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 am gonna ring ofcom. Totally inappropriate for time of day. They r really not on with this.

You're totally doing my head in. Are you a fan of the show or not?

Wonder if relations are a bit frosty after all, I'd have thought they'd have been a handover

Don't remember there being a handover in many months. Long before any talk of changes to the shows.

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 ;)

Sadly I didn't have time to listen to the show today due to being in Manchester however am fully planning on listening to the iplayer tomorrow before the next show :)

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.

    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
