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.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • 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
