions in the shows of the Bilderberg's & Rothschild's :D

:)

Yeah Alan it's a great show! The first episode was really really poor but after that it really picked up. I still can't quite work out why Lauren Laverne is there, she doesn't add much to the show. David Mitchell interviewing Alistair Campbell was the highlight of the series so far for me. A weird move to have it scheduled against Question Time though.

Me neither, I also can't figure out why on earth they have Brooker on there either. Jimmy Carr is a comedian and presenter, so having him on a show where its current affairs mixed with a bit of comedy. David Mitchell equally belong there, he's a funny man but also seems to genuinely know about politics and current affairs. Laverne, hmmmm I actually can't see a purpose at all in her, not just in the show but on tv in general. Brooker is even more pointless being on this show, from what I hear he is a TV critic yes? Well the problem I have with critics is they are too full of their own opinion and to be honest I think this definitly comes across where he is concerned. I don't think he's funny at all so I can't understand why he's on a show like this.

A weird move to have it scheduled against Question Time though.

I might be wrong but I honestly can't see either show losing many viewers to the other. I'd quite happily sit and watch 10 o'clock live but I would rather sit and watch paint dry than Question Time.

Not impressed with censorship

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
