Viv 14 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 This week began with the Birthday Show and a variety of surprise messages for Mills, including one from Britney which he very genuinely seemed to love. Scott shares his birthday today with Lady Gaga!! A lot of effort / organisation clearly went into the birthday show, but I still found it a little 'flat'.. Didn't enjoy the guest, Matthew, off of 'Glee' (tedious), AND he used the 'S' WORD. OMG. OMG. My highlight this morning was former Big Weekend stuff, and actual Madonna being played out, in all her glory and supreme brilliance - 10/10 for that. Didn't like the boring 'Census' talk, which Scott seems bizarrely stressed out about?!? So much so, he is even bringing the form into Radio 1 tomorrow.......... why doesn't he just sit down, give himself a target time of completion, and bang it into the post, without involving a whole load of listeners and colleagues, and half of Planet Earth. Overall, so far this week 4.5/ 10. - mondays definitely don't work that well, do they ... www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/scottmills/Don't forget to post your hot views this week as the Big Weekend gets announced !! woo (even though everybody knows where it is already).

abertom 11 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 hmm frequently when covering Breakfast TOTDS or Becky has time off - you think on Breakfast (the prime time slot) you'd want to be at your strongest or is this a resignation that they won't get breakfast anyway so why bother? PS having met Becky with Matt Fincham she's lovely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jono 39 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 The Big Weekend announcement is the worst kept secret Radio 1 have had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmstinton93 10 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Its probably because they left it so long to announce it Quote http://twitter.com/#!/bmstinton93http://www.facebook.com/bmstinton93 Link to post Share on other sites
E*F*4L 10 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 really getting fed up of this Chris bloke now :|maybe Viv he is talking about the census because he is bothered about the CiA reading it ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viv 14 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 No, I think he just stresses about everything. I gave myself 1 hour to complete the form - no longer - and just got it done!! The only bit I failed to 'get' was the fact the Government would be reading, and I have made a short note about "government pointlessness" next to one of the boxes. The Big Weekend stuff was making my head fizz this morning. Must have been good to have been presenting to a big bunch of school kids, but from a listener point of view, very irritating. And, as Jono says, the very worst kept secret on Planet Earth. It's been all over twitter for days and days. Get ready for weeks of BW stuff, even when it's finished. #r1bw - well pleased about Lady Gaga though * screams * 0/10 for this morning.

DarkAngelMJH 12 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Good shows this week so far, haven't been able to listen to them in their entirety due to smelly work but don't worry everyone...I have downloaded them I like Chris and hope he will stay for a while. Come on BBC R1, keep him! Quote I am Burdened with Glorious Purpose - Loki Laufeyson Link to post Share on other sites
Viv 14 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Still not enjoying this particular week that much - 4/10 :-/ Did enjoy Gaga being played out this morning!! I think the thought of the BW from now until May may mean I have to have a temporary break with local radio.

Jono 39 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's VERY interesting how many characters there are on Scott's show now. The addition of Chris and Dan is making the show sound more like a proper breakfast show and not something we've witnessed before. There's also TOTDS, Beccy and Posh Radio 4 Lady. Simon and Tulip are also quite active on breakfast too.I find it very telling about what direction they're trying to take things in. No complaints mind you.Catching up on the podcasts at the moment.

I tried local radio for drivetime didn't end well, couldn't stand the adverts for more than couple of minutes did classic fm and radio 4, but most evenings just read book or podcasts instead!

Viv 14 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not getting too much yet, although I am finding the ability to get "Carlisle" on the air more than tedious. "Lambing Live" comes from Cumbria, so we have to hear about that - a feature suitable far more for local radio I would say. and the Cotton drew something that looked like the Carlisle football team symbol, so we "conveniently" had to hear about that.
