I fear some stupid C*** may ring ofcom again.

They would be better to do stuff like that between 1 and 3 but probably not after 3 when the kids are being picked up. That said it's Easter so who knows who is listening!

I thought he was very good today aswell, at least we still have the podcast.

No crossover chat. :D

On the drive time show he always did a handover with Zane who was after his show but never did one with Greg who was before his show. (The common explanation for this is he is having a pre-show smoke)

Today he had a handover with Fearne (She did have presents for him and he has 15 mins to smoke a ciggarette whilst newsbeat is on) but he didn't bother with the post show handover with Greg :P which he would always do with Zane. Lol

Not entirely sure why people expect a handover. He's following Greg's format - do a handover with Fearne and finish at 4. Greg to start with used to finish bang on 4 after the Ten Minute Takeover.

Poor Viv, her outburst seemed timely when those elderly women started criticising Madonna ;)

There definitely used to be a Scot / Greg hand over... and he would pop into a feet up Friday... They would have discussed the swap in advance, and I think there was a point where it did stop...

"Up next, the *ALL NEW* Greg James Show" "WOOOOO" "Woo". Yeah, highly sarcastic.

I did think OWO fell a bit flat today, especially the c*** is it clothes? thing - I liked the whole set up, just it wasn't an OWO game... and the whole Scott Mills Points thing per game in OWO is weird... he should say something like 100 points to the winner...

I'll give you that the answers were a bit of a cop-out and the points do nothing for me and I expect the new audience aren't going to be into "points" like the younger audience... but for me it's about the situations and I enjoyed the Fearne thing.

Have all of today off, so will listen after jeremy vine finishes. slightly grumpy coz i sent a text message to the landline requesting coffee, and bt did not deliver it. so had to get up and make it.

You sent a text message to your home phone? You know the woman that reads those text messages isn't real, she isn't going to make you coffee ;)

He did handovers with Huw happily last week aswell...

I enjoyed the Fearne thing, just sounded a bit out of place... I thought we were going to get a 'describe Fearne Cotton in three words" thing. A horse for one bin.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Just watched that advert and it made me realise quite how many 'big' specialist presenters there were back then
    • I've been reminded of this Radio 1 cinema advert. I remember being so excited to see it. The In New Music We Trust era. Everything felt so cool, even if they had Westwood.  
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.
