This week Mills' Red Nose Desert Trek stuff will finally be broadcast... check it out Thursday, March 17th 2011 at 9 pm, BBC 1. woo

This week will also see the huge feat by Moyles to attempt to stay on air (without losing the plot or the listeners) for over a day, so it should be fascinating to hear (and see) how this goes.

Moyles was saying this morning how a presenter these days can't give away an opinion, let alone any prizes, so how will he handle no sleep? Will this be the week his tells management where to shove it?

Simon Mayo (I *splutter* remember him well), was an excellent guest this morning, and began this particular week very well indeed. If you have missed it, it is well worth a listen again!!

Simon Mayo survived the cull of long-standing presenters which Radio 1 underwent the same year on the arrival of controller Matthew Bannister and his wish to rebrand the station as younger and more 'cutting edge' - how history seems to be repeating itself?!?!

Okaaaayy, so, plug yourselves in from 4 pm today to find out more!! woo hoo. :woohoo::woohoo:

Ahh the days when I was in 6th form and sneaking in me radio to listen to Mayo as I did me coursework stuffs... he also did the Golden Hour thing I seem to recall (probably under a different name, can't remember), and Mark and Lard were still on in afternoons, then in 99 or so, some guy called Chris Moyles started coming on after Mark and Lard... good times

Where is the Love was probably the best thing they ever did, to be fair... and it was still crap. It felt like they were trying to be a UK version of Run DMC, but went far too cheesy and sappy with it in that song. I see what they were trying to do, just didn't like it. I don't hate BEP like I do say NDweebs... at least I didn't until that wreck of a Superbowl appearance which even Slash and Ozzy couldn't save.

    • 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.
