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.

    • 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.
    • 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 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. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
