The Big conversation with Nihal sounds good, I've always thought radio 1 should do more political stuff and Nihal is a perfect fit, considering he hosts a phone in on the Asian Network.

It's interesting (even if not a surprise!) that Nick is covering drive, I wonder if they'll consider someone else (Tom/Dev/Sara/Gemma) to cover Scott in the future? Otherwise Grimmy will be away from his slot more often than he's there! Also interesting to see Sara in for Fearne, I would have thought Gemma would do it now? Maybe she can't or are waiting for her to bed in for a little longer? I think she's destined for weekday daytimes soon, she's very talented :)

He has also been known to stand in on 5Live for phone-in presenters such as Tony Livesey, so he has definitely got experience, was rather good at controlling the debate too.

I will absolutely despair if they put Dev or Tom in charge of drive. I may never listen to R1 again! Gemma is too new i think, but only a matter of time. Also, Sara usually covers Fearne, either her or Annie anyway

I think Gemma will only cover Fearne when Trevor moves on from the same slot at1xtra else the shows would be sound too similar. She may cover Greg however for a full week. I think Grimmys only covering the Friday as its a one off. He should choose whether he is doing Scott's or Gregs cover, not both

Reggie and Gemma are both horrendous, they are part of a really horrendous weekend line-up at the moment.

Weekends are at there worst since I started listening, I will listen to Coxy, Jameela & Huw at a push. Cairney is terrible, Ditto Vernon Kay and Danny Howards' dance anthems should be called Pop songs with a Dance remix.

I will listen to Sara but even her show is ruined by features that seem forced upon her... Huw is diabolical in the daytime. Vernon is as interesting as a bin liner, and Cairney seems to have the wit and interest of a damp sponge.

And Danny Howard... he's ok... show is awkward and needs reworking... he's in an awkward position of being suited to a later slot's music taste... you can tell he wants to be playing something other than a remix of Carly Rae Jepsen, or the Wanted.

You know a debate on Radio 1 will just be reduced to the lowest possible denominator... Why not have a full on intellectual debate, with people under 30 (i.e. target audience), because AMAZINGLY, some of them do possess a brain...

This is true, but they have someone with good experience of controlling debates in the chair, that's hopefully a positive start, whatever R1 reduce the format to.

Why not scrap the target audience idea altogether? It is a piece of SHITE. People realistically ARE older (including... shock.... 40+s on their way to the nursing home), and EVERYONE needs to be able to get involved.

That is what USED to happen on the Surgery (in the days before radio 1 started phoning people and asking their AGES). Epic fail. Major epic fail.
